This book is about broadening the scope of construction organizations and products- how local commercialization and development of innovation translates across international markets. It presents a framework that describes significant areas of the innovation decision process. To develop the framework, the authors examined six subjects related to international commercialization: 1. Previously developed local and international commercialization models 2. Barriers to commercialization 3. Critical stakeholders, actions, and decisions 4. Characteristics of innovations that are suitable for international use 5. Characteristics of foreign markets that are ideal for adopting such innovations 6. Strategies to overcome these barriers. Based on these six subject areas, the authors present literature review on international innovation commercialization and then test the framework using a case-based approach of one structural product, Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). SIPs has been successfully developed and implemented in the United States and is being considered for commercial use in Saudi Arabia. The SIPs product is particularly appropriate because of its innovative nature and influence on the structure of residential buildings. 410 0$aHousing innovations collection.$x2376-4996 606 $aConstruction industry$xTechnological innovations 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aBusiness planning 608 $aLibros electronicos. 610 $aBarriers to Commercialization 610 $aCommercialization Models 610 $aConstruction Innovation 610 $aDiffusion 610 $aInnovation Adoption 610 $aInternational Commercialization 610 $aResidential Construction 610 $aRisk Tolerance 610 $aSaudi Arabia 610 $aStructural Insulated Panels (SIPs) 610 $aSupply Chain 610 $aUnited States 615 0$aConstruction industry$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 0$aBusiness planning. 676 $a338.47624 700 $aAlbassami$b Ali.$0901865 702 $aMcCoy$b Andrew P. 801 0$bFINmELB 801 1$bFINmELB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460948003321 996 $aA business framework for international commercialization of innovative construction products$92015860 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02599nam 2200361 450 001 9910644038003321 005 20230530230157.0 010 $a1-80008-043-3 035 $a(CKB)26098247600041 035 $a(NjHacI)9926098247600041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9926098247600041 100 $a20230530d2023 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aTeaching India-Pakistan relations $eteachers' attitudes, practices and agency /$fKusha Anand 210 1$aLondon :$cUCL Press,$d[2023] 210 4$dİ2023 215 $a1 online resource (ix, 177 pages) 311 $a9781800080447 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 330 $aThe rivalry between India and Pakistan began on British withdrawal from the British Indian Empire in 1947, and with the sudden partition of India immediately afterwards. It has proven remarkably resilient. While the countries share a long history and have considerable social-cultural affinity, relations since Partition have been marked by three wars, constant border skirmishes and a deep distrust that permeates both societies. In each, teaching about those relations is weighted with political and cultural significance, and research shows that curriculums have been used to shape the mindset of new generations with regard to their neighbouring state. This book explores the attitudes and pedagogical decision-making of teachers in India and Pakistan when teaching India-Pakistan relations. Situating teachers in the context of reformed textbooks and curriculums in both countries that explicitly advocate critical thinking and social cohesion, Kusha Anand explores how far teachers have enacted these changes in their classrooms. Based on data collected from teachers via semi-structured interviews and classroom observations in India and Pakistan she argues that, despite whole-nation policies and texts, teaching of India-Pakistan relations is dependent on the socio-economic status of schools. While there is progress towards the stated goals, teachers in both countries face pressures from the interests of school and state, and often miss opportunities to engage with multiple perspectives and stereotypes in their classrooms. 607 $aIndia$xForeign relations$zPakistan 676 $a327.5405491 700 $aAnand$b Kusha$01349019 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910644038003321 996 $aTeaching India-Pakistan Relations$93362754 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02638nam 2200553 450 001 9910786756003321 005 20230803035334.0 010 $a1-4438-6571-0 035 $a(CKB)3710000000218152 035 $a(EBL)1765513 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001412973 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11796248 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001412973 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11416163 035 $a(PQKB)10880032 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1765513 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1765513 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10909469 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL636955 035 $a(OCoLC)887508068 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000218152 100 $a20140828h20132013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMusic and technologies /$feditor, Darius Kucinskas ; associate editor, Stephen Davismoon 210 1$aNewcastle upon Tyne, England :$cCambridge Scholars Publishing,$d2013. 210 4$dİ2013 215 $a1 online resource (152 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4438-4213-3 327 $aTABLE OF CONTENTS; PREFACE; CHAPTER ONE - TOWARD A COMPUTATIONAL THEORY OF THE COGNITIVE RELEVANCE OF MUSICAL SIMILARITIES AND REPETITIONS; CHAPTER TWO - LIVECELL; CHAPTER THREE - SUBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT OF THAI TRADITIONAL MUSIC SCALES; CHAPTER FOUR - THE FUTURE IN THE 1960's; CHAPTER FIVE - TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL TO ENHANCE SIGHT SINGING EDUCATION; CHAPTER SIX - ""FROZEN MUSIC""; CHAPTER SEVEN - TESTING COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR RHYTHMIC ANALYSIS OF A MUSICAL SCORE; CHAPTER EIGHT - THE MODELLING OF FACTORS FOR THE GENERATION OF TONAL HIERARCHIES 330 $aBased on the conference held in Kaunas, Lithuania, 2011, Music and Technologies aims to augment discussion within the field of interdisciplinary music research developed currently at such important forums as the CIM and the ISMIR.
