Comparing Business and Household Sector Innovation in Consumer Products: Find...Rob Blaauboer
This document summarizes a study that surveyed over 1,000 UK consumers to measure consumer innovation in developing and modifying consumer products. The study found that 6.1% of UK consumers, representing nearly 3 million individuals, engaged in consumer product innovation in the prior three years. The aggregate annual expenditures by consumers on product development were estimated to be over 1.4 times larger than annual consumer product R&D expenditures by all UK firms combined. Consumer innovators often develop small innovations that complement producer innovations. They rarely protect their innovations via intellectual property and 17% diffuse their innovations to others. The results suggest that official innovation statistics do not fully capture this activity and that firms could benefit from identifying consumer-developed prototypes.
This paper examines the relationship between critical reflection in teaching candidate blogs (bPortfolios) and scores on the Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA). The study found that blogging portfolios predicted higher scores on the analysis task of the edTPA. Most blog posts displayed low levels of reflection. The paper concludes that professional programs should use blogging portfolios to enhance reflective practice and that more research is needed on tools to promote reflection and on the edTPA assessment.
This document introduces several new connected consumer solutions from NETGEAR, including wireless routers, modems, a home media server, and digital entertainers. These products allow sharing of internet access and media anywhere in the home or remotely using various wireless and wired connectivity options. The solutions aim to address emerging lifestyles focused on mobility and access to online content on any device from any location.
The budget aims to stimulate growth while providing protection from global worries. Key measures include increased funding for infrastructure projects like roads and housing, tax cuts for individuals and cars/TVs, and subsidies for farmers, education loans, and MSMEs. However, some items like cigarettes, gold, and services will cost more. The stock market declined sharply due to the budget but it aims to boost rural jobs and the economy overall.
This document outlines a 4 stage plan to create an online platform connecting fashion retail stores and customers. The platform would allow stores to promote their products to potential customers and help customers find stores and products. It would solve problems around discovering new stores, their inventory, and connecting with like-minded shoppers. The initial stage focuses on building easy-to-use infrastructure. Later stages aim to attract users, then stores, and continue adding value through proximity search, recommendations, reviews, and community features.
This interim budget presented by Mr. Pranab Mukherjee aimed to continue commitments while facing a global economic meltdown. Key points include increasing subsidies for farmers, food, fertilizers and fuel. Defense spending saw a 31% increase. No changes were made to taxes. The railway budget focused on reducing some passenger fares and starting new train routes, with plans to improve catering services due to complaints. Overall the budget prioritized continuing support for key sectors but was seen as below public expectations due to difficult economic conditions.

Business Model Innovation for Cultural HeritageRob Blaauboer
This document provides an overview and analysis of business model innovation opportunities for cultural heritage institutions in the digital age. It discusses how digitizing collections can create economic and social value if content is made widely accessible. It presents a model of four "distribution rings" that represent different levels of access cultural works can have, from physical access onsite to full online access with reuse rights granted. The document also surveys recent digital initiatives cultural institutions have taken to engage users and make collections more interactive and social online. The goal is to help institutions understand challenges around digital strategies and services to inform their decision-making.
Amazon started as an online bookstore but has expanded into many other product areas like media, consumer electronics, and cloud computing.
