LeVine Submitted to the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management on May 8, 2003, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Masters of Science. Abstract This thesis probes the causal elements of product platform strategies and the effects of platform strategy on a firm. Platform strategies may be driven by internal or external forces, and the lifecycle of a firm and of a platform strategy evolve over time in response to both the needs of the firm and the changes in the external environment. This external environment may consist of a “platform ecology,” in which the platform strategies of firms affect one another. -

The Impact of Sustainability Trends on Housing Design Identity of Arab Cities
HBRC Journal (2013) xxx, xxx–xxx Housing and Building National Research Center HBRC Journal http://ees.elsevier.com/hbrcj FULL LENGTH ARTICLE The impact of sustainability trends on housing design identity of Arab cities Tarek Abdelsalam a,*, Ghada Mohamed Rihan b a Dept. of Architecture, University of Modern Sciences & Arts (MSA), 6th of October City, Egypt b Dept. of Architecture, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt Received 26 April 2012; accepted 2 December 2012 KEYWORDS Abstract Previous researches and investigations on the area of green cities and sustainable archi- tecture lack the study and analysis of the impact of sustainability principles applications on the city Green cities image. At this point, a critical question is raised; to what extent the architectural identity of the city Architectural identity could be influenced by the adoption of the different sustainability trends? This question represents Sustainable design the main research question that the paper will address. The adopted sustainability trends vary in Housing design their forms and contents. Some trends employed sustainability principles inspired from the vernac- ular architecture, which not only give a tested and reliable model, but also enhances socio-cultural and economic values of the local community. Another trends employed sustainability principles that are based on the most modern and advanced technology which expresses the culture of glob- alization. While a third trend integrates both of the two trends to introduce a contemporary inter- pretation of the vernacular thought within the framework of modern advancements trying to bridge the gap between the local and the global. From this point of view, this paper focuses on two key issues; firstly: study and analysis of the mentioned sustainability trends in housing design, secondly: assessing and analyzing the impact of these trends on shaping the identity of the Arab city. -

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR At Global Footprint Network we see ourselves as planetary accountants, using the Ecological Footprint to keep track of how much nature we have, how much we use, and who uses what. We believe monitoring our ecological assets is essential for sustainable development, particularly in today’s world, where humankind is in overshoot, using 30 percent more resources in a year than the planet can renew. While our data offers some bad news, it is also a great source of hope, providing people with the information necessary to drive action toward positive change. We see this over and over as we work in Europe, Switzerland, Africa, India, China, Japan, Belgium, Ecuador, France, Canada, and Australia, and with businesses, researchers, scientists, and cities all over the world. The more they know about their resource base – what they have and how they use it – the more confident they are about their future and their ability to thrive in a time of rapid change. Throughout this report you will see bits of bad news juxtaposed against promising new projects, collaborations, and progress being made by people just like you and me who have chosen to engage. Whether you are reading about the growing leadership of our 80+ partner organizations, like WWF’s decision to organize all “ While our data offers some bad its activities around the goal of one-planet living, or you are reading about efforts being made to get the nation with the largest Footprint news, it is also a great source of hope, in the world, the United Arab Emirates, to adopt the Ecological providing people with the information Footprint as an indicator, in the following pages you will find hope. -
Ecology and Design: Frameworks for Learning
Appendix [S]ustainable design is not limited to simply trying to be more efficient. A new approach offers a clear alternative: an ecologically intelligent framework in which the safe, regenerative productivity of nature provides models for wholly positive human designs...wecanbegin to redesign the very foundations of architecture and industry, creating systems that purify air, land, and water; use current solar income and generate no toxic waste; and use only safe, healthful, regenerative materials. The benefits would enhance all life. —William A.
