TL;DR: This work identifies and discusses different aspects of secure and privacy-preserving cloud-based industrial cooperation, ranging from securing industrial devices and networks to secure storage and processing of industrial data in the cloud.
Abstract: Industrial cooperation promises to leverage the huge amounts of data generated by and collected in industrial deployments to realize valuable improvements such as increases in product quality and profit margins. Cloud computing with its adjustable resources is a prime candidate to serve as the technical foundation for industrial cooperation. However, cloud computing further exaggerates existing security and privacy concerns of industrial companies, leading them to refrain from participating in cloud-based industrial cooperation. To overcome these concerns and thus allow companies to benefit from its advantages, we identify and discuss different aspects of secure and privacy-preserving cloud-based industrial cooperation, ranging from securing industrial devices and networks to secure storage and processing of industrial data in the cloud. By discussing already usable and emerging technical approaches as well as identifying open research challenges, we contribute to realizing the vision of secure and privacy-preserving industrial cooperation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of machine learning foundations and development cycle, and examine how conceptual modeling can be applied to machine learning and propose a framework for incorporating conceptual modeling into data science projects.
Abstract: Both conceptual modeling and machine learning have long been recognized as important areas of research. With the increasing emphasis on digitizing and processing large amounts of data for business and other applications, it would be helpful to consider how these areas of research can complement each other. To understand how they can be paired, we provide an overview of machine learning foundations and development cycle. We then examine how conceptual modeling can be applied to machine learning and propose a framework for incorporating conceptual modeling into data science projects. The framework is illustrated by applying it to a healthcare application. For the inverse pairing, machine learning can impact conceptual modeling through text and rule mining, as well as knowledge graphs. The pairing of conceptual modeling and machine learning in this this way should help lay the foundations for future research.

TL;DR: This case study analyses the influence of different parameters configurations during the prototypes’ manufacturing stage, which has the largest influence on the environmental impact and proposes strategies to reduce the consumption of the impacting flows of model and support material as well as electrical energy consumption on four AM machines.
Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM), a constantly evolving field, shows an enormous potential to reduce the environmental impact of new products and, at the same time, it remains an essential tool for prototypes’ manufacturing. Thus, focusing on a sustainable Additive Manufacturing of prototypes and it is resulting reduction of resources consumption, during the early design stages, can also lead to improve the final impact of a new product. This case study analyses the influence of different parameters configurations during the prototypes’ manufacturing stage, which has the largest influence on the environmental impact. This paper aims to propose strategies to reduce the consumption of the impacting flows of model and support material as well as electrical energy consumption on four AM machines with their associated support removing technique. In addition, the use of topology optimisation as a design parameter to decrease these flows is analysed.

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.
