The literature on the effects of research and development
The economic return to public and private R&D is of enormous interest to academics and policy makers. First, private returns to R&D appear to be large and larger than the returns to alternative investments.

The residential economy as a lever for development: : an estimate of the basic incomes of Swiss regions
The economic base theory has been systematically mobilised since the 1950s to identify the external—known as basic—incomes of a region stemming from its local production system.

Collaborative demand forecasting with integration of event-based judgements
Mathematical forecasting approaches can lead to reliable demand forecast in some environments by extrapolating regular patterns in time-series. However, unpredictable events that do not appear in historical data can reduce the usefulness of mathematical forecasts for demand planning purposes. Since forecasters have partial knowledge of the context and of future events, grouping and…

Equilibrium analysis in multi-echelon supply chain with multi-dimensional utilities of inertial players
In a supply chain, the importance of information elicitation from the supply chain players is vital to design supply chain network. The rationality and self-centredness of these players causes the information asymmetry in the supply chain and thus situation of conflict and non-participation of the players in the network design process. The supply chain players’ non-participation or…

While many organizations propose relevant data sets, they are hardly accessed, analysed and reused because of the formats inconsistency and the inappropriate information browsing and visualization. The goal of the project is to valorise the existing cultural heritage through a…

A live-case lite approach as formative assessment
Written case studies have been widely used in marketing. This method presents some shortcomings. We have suggested an approach employing a version of live case studies involving managers of a local company as formative evaluators contributing to an iterative and formalized formative assessment process. This approach may add some interesting features such as presenting a more…
