ALL FOR THE MONEY? THE LIMITS OF MONETARY REWARDS IN INNOVATION CONTESTS WITH USERS

Practitioners increasingly use innovation contests to harness the knowledge of external crowds for internal innovation purposes in exchange for prize money. While some innovation contests have the objective to attract professional experts from distant fields to obtain technical solutions, other innovation contests primarily target customers or users in order to generate new product and service ideas. Hence, external crowds differ substantially across, but also within, innovation contests in terms of personal needs in the innovation domain. Drawing upon the private-collective model of innovation, we argue that participants’ “userness” in terms of personal needs gives rise to non-monetary reward expectations and collectively oriented participation as opposed to the private pursuit of monetary rewards emphasised in innovation contests. Hence, the effectiveness of monetary rewards in innovation contests is bound to certain participants and behaviours. In particular, participants weigh non-monetary rewards more strongly against monetary rewards (1) when their personal need in the innovation domain is high, and (2) when choosing to engage collectively in evaluating and commenting on other contributions as opposed to submitting own contributions. We find support for these hypotheses in an empirical study where user participation in a real innovation contest is regressed on survey-based measures of expected rewards that users perceive prior to the contest. The observed effect sizes of the proposed shifts from monetary to non-monetary rewards are so pronounced that for a given level of personal need and a given type of participation behaviour only either reward type is effective and a compensational relation between both types of rewards does not exist. Monetary rewards are even detrimental and lower user participation if the two proposed boundary conditions are taken together.

A Readiness Evaluation of Applying e-Government in the Society: Shall Citizens begin to Use it?

As people are in the era of the web, most of the society is using networks in their daily task, governments had found, it is crucial to build an electronic entity that was named e-government, to make transactions easier for citizens, and to make government nearer to society. The objective of this study is to assess the extent of e-government application on different countries, particular in Jordan; in addition, several experiences were displayed in this study. The examination was qualitative through interviewing governmental employees for extracting results based on their answers, focusing on the continuity of using e-government by users as a dependent variable. The conclusion was that the policies are trending to build their e-government entity, and to make it available for citizens to use. Further, this study recommends the government to concentrate on the path of building individuals’ trust as well as using social influence to reinforce the idea of e-government service and evolve its usage.

Diabetes index evaluation framework based on data mining technology: a genetic factor involved solution for predicting diabetes risk

With the development of data mining, scientists began to apply information technology to solve medical problems. In this context, the idea of auxiliary medical service emerged. The purpose of this study is to propose a new framework predicting the probability of suffering from diabetes via diabetes index (DI), which is defined as a score to assess the diabetes-related risk of the participant. DI is calculated based on a diabetic clinical dataset and the SVM model is applied as well. Particularly, genetic feature is innovatively introduced as an important factor in view of the fact that people with family history are more vulnerable to diabetes. The framework is applied to implement a diabetes auxiliary evaluation system. After a set of comprehensive experiments, the assessment result is supposed to identify risk of the disease at an early stage, which contributes to a deeper understanding of one's own health conditions.

Developing smart service concepts: morphological analysis using a Novelty-Quality map

ABSTRACTAmong many techniques for generating new service ideas, morphological analysis has been used due to the advantage of decomposing the system into dimensions and shapes and bringing creative results in the process of recombining them. However, with the rise of smart service systems, the determination of dimensions and shapes has become a critical problem, particularly as both their structure and components become complex. This research focuses on a data-driven approach by incorporating mobile app service documents to increase objectivity and diversity in the construction of a morphology matrix. To this end, firstly, the novelty-quality map is developed to identify innovative data based on quantitative indicators. Secondly, morphological analysis is employed along with experts’ judgment in order to generate new smart service concepts. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach are shown based on a comparative analysis with conventional approaches and real services through a case study of smart home.

FDM Rapid Prototyping Technology of Complex-Shaped Mould Based on Big Data Management of Cloud Manufacturing

In order to solve the problem of high cost and long cycle in the process of traditional subtractive material manufacturing of a complex-shaped mould, the technology of FDM rapid prototyping is used in combination with the global service idea of cloud manufacturing, where the information of various kinds of heterogeneous-forming process data produced in the process of FDM rapid prototyping is analysed. Meanwhile, the transfer and transformation relation of each forming process data information in the rapid manufacturing process with the digital model as the core is clarified, so that the FDM rapid manufacturing process is integrated into one, thus forming a digital and intelligent manufacturing system for a complex-shaped mould based on the cloud manufacturing big data management. This paper takes the investment casting mould of a spur gear as an example. Through research on the forming mechanism of jet wire, the factors affecting forming quality and efficiency is analysed from three stages: the pretreatment of the 3D model, the rapid prototyping, and the postprocessing of the forming parts. The relationship between the forming parameters and the craft quality is thus established, and the optimization schemes at each stage of this process are put forward through the study on the forming mechanism of jet wire. Through a rapid prototyping test, it is shown that the spur face gear master mould based on this technology can be quickly manufactured with a critical surface accuracy within a range of 0.036 mm–0.181 mm and a surface roughness within the range of 0.007–0.01 μm by only 1/3 the processing cycle of traditional subtractive material manufacturing. It lays a solid foundation for rapid intelligent manufacturing of products with a complex-shaped structure.

