“…In the literature, a number of shortcomings are listed of data collection in organisations by means of questionnaires. [33,48] Such data are not completely objective, as the respondent decides what exactly constitutes an innovation. Also, indicators from surveys sometimes suffer from estimated-answer bias and low response rates.…”

Objective: Innovation is an important driver for improving the quality of health care, yet a tension exists between innovation and providing cost-effective health care. To develop strategies that promote innovation, parameters are needed that are indicative of innovation. However, no recognised indicators of innovation in radiotherapy are currently available. The aim of this study is to fill that gap by providing a framework for measuring innovation. This should facilitate future multi-centric studies on strategies aimed at promoting innovation in radiotherapy. Methods: We applied the Delphi method in four rounds. The chairpersons of all Dutch radiotherapy departments were asked to suggest indicators. The resulting inventory was assessed by a number of Dutch radiation oncologists, medical physicists and managers. After implementig a cut-off score on suitability and measurability, we asked Dutch professors on innovation to assess the remaining indicators. Finally, the chairpersons reached consensus. Results: On the basis of the Delphi study, we derived 13 indicators in four categories, more specific product innovation, technology innovation, market innovation and organisational innovation, for measuring both incremental and radical innovations in radiotherapy; these indicators are also suitable for measuring the generation and adoption of innovations. Conclusions: We were successful in reaching consensus amongst the experts on indicators that measure innovations in radiotherapy. The developed tool will be used to investigate the relation between innovation and possible factors inhibiting or stimulating successful innovation and between the level of innovation and its effects.

Abstract:The aim of this study is to investigate the current status and feasibility of achieving Level 2 BIM (building information modeling) usage that is to be made mandatory by the UK government on its projects by the year 2016. This study assesses the level at which organizational and practitioner knowledge of BIM is currently positioned. The UK government, being the largest public stakeholder client, has realized the benefits and advantages of BIM when used in procuring projects across their lifecycle in the built environment. A critical review of the BIM literature was carried out and the evidence base was created in relation to government targets for 2016. At the current stage, Level 2 BIM adoption is achievable by 2016 for large construction firms but not for SMEs (small medium enterprise). Also, from evidence in this study, the technology needs to be properly tailored to meet SME variables if Level 2 status is to be achieved for the entire industry.

“…O gasto em P&D é o mais tradicional indicador de insumo de inovação, ou seja, é uma métrica utilizada para avaliar o esforço na etapa input. Esta métrica é altamente utilizada pela literatura (Tidd, 2001;Motohashi, 1998;Li & Atuahene-Gima, 2001;Walker et al, 2002;Koschatzky, 1999). Já o número de patentes é uma métrica de resultado, ou seja, utilizada para avaliar o esforço na etapa output.…”

RESUMOA captação de recursos para projetos inovadores é assunto relevante e com características peculiares já que esses tendem a terem altos níveis de intangibilidade, difícil apropriação e elevada assimetria informacional que acabam por transferir altos riscos e custos para as organizações. Nesse caminho, o presente trabalho avaliou a existência de relações entre variáveis de estrutura de capital e de inovação tecnológica no ambiente brasileiro, a partir de premissas do modelo linear de inovação. O universo da pesquisa correspondeu às empresas brasileiras de capital aberto dos ramos de Tecnologia da Informação, Químico, Telecomunicações e de Bens Industriais. Diferentes procedimentos estatísticos foram aplicados, a exemplo da análise de regressão linear múltipla e o teste não-paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis. Para a variável input, foram encontradas correlações significativas entre os gastos em P&D com capacidade de pagamentos, custo de capital e investimento em subsidiárias. Em relação às variáveis output, não foi possível verificar relação entre inovação e estrutura de capital. A avaliação conjunta dos resultados demonstra que parece haver uma ligação direta entre estrutura de capital e input de inovação ligado a esforços financeiros, mas que o output de inovação, a priori, ou não possui a mesma força na relação com os indicadores de estrutura de capital, ou apresentam uma relação mais tênue. Os diferentes resultados demonstram que o modelo linear serve como uma simplificação do mundo real que possibilita avaliações quantitativas parciais, mas que modelos interativos parecem ser mais coerentes ao não vincular linearmente esforço em pesquisa com resultados de processos de inovação.
