The aim of this paper is an analysis of the technology transfers from Cnr Institutes of Turin Research Area to the subjects that could get benefits in the 1995-’97 period. Using the Cnr final budget, two statistical disaggregation levels were applied on the basis of data contained in internal...

Aim of this paper is to analyse tacit transfers of knowledge from Cnr Institutes of Turin Research Area to the subjects that could get benefits in the 1995-’97 period. This work uses the data from Cnr final balance-sheets, integrated with internal administrative documents of the Institutes....

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contributions of Social Identify Theory’s variables to research performance. Regression models were applied on data of ten national research Council (Cnr) institutes of Piemonte, a highly industrialised region in North Western Italy.Results show...

Aim of this paper is to analyse the spatial aspects of technology transfer (t.t.) in Cnr Institutes of Piemonte, a highly industrialised region in North Western Italy. The specific purpose is to verify two hypotheses 1) If the spatial propagation of t.t. follows the Hägerstrand...

One of the fundamental issues associated with the achievement of sustainable development in is to identify technological and scientific applications addressing the degradation of environmental systems (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere), and concomitant risks to health and human...

The goal of this study is to show emerging applications of deep learning technology in cancer imaging. Deep learning technology is a family of computational methods that allow an algorithm to program itself by learning from a large set of examples that demonstrate the desired behavior....

What is a disruptive innovation? This study confronts this question here by presenting different approaches, which endeavor to explain the dynamic behavior of disruptive technologies in competitive markets. Firstly, this study introduces destructive technology as a radical innovation, based on...

Technology is a complex system formed by different elements given by incremental and radical innovations to satisfy needs, achieve goals and/or solve problems of adopters to take advantage of important opportunities or to cope with consequential environmental threats. This study suggests...

This study suggests a new concept of technology that is a main element of the system of technological change in society: killer or disruptive technology is a based on new products and/or processes that destroys the usage of established products/processes sold and used. The behavior of killer...

A vast literature exists on disruptive technologies; however, some fundamental questions are unknown, such as: how is the speed of disruptive technologies in competitive markets? How is the pathway of technological cycle of disruptive technologies? The study confronts these questions here by...
