TL;DR: This research-in-progress paper aims to examine, identify and explain how silver surfers owned micro enterprises diffuse, adopt and use smartphones in United Kingdom (UK) and provides a conceptual framework exclusive to older business owners.
Abstract: In a global and knowledge-rich economy, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become critical for organisations. Smartphones have impacted society and organisations alike with varying adoption and use across age groups. Due to recent legislation in many countries, older adults are now working to a higher age, but appear to lag behind younger users in terms of adoption and use of novel technologies. Smartphones are also important for older adults with extended working lives they will need to keep abreast with the times. In this research-in-progress paper, we aim to examine, identify and explain how silver surfers owned micro enterprises diffuse, adopt and use smartphones in United Kingdom (UK). For this, a conceptual model based upon the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB) and Roger Everett’s Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory will be used. A combined qualitative and quantitative approach involving surveys and interviews will be employed. A unique contribution of this research is to examine the research aim within the context of SMEs owned by silver surfers, thereby providing a conceptual framework exclusive to older business owners. For industry, it will also provide an identification of factors specific to older users.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the interaction of participants in the innovation process, determining their actions at different stages of the process, barriers to the formation of stable socioeconomic ties and indicators that determine the effectiveness of such interaction.
Abstract: . In the context of global challenges, the issue of studying the interaction in innovation processes is especially relevant, because it is innovation that plays an important role in combating various types of challenges today. In turn, global challenges and the crisis are the impetus for innovative changes and shifts, innovation is the opposite of the crisis, because it is the innovative breakthrough that helps to overcome the crisis. The purpose of the article is analyzing the interaction of participants in the innovation process, determining their actions at different stages of the innovation process, barriers to the formation of stable socio-economic ties and indicators that determine the effectiveness of such interaction. For achievement this goal, the following methods were used: abstract and logical, system and synergetic, statistical, comparative, horizontal, vertical, tabular and graphical methods of information display. Results. The article identifies the types of interaction, analyzes the concept of innovation diffusion and actions of different actors for its implementation, analyzes the socio-economic interaction of participants in the innovation process, identifies their actions at different stages of the innovation process, barriers to stable socio-economic relations and indicators that determine the effectiveness of such interaction. Cybernetic, matrix and structural models of innovation process are analyzed. It is established that the innovation speed is greatly influenced by the state innovation policy, the existence of adequate information base, mechanisms of science and its interaction with production, forms of legislative decision-making on innovation, methods of information transfer, mechanisms. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of establishing effective interaction between participants in the innovation process by studying environments where the diffusion of innovations (relevant sites, social networks, research units and methodological departments of higher education institutions, research institutes, etc.), analysis of barriers to stable relationships between participants in innovation projects and existing models of the innovation process. Within the framework of further research it is planned to improve the system of indicators that determine the effectiveness of interaction during innovation processes, to determine the most key of them, to build a structural model of stable socio-economic interaction in the innovation diffuse network.

TL;DR: This paper explores the synthesis of development communication, diffusion, social marketing, and primary health care within the context of a public health communication model in India and Honduras and reveals the role of communication in changing health behavior in Third World settings.
Abstract: Development communication, particularly within the health sector, is relatively new and still shrouded in mystique. Many health planners and policy-makers in developing countries and elsewhere do not yet fully appreciate the role communication plays in primary health care interventions. Nevertheless, communication theory, embracing diffusion of innovations and social marketing, can make a significant contribution in improving health status. This paper explores, through an examination of the literature and the experience of a worldwide research and development project, the synthesis of development communication, diffusion, social marketing, and primary health care. It attempts to demonstrate the value of integrating these paradigms within the context of a public health communication model. Focusing on the use of radio and interpersonal communication, the paper describes model projects in India and Honduras and reveals through their example the role of communication in changing health behavior in Third World settings.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of sustainable development on social well-being is assessed to assess its objective and subjective factors, and the authors emphasize the importance of both the objective and the subjective factors.
Abstract: To assess the impact of sustainable development on social well- being, it is necessary to emphasize its objective and subjective factors The complex of objective factors of well-being of modern society, in all sectors of which highly productive production of tangible and intangible goods dominates, is organically connected with the innovative development of environmentally-friendly technologies, the international diffusion of innovations in the field of “green economy” Accordingly, the objective factors of well-being in the system of sustainable development include, firstly, reproductive ones, such as the availability of new technologies of the “green economy” and the frequency of their replacement, the productivity of resource-saving industries, the inter-sectoral expansion of the replacement of non-renewable resources, and government support for environmental entrepreneurship Secondly, here we include the prevailing mechanisms of factor distribution and redistribution of income – the formation of natural and intellectual rents, the pricing of natural resources and the return on investment in the production of the “green economy” Finally, thirdly, the important objective factors of social well-being in the system of sustainable development are those institutional norms that determine both production and environmental processes in the national economy The complex result of these processes development is the environmental well-being
TL;DR: The definitions of innovation have been transformed a lot over time since Schumpeter introduced his concept as discussed by the authors and even recently one of the most prestigious innovation management references, the Oslo Manual have changed its concept.
Abstract: The definitions of innovation have been transformed a lot over time since Schumpeter introduced his concept. Even recently one of the most prestigious innovation management references, the Oslo Manual have changed its concept. One rarely discussed aspect of the concept of innovation is that most of the definitions are referring to the business sector; only a few of them are referring to any kinds of organizations, including non-profit and governmental organizations. Any kind of organization must innovate sooner or later; therefore they have to learn how to manage innovation effectively and efficiently. That is why the broad type of definitions is recommended, involving not only for-profit organizations but non-profit and governmental organizations as well.
