“…Marine S&T innovation is affected by four factors: input units, system structure, functional output, and external environment [83]. Referring to the existing literature [42,[84][85][86][87], we established an evaluation index (Table 1) based on the principles of specificity, objectivity, comprehensiveness, and data availability, and the evaluation indicators of marine S&T innovation have typically been divided into three categories: input indicators, output indicators, and environment indicators.…”

Promoting coupling coordination between marine scientific and technological (S&T) innovation and the high-quality development of the marine economy is an important measure to realizing sustainable marine development. Based on the complex adaptive systems theory, sustainable development theory and regional coordinated development theory, this study analyzed the coupling coordination and its influencing factors between marine S&T innovation and the high-quality development of the marine economy with China’s coastal provinces as study areas. The result showed that: (1) The coupling coordination fluctuated upward, changing from on the verge of dissonance to well-coordinated. (2) There was an agglomeration of high-level coupling coordination in central and eastern coastal provinces while the polarization between high-level and low-level coupling coordination was significant. (3) The improvement of coupling coordination mainly depended on the consumption expansion demand, multidimensional spatial integrated development, and industrial improvement demand. Regional heterogeneity of influencing factors existed in southern and northern coastal regions. (4) To improve coupling coordination, we should establish a demand-oriented mechanism for coordinated development between marine S&T innovation and the marine economy, and strengthen the multi-dimensional spatial planning and the guidance and guarantee functions of coastal governments, in particular to introduce and implement policies that suit local conditions. This research may supplement and improve the theoretical discussion and practical experience concerning sustainable marine development.

“…In an organisational context, many such effects are behavioural -entering the office of the chief executive officer is likely to result in more polite, if not deferential, behaviour by an employee. Such effects are situational/contingent and, to a significant extent, depend upon organisational cultures,climates and project/workplace atmosphere (Liu and Fellows, 2012). Incompatibility of organisational cultures/climates is likely to generate conflict due to (innocent) inappropriate behaviour, etc.…”

Citation: FELLOWS, R. and LIU, A.M.M., 2012. Managing organizational interfaces in engineering construction projects: addressing fragmentation and boundary issues across multiple interfaces. Construction Management and Economics, 30 (8) Introduction: Background and ContextFragmentation is a 'dirty word' in the construction sectors. It has been employed extensively in reports as a causal explanation of many of the ills of the industry, most of which relate to, alleged, poor performance (Latham, 1994;Egan, 1998; Construction Industry Review Committee, 2001). Fragmentation is defined as "A breaking or separation into fragments' where a fragment is 'a (comparatively) small detached portion of anything; A detached, isolated, or incomplete part; a (comparatively) small portion of anything" (OED, 2010). Such use of 'fragmentation' intentionally carries negative connotations; however, that is not necessarily the reality. By changing the word but maintaining the extant industrial structure, terms such as 'differentiated' or 'specialist' could be employed, each specialism constituting an important fragment; indeed, Adam Smith (Smith, 1789/1970) was an arch proponent of fragmentation in advocating division of labour to enhance productivity, as pursued in 'scientific management' (Taylor, 1911), -a path which construction, and most other sectors (including automotive and aerospace), have adopted with great enthusiasm.Perhaps the nub of the issues lies in the business relationship changes which stem from the industrial revolution -the transition from craft guilds' masters and journeymen trading with relatively few, known others to multitudes of transactions amongst persons largely unknown to each other. A direct result is the increase in the use and importance of contracts to govern relationships and enforcement of the terms of agreements.Structurally-based concerns regarding fragmentation are addressed by Lawrence and Lorsch (1967) in their treatise on differentiation and integration. Given that technologies are increasingly complicated and that effectiveness and efficiency considerations prompt commensurate differentiation / division of labour / specialisation, then the organisational / managerial imperative shifts to integration for the supply of goods and services to ultimate consumers. Hence, acknowledging and respecting the differentiation and the consequent independence of 'component' suppliers lie at the core of integrating those suppliers' contributions and securing their commitment to deliver the final output. Thus, the fragmentation criticism is not one relating to industrial structure primarily, but concerns how integration operates in the market-social context to provide goods and services to customersorganisational and individual behaviour being the core focus; as manifested in both neoclassical (e.g., Friedman, 1970) and new institutional/transaction cost economics (e.g., Coase, 1937;Williamson, 1985).Specialisation has caused differentiation and led to increasingly complex project organisational structures ...
