Concept Of Innovative Development Research Articles

Актуальные инструменты управления знаниями в организации

The winning strategy for the national companies development in terms of “knowledge economy” accelerating dynamics and expanding market for technically sophisticated goods and services is based on building the qualitatively new intellectual capital, capable to synthesize and transform the diversity of organizational intangible assets in the intellectual property, which ultimately affects positively on the company overall financial performance and contributes to its market value. The paper presents the key approaches and tools of corporate knowledge management as an essential prerequisite for due development of all intellectual capital constituents and effectiveness of human resources management. Knowledge management as a separate area of tactical and strategic management can significantly contribute to the company’s profits through substantial reduction in losses of working hours, time, spent on seeking data necessary for timely decision making at all the managerial levels, as well as through mitigating risks of innovations implementation. Sustainable functioning of the knowledge management system requires due corporative culture involving all employees in a continuous process of learning and knowledge sharing, powerful organizational and technological support, clear concept of innovative development based on improving corporate development and education formats. The paper reveals how to implement modern knowledge management strategy through selecting, processing, storing, conservation and classification of both information and knowledge, “meaningful to the organization” from internal and external sources, providing access to the knowledge necessary for effective performance, as well as through dissipating and circulating knowledge within and outside the organization in the course of cooperating with partners and market contractors.

Теоретические обоснования концепции инновационного развития бизнес-процессов в компании

This article contains theoretical and practical justification of the concept of innovative development of business processes based on the information analysis of the company’s infrastructure under the conditions of building a common information space. This study focuses on the supporting business processes update, on the documented information processing based on the state-of-the-art information technology solutions in particularly.The factors preventing an enterprise to build a common information space are highlighted in this study. The functional set of the management areas is examined and the degree of state-of-the-art information technology utilization to support the company’s process areas is analyzed. It is proposed to overcome the identified barriers through the automation of the company’s process areas and innovative development of supporting business processes of documented information processing by using modern information technology resources.

Sustainable campus initiative at Keio University after the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster

2 Office of Environmental Information, Minister's Secretariat, Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan, Tokyo 100-8975, Japan Abstract After the shock of the Great East Japan Earth- quake on 11 March 2011, the issue of local sustainability is presently center stage in the Japanese political process, and educational and research values are imperative for long-term cost savings, risk management, and clean, efficient energy generation. This study illustrates the Sustainable Campus Initiative approach at Keio University that students have been undertaking to make the campus more sustainable and resilient during post-disaster restoration. To unveil innovative recovery concepts, processes, and social challenges, several outcomes that maximize energy efficiency and conservation opportunities are discussed. The results indicate that the Sustainable Campus Initiative contributed to energy relief in the summer of 2011. It made campus life more creative during a period when the 15 percent mandatory power-saving order by the government to big clients of Tokyo and Tohoku Electric was established. Pilot experiments provide a useful example of how the communications media have an extraordinary abil- ity to increase public understanding of social issues. Since the March 11 disaster, power shortages have redirected renewed attention to fossil fuels. As large energy consumers, universi- ties have an increased responsibility to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable design and encourage innovative development concepts in their regions in the future.

INNOVATIONS IN SUBSEA DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION

Esso Australia Ltd on behalf of the Esso/BHP joint venture, recently completed Australia's first deep- water oil and gas development, Blackback, in 395 m water depth in eastern Bass Strait. Esso used a phased development approach and an innovative development concept to mitigate the effect of reserves uncertainty. The development consists of three wells in daisy-chain formation tied back to the existing Mackerel platform, 23 km distant. The development also used innovative approaches for installation of flexible flowline and umbilical jumpers from the drilling rig, management of hydrates in the production flowline and control system integration.In the same time frame, Esso repaired the failed electro-hydraulic control systems of two 10-year-old subsea wells. The repair program used an innovative approach to fault diagnosis and field work.