Development of service concepts that utilize health-related data: A case study with the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea

The South Korean government retains valuable health-related data for nearly all citizens. This data set includes insurance data, diagnosis history data, treatment history data, and medical examination data. This article presents a case study with the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea to develop service concepts that utilize such health-related data. A service concept indicates what to offer to customers and how to offer it. In the case study, 138 service ideas that utilize health-related data were generated based on literature and focus group interviews with 14 experts. The ideas were evaluated by 20 experts via focus group interviews. Eight new service concepts were designed based on the ideas, and then evaluated by 19 experts and 612 citizens. The service concepts are expected to improve the national healthcare system of South Korea. This article also presents key dimensions of health-related data utilization services and issues in developing such services, which were identified based on the case study. The original contribution of this study is the development of health-related data utilization service concepts at a national scale. This work will serve as a foundational reference for future research aimed at developing such services.

The challenge of making nudging attractive to politicians

AbstractThis article discusses some of the political barriers to the adaption of behavioural approaches to public policy. It contrasts the increasing acceptance of behavioural ideas in the civil service with the limited enthusiasm displayed, so far, by politicians. It also suggests that more attention should be focused on the impact of those affected by behavioural initiatives.

Play at work, learning and innovation

ABSTRACTSuggesting a virtuous triangle constituting public service innovation of new governances, innovation and learning, the paper examines how and why a particular mode of learning occurs: that of play. Having identified an absence of research literature on play as a catalyst for new ideas in public services, the paper argues that the diversified nature of public services and disciplinary intermixing offers fertile ground for playing with new service ideas. Our conception of play avoids functional interpretations, such as Amabile or individualizing the results of play and instead draws upon Vygotsky’s social learning theory to conceptualize play as a group activity from which new ideas emerge and suggest a new framework for understanding purposive play at work and the contribution it can make to public service innovation.

Happy Birthday NHS.

Mahatma Gandhi is credited with saying that a nation’s greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members. The UK should be proud of its National Health Service, which still protects the vulnerable, takes away the fear of the financial consequences of illness (but no longer, alas, of social care), and greets patients with a smile rather than a request to see their credit card. The ideas of service, commitment, and altruism and the principle that health care is not a business but a social good, are woven into the fabric of British society. Commercialisation of health care will have consequences far greater than simply having to pay for medical treatment. Our front cover shows the 1946 National Health Service Act, which came into effect on 5 July 1948 to create the National Health Service for England and Wales. However, the ideas that shaped the NHS were those that created …

Family therapy and schizophrenia: a brief theoretical overview and a framework for clinical practice

SUMMARYFamily or systemic therapy is often contrasted with psychoeducational approaches, but their historical differences have become blurred with the increasing development of integrated family interventions for psychosis. This article describes the theoretical context for the development of integrated family interventions and provides a framework for practice. It presents a collaborative, resource-oriented integrated family intervention for working with families and wider support networks within seven phases: the sharing of information and provision of emotional and practical support; identification of patient, family and wider network resources; encouraging mutual understanding; identification and alteration of unhelpful patterns of interaction; improving stress management, communication and problem-solving skills; coping with symptoms and relapse prevention planning; ending and ensuring that each session is a mini-intervention. It also includes guidelines for family intervention practice, as well as ideas for service development.LEARNING OBJECTIVES•Understand the theoretical developments in the field•Be able to apply the integrated framework to family intervention in practice•Consider different ways of developing family-based servicesDECLARATION OF INTERESTNone.

Design-integrated financial assessment of smart services

The emergence of data-driven services in the Internet of Things provides manufacturers of technical products the opportunity to become providers of services, which use data as primary input. The development of such smart services, however, is characterized by high complexity and uncertainty. To identify service ideas which are worth to pursue further, the potential financial impact is an important criterion. While the importance of a business case is acknowledged in service engineering, there is currently no concrete method that is integrated with the early design phases of smart services. Therefore, we propose a tool-based method for the design-integrated financial assessment of smart services. We use a design science research approach to develop a meta-model, which is implemented in a web-based tool. The experimental evaluation shows that the proposed tool provides benefits, especially in structuring the task for project teams. Therefore, it appears to be beneficial to provide interdisciplinary teams a tool-based support for the design and evaluation of smart services.

THE SHOVEL IS OUR WEAPON

There are many functional, organizational and ideational similarities between the labour services in Germany, the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) and in Norway, Arbeidstjenesten (AT). There were numerous conduits for transnational transfers of ideas and practices, especially as the RAD oversaw the creation of the Norwegian obligatory service during the occupation. Although the German conception of labour service inevitably influenced the development of the AT, the AT was not simply a copy of a German model. Norway had its own history of voluntary labour services and the labour service idea resonated with existing structures in Norwegian society and politics. This article discusses what elements of the model were adopted and rejected. Contingencies, context and continuities also played a decisive role in shaping the Norwegian service, for which the German RAD served as an example of what a labour service should look like, but also what it should not look like.

