Researchers developed an app to enhance a static tourist map using NFC tags to provide additional location information. They tested the app's usability with participants and found that while users saw the benefit of extra information, the technology presented usability issues. The researchers concluded that further work is needed to improve the directions mode and interaction, and to leverage device capabilities and cloud technology to enhance the available information.

This document summarizes a PhD workshop presentation on exploring the adoption of social media marketing in hotel organizations. The presentation discusses the problem definition, purpose and research questions, methodology, and anticipated results. Specifically, the research aims to understand the process of adopting social media in hotels, identify steps in employee and organizational learning, and examine cultural and external factors that affect adoption. The methodology uses exploratory case studies of 15 Radisson Blu hotels across Europe through interviews with 24 marketing and hotel managers. The anticipated contribution is an increased understanding of how hotels adopt and implement social media.

This document summarizes two case studies conducted by NUMA:
1) NUMA helped the newspaper L'Equipe explore new ways to cover the 2014 World Cup by organizing a hackathon and bootcamp. This resulted in two new products being created.
2) NUMA ran a 6-month open innovation program called "Data Shaker" with French railway company SNCF to support entrepreneurs creating new mobility services using open data. This engaged multiple SNCF departments and led to ongoing collaborations between SNCF and external projects.

Final conference alp4 eu jan_2014 wiintech v1LeaKane
The WIINTECH project aimed to develop international cooperation between European clusters focused on green materials and clean technologies. It involved 8 clusters from 7 European countries working with over 2000 SMEs and 300 research institutions. The project conducted missions to countries like the US, India, and Brazil to foster partnerships around areas such as renewable energy and recycling. This resulted in agreements signed with clusters in countries including India, Brazil, and Japan. The project demonstrated the ability of European metaclusters to cooperate internationally but also faced challenges in fully involving SMEs and maintaining a unified vision among partners. Lessons learned suggest a need for more sustained collaboration between European clusters and shared offices abroad.

This document discusses the use of Project Management for Sustainable Development (PM4SD) as a tool for capacity building in sustainability projects and organizations. It provides an overview of PM4SD and its principles, as well as how it can be integrated into organizational culture. Three case studies are presented that demonstrate how PM4SD has been applied: 1) improving tourism infrastructure in Lebanon, 2) implementing sustainability indicators in Italy's Piedmont region, and 3) establishing a destination management organization in Bulgaria. Key PM4SD tools for capacity building discussed include stakeholder mapping, product-based planning, and communication planning.
