“…Many new ideas for product development in established companies are generated by engineers working in design workplaces. However, there is a gap between the engineers and the managers who make opportunity recognition [17]. Figures 3 and 4 clearly show a relationship between training process and the opportunity recognition during the training process started by the center.…”

“…However, the insights are waiting for being stumbled across by a research manager in an established company. Because the technologists have not enough experiences to evaluate the business opportunities [17]. One method to improve the training process is that the cooperation between the training process and the management activities of companies should be strengthened.…”

“…From view of innovation management, a typical innovation process includes opportunity search, opportunity recognition, opportunity evaluation and implementation [17][18][19]. In step 4 engineers attending training classes must identify an inventive problem or a project which is identical to target of opportunity search of the typical innovation process.…”

Many design engineers in cross-domain industries have attended training classes of TRIZ to improve their innovative abilities in China. Most of them are successful, but others are not. So the latest target of the trainers is to improve the training process used now in industry in China and to make the engineers to understand the basic principles of TRIZ better. Based on the mass-engineer-oriented training model (MEOTM) and mechanical engineers' design cases, a relationship between managing activities about the opportunities for innovation and the training process is set up. It is shown that the inventive problems come first from opportunity searching for engineers. A training and gate system for evaluation is developed to involve the managing activities of the companies in the training process. Then comparison between the general analogous process and the application of TRIZ is made, which shows the advantages and depth principles of TRIZ for the engineers to apply them confidently. Lastly a new process is formed in which opportunity searching, engineers training, inventive problems identifying and solving,and three redesign paths are connected seamlessly. The research proposes an opportunity-driven redesign path that cooperates the training and opportunity searching, which will be applied in future training classes to make more and more engineers to follow.

“…In this regard, the OECD estimates that infrastructure development in the business-as-usual approach will cause the unsustainable rise in both energy demand (85%) and water consumption (55%) resulting in a potential shortage of global energy and water supply [45]. Furthermore, financial gap for the necessary development [46], global population growth [47], resource scarcity [48], and climate change [49] will require a paradigm shift towards consequent development of sustainable infrastructure [10]. To this end, alternative financial models and mobilizing domestic resources are required to support sustainable infrastructure development [50,51].…”

This study investigates the causal relationship between public investment and sovereign debt (i.e., external and domestic public debt) with respect to the limits of public-debt sustainability for four countries with the highest GDP (i.e., the United States, China, Japan, Germany) during the period of 2000–2015. In summary, this study establishes quantitative evidence based on empirical findings to support the claim that sovereign debt is harmful to the financing of public infrastructure if it breaches certain thresholds, as proposed in this study, and according to the literature. By this approach, the findings enable us to make recommendations about the need for mobilizing domestic resources and innovating new financial models to promote sustainable development within the limits of sustainable public debt. In short, this paper concludes that performing a project for sustainable development by implementing unsustainable financing models will always end up with unsustainable economic outcomes.
