TL;DR: In this article, the current status and future perspective of sustainable UPM, the major research and technological gap between UPM and sustainability development, specific technical challenges for integrated IoT to UPM for sustainability goal are discussed and revealed to promote sustainable uPM.
Abstract: Ultra-precision manufacturing (UPM) is a promising manufacturing technology for fabricating micro-components and its production volume raises in the coming future due to a significant increase in the production volume for highly technological products nowadays. Therefore, UPM industries are accountable for executing sustainability practices to minimize negative environmental impacts from their manufacturing activities. However, sustainable UPM is difficult to execute practically up to now due to different aspects such as technology and knowledge gap. With a high speed of technology advancement nowadays, UPM industries enable to leverage this technological chance and employ the Internet of Things (IoT) technique to move UPM toward sustainability. Therefore, in this article, the current status and future perspective of sustainable UPM, the major research and technological gap between UPM and sustainability development, specific technical challenges for integrated IoT to UPM for sustainability goal are discussed and revealed to promote sustainable UPM. And consequently, a preliminary framework of IoT based UPM system with particular suggestions was firstly presented for facilitating sustainable UPM and acts as the reference to related industries and academia for further developing this novel technique in the future.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find empirical evidence to show the direct relationship between the introduction of industry 4.0 and the Lean process and to find the impact it has on organizational performance.
Abstract: Lean is a term that was first used in 1988 with reference to a production system. It is a highly acknowledged production method that focuses on cutting out waste, at the same time ensuring the same quality. An emerging field known as industry 4.0 has recently evolved, with the goal of incorporating current smart technologies into the industrial process. Due to the novel nature of the subject, very little evidence is there to suggest that there is a link between industry 4.0 and Lean production. The study aims to find empirical evidence to show the direct relationship between the introduction of industry 4.0 and Lean process and to find the impact it has on organizational performance. The research is based on data gathered in the form of a survey questionnaire. The measurement scale used for the questionnaire was a five-point Likert scale, the primary respondents of the questionnaires were production engineers, service engineers and sales representatives. The data was analyzed using IBM SPSS software and a correlation between industry 4.0 technologies and Lean manufacturing was obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revealed the hierarchy of technological, economic, political, institutional, social and ecological factors of economic growth, based on its type, and substantiated that in the conditions of modern trends of the world economic development, technological innovations become the dominant factor of the innovation type.
Abstract: Russian Abstract: В �?татье показано вли�?ние технологиче�?ких и ин�?титуциональных факторов на �?овременный �?кономиче�?кий ро�?т. English Abstract: The article reveals the hierarchy of technological, economic, political, institutional, social and ecological factors of economic growth, based on its type. The authors substantiated that in the conditions of modern trends of the world economic development, technological innovations become the dominant factor of the innovation type of economic growth. The role of economic, administrative and political factors, as well as the institutional conditions for initiating and stimulating the economic growth, which is confirmed by the macro-dynamics data of national economies and international ratings of global competetiveness of national economies created by Global Economic Forum, is argued. The analysis of the factors of innovation type of economic growth presented in the article made it possible to propose priority directions of government economic policy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors aim to develop an accounting curriculum with the Industry 4.0 approach, which can be used as input in the revision of the curriculum in the Public Finance Accounting Program and the Accounting Study Program planned to be implemented in 2020.
Abstract: This study aims to develop an accounting curriculum with the Industry 4.0 approach. The specific target expected from this study is to produce curriculum designs that can be used as input in the revision of the curriculum in the Public Finance Accounting Program and the Accounting Study Program planned to be implemented in 2020. While the long-term target of the results of this study is the availability of a curriculum that can accommodate market needs , so that graduates of Accounting and Public Financial Accounting Study Programs have competitive competence and knowledge. Specific and long-term goals can be achieved by conducting deep interviews with several industrial and banking companies to identify the needs of the industrial world for accounting graduates. From the results of the study it was identified that there was a shift in the role of accountants, where this shift in role caused a shift in hardskill and soft skills that must be owned by an accountant. In addition, accommodating changes that occur can use two approaches, namely by inserting topics in existing subjects, or by creating new courses.

TL;DR: Porter's concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities", or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage as discussed by the authors, has become an essential part of international business thinking, taking strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities.
Abstract: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE introduces a whole new way of understanding what a firm does. Porter's groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into 'activities', or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage. Now an essential part of international business thinking, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company's relative cost position. Porter's value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. That the phrases 'competitive advantage' and 'sustainable competitive advantage' have become commonplace is testimony to the power of Porter's ideas. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE has guided countless companies, business school students, and scholars in understanding the roots of competition. Porter's work captures the extraordinary complexity of competition in a way that makes strategy both concrete and actionable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation, which is based on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, including social and institutional entrepreneurship.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation. The framework builds on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, develops it by including social and institutional entrepreneurship, i.e. the application of the entrepreneurial approach towards meeting societal goals and towards changing market contexts, and relates it to sustainability innovation. The framework provides a reference for managers to introduce sustainability innovation and to pursue sustainable entrepreneurship. Methodologically, the paper develops an approach of qualitative measurement of sustainable entrepreneurship and how to assess the position of a company in a classification matrix. The degree of environmental or social responsibility orientation in the company is assessed on the basis of environmental and social goals and policies, the organization of environmental and social management in the company and the communication of environmental and social issues. The market impact of the company is measured on the basis of market share, sales growth and reactions of competitors. The paper finds conditions under which sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainability innovation emerge spontaneously. The research has implications for theory and practitioners in that it clarifies which firms are most likely under specific conditions to make moves towards sustainability innovation. The paper makes a contribution in showing that extant research needs to be expanded with regard to motivations for innovation and that earlier models of sustainable entrepreneurship need to be refined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis, defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms.
Abstract: Summary Since 1989, efforts to understand the nature of interfirm resource sharing in the form of industrial symbiosis and to replicate in a deliberate way what was largely self-organizing in Kalundborg, Denmark have followed many paths, some with much success and some with very little. This article provides a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis—defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms. It finds that “uncovering” existing symbioses has led to more sustainable industrial development than attempts to design and build eco-industrial parks incorporating physical exchanges. By examining 15 proposed projects brought to national and international attention by the U.S. President’s Council on Sustainable Development beginning in the early 1990s, and contrasting these with another 12 projects observed to share more elements of self-organization, recommendations are offered to stimulate the identification and uncovering of already existing “kernels” of symbiosis. In addition, policies and practices are suggested to identify early-stage precursors of potentially larger symbioses that can be nurtured and developed further. The article concludes that environmentally and economically desirable symbiotic exchanges are all around us and now we must shift our gaze to find and foster them.
