Abstract

A network of marine reserves can enhance yield in depleted fisheries by protecting populations, particularly large, old spawners that supply larvae for interspersed fishing grounds. The ability of marine reserves to enhance sustainable fisheries is much less evident. We report empirical evidence of a marine reserve network improving yield regionally for a sustainable spiny lobster fishery, apparently through the spillover of adult lobsters and behavioral adaptation by the fishing fleet. Results of a Before-After, Control-Impact analysis found catch, effort, and Catch-Per-Unit Effort increased after the establishment of marine reserves in the northern region of the fishery where fishers responded by fishing intensively at reserve borders, but declined in the southern region where they vacated once productive fishing grounds. The adaptation of the northern region of the fishery may have been aided by a history of collaboration between fishers, scientists, and managers, highlighting the value of collaborative research and education programs for preparing fisheries to operate productively within a seascape that includes a large marine reserve network

Abstract

Kritische Relationalität interveniert in Ordnungen des Denkens, die Kritik als Operation des Trennens und Auseinanderhaltens entworfen und damit die modernen Dualismen von Menschlichem und Nicht-Menschlichem, Subjekten und Objekten, Organischem und Technischem, Natur und Kultur geprägt haben. Ausgehend von multiplen, verschränkten Krisen suchen die Beiträge dieses Bandes konkrete Szenen auf, in denen das kritische Potenzial von Verbindungen und Verstrickungen anschaulich wird. Das Ausloten von Relationalität wird dabei zu einem analytischen Modus, der für die Produktivität von Verbindungen sensibilisiert und zugleich ihre differenziellen Dimensionen anerkennt.

41. The Direct and Indirect Impact of Relational Ties on Innovation Performance: An Empirical Study in China

Abstract

In large organizations, local use of innovations is not enough; extracting the full use of the innovation requires deployment across the organization. The purpose of this paper is to explore strategies for the deployment of service innovations and factors influencing success. We adopt an inductive theory-building approach with a longitudinal embedded case study of ten successful service innovations. We find two deployment strategies: required adoption, in which subsidiaries are required to adopt innovations, and voluntary adoption, in which adoption is not compulsory—innovations are showcased, but the adoption decision is left to the subsidiaries. We have investigated the factors influencing deployment, including the decentralized nature of service innovation, fit with the internal and external context, extrinsic and intrinsic motivations, and handovers. Based on analyses of case evidence, we put forward research propositions accordingly. This study provides managerial guidance for multidivisional organizations to extract full value from service innovations. Although some results may be particular to the Chinese context, research in other contexts can broaden the generalizability of the findings.

Abstract

A recent investigation of innovation and product development at 245 manufacturing operations in Germany and the UK sought to assess, among other issues, whether UK companies still live up to their traditional image for inventiveness. It was found that very few of the sites studied in fact have world class design practice and performance, and that there are many low achieving manufacturing companies in the UK. UK companies have an early focus on industrial design, while German companies place more emphasis on cost management during the design process than their UK counterparts.

Abstract

A study has been caried out of performance and operations at 663 plants in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands and Finland. European companies have to compete against Japan, the US and emerging economies. Some regions have high performing companies, and these include Silicon Glen in the UK. The German textile industry shows strengths, but German machine tool production needs reform. The UK has many weak companies where management tends to respond to emergencies rather than improving performance.

Abstract

Marked differences were noted with regards to manufacturing strategy orientations of Japanese and Western companies. Data obtained from an international research study revealed that differences in management practices between Japanese and Western firms can be partly attributed to fundamental cultural differences in time approach of managers. Unlike Western firms that tend to focus more on short-term performance objectives, Japanese firms put equal emphasis on short-term and long-term performance objectives.

Abstract

A model for auditing technical innovation management is presented to enable all personnel involved in product development to evaluate their performance and the efficiency of existing organizational practices. The model identifies four core processes in technical innovation management, which include concept generation, product development, process innovation and technology acquisition. These core processes are supported by three enabling processes which include human and financial resource deployment, appropriate systems and tool use and senior management leadership and direction. Several case studies showing the appropriate application of the technical innovation audit model are also presented.