Great theses and dissertation start with an intriguing idea

Strategic efforts expended towards identifying and evaluating ideas for a graduate student's thesis or dissertation can help prepare that student for a successful career as either a researcher or practitioner. Generating intriguing and novel ideas can help advance the field of leisure studies, yet the process of identifying great research ideas and questions is largely uncritiqued. This paper presents alternatives to the traditional “extend the research literature” approach, as a means of identifying research questions focusing more strategically on the diversity of information and process of observation and thinking. Graduate students upon beginning their studies can be mentored by faculty to explore ‘what's next’ by capitalizing on their ‘fresh eyes’ to generate novel ideas worth exploring. Some of these methods are akin to how persons and organizations develop ideas for new products and services. Consequently, these methods not only help students going into research-based careers but also those intending to work in professions outside of academia.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PEDAGOGICAL IDEAS IN LITERARY WORKS OF G. VASHCHENKO

The pedagogical ideas of G. Vashchenko in the literary works of pedagogical and emigration periods are singled out. The pedagogical ideas concerning the formation of a creative personality are analyzed. The importance of educating a cheerful, vivid mood in a person is emphasized. The importance of the mother tongue in the upbringing of the younger generation is highlighted. The place and role of the teacher in the system of education of children is found out. The emphasis is placed on the meaning of using memories as a source of biographical research.The conducted research allows us to conclude that most of G. Vashchenko's pedagogical ideas are based on a deep knowledge of the foundations of folk pedagogy. The literary heritage of the teacher begins its counting from the end of the first decade of the twentieth century and is a valuable source for tracking, firstly, the creative interests of the young writer, and secondly, the democratic views of the writer on art, and thirdly, the author's deep research on the psychological aspects of the relationship of characters , fourthly, the necessary assertion of people in the belief in human progress, fifth, the emergence of the idea of liveliness of the spiritual wells of the people for the formation and development of personality, sixth, the origin of the intelligentsia her idea of selfless service to rural workers. Thus, in the literary works of G.Vaschenko, important pedagogical ideas, psychological observations, which received a powerful development in his pedagogical activity, were laid. These ideas in today's conditions are relevant and valuable for the development of the system of national education in Ukraine. The conducted research does not exhaust all aspects of pedagogical activity of G. Vaschenko and needs a holistic, systematic review and analysis of his pedagogical heritage.

Socrates’ Philosophy as a Divine Service in Plato’s Apology

The aim of the present paper is to discuss Socrates’ idea of philosophy asa service to the god. First the article investigates why Chaerephon wentto Delphi and why he asked Pythia the famous question concerningSocrates. The investigation provides a basis for distinguishing two majorperiods in his activity. The one preceding the Delphic oracle consists inconducting inquiries in a group of closest friends. The one following theDelphic oracle consist in addressing a much larger audience. An analysisof both periods suggests that the oracle from Delphi greatly affectedSocrates’ relations with other Athenians. While the present article dealsalso with the issue of Socrates’ daimonion, it hypothesizes that the voiceof daimonion and the voice of Pythia could be regarded as Apollo’sinterventions.

Ηοsion, eu dzen and dikaiousune in the Apology of Socrates and Euthyphro

While linguistic and analytical interpretations of the Euthyphro are usually circumscribed to two passages of the dialogue (Euthphr. 10 a 2–11 b 1), there is a general tendency to disregard the distinc­tion between the ὅσιον and the θεοφιλές. Consequently, one makes hardly any attempt to understand Plato’s criticism of religion. The concepts of θεραπεὶα τοῦ θεοῦ and ἀπεργασία provide us with the possibility of positively characterizing piety and distinguishing it from pure love affection. Contrary to the views of Schleiermacher and Gigon, but following Willamowitz, the present paper shows that the idea of service to the god consists in the doric harmony of Λόγος and Ἔργον, combined with various duties and services to the state. While this is precisely what justice is, the criticism of religion is not solely negative. Through justice, the ὅσιον becomes elevated to εὖ ζῆν and the highest ἀγαθόν in private as well as in public dimension. Without justice, one is left with the neccessity to flee to the other world and embrace the ὁμοούσια with the god, as shown in the Theaetus. If that is the meaning of Socrates’ death, then the idea resembles Kant’s postulate of the immortality of the soul, for in both cases one is faced with the neverending task of realizing the highest good. The question is whether it is possible to realize the δικαιοσύνη in a political life. Plato considers the issue in his the Republic, Sophist, Statesman and Laws. In the Statesman, justice is the primary goal of any political life that can only be attained through cultivting the divine relationship of harmoni­ous elements in the ὅσιον. It is here that Plato’s doctrine of the ὅσιον becomes completed.
