It delivers new innovations not available in any other desktop GIS and advances visualization, analytics, image processing, and data management. ArcGIS Pro 2.0 is more tightly integrated with the rest of the ArcGIS platform as well. Now is a great time to upgrade. Highly Requested Workflows Esri asked ArcGIS Pro users to report their favorite workflows to its engineers, so in ArcGIS 2.0, those workflows are easier and more powerful. Now, users can perform more complete workflows, such as map creation and data management, solely in ArcGIS Pro instead of having to use ArcMap or ArcCatalog. Other workflow improvements include the ability to create more effective and meaningful maps with grids, which make it simpler to find locations on a map, and annotation, which lets users label features not represented in a feature class (such as a sea in a larger body of water or mountain ranges in imagery).

It should go without saying that the patience and mentorship of my advisor Dr. Amy Jo Coffey was instrumental not only in creating this body of work, but helping me find my path as a researcher as she truly polished a rough and rusty academic. I would also like to thank Dr. Gregory Webster for sitting on an idle committee for the better part of the past five years, as well as his assistance with some of the statistical questions in forging this work. I also need to acknowledge Dr. Richard Lutz and the Marketing Department of the Warrington College of Business Administration for taking me in as one of their own and creating a new professional path that I did not expect yet absolutely relish. Finally, to the many friends, coaches, and family for being a supporting element in my life, acting as a counterbalance to the sweat and stress involved with pursuing this path.

However, it does not provide a satisfactory explanation of user perspectives on the specialized but important domain of innovative technologies, instead focusing more on mature technologies. In particular, the success of innovative technologies requires attention to be focused on early adopters of the technology and enthusiasts, rather than general end-users. Therefore, user acceptance should be considered more important than usability and convenience.

Received: 17 July 2019; Accepted: 2 September 2019; Published: 6 September 2019 Abstract: This paper uncovers the different factors behind the high technological innovation performance of clustered firms. Moreover, we aim to investigate the necessary and sufficient conditions of factors to achieve innovative outcomes of clustered firms. This is done by analyzing the Spanish ceramic tile cluster and using a configurational comparative method, namely, fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results reveal the presence of equifinality, as there are diverse paths or combinations of factors that lead clustered firms to higher technological innovation performance. Additionally, early adoption of new technologies and a high absorptive capacity are included in most of the successful combinations of factors. Keywords: innovative performance; disruptive technological innovation; industrial clusters; technology adoption; absorptive capacity; fsQCA analysis 1. Introduction In recent decades, a growing amount of research has focused on innovation in territorial contexts like clusters and regions [1–3]. The intensive relationships in the local context, and the existence of different levels of resources at both systemic and individual firm levels [4], provide clustered firms with opportunities for innovation that may be difficult to benefit from in other different contexts.

  • Characteristics, Motivation and Usage Behaviour of Tablet Computer Early Adopters, Early Majority and Late Majority
    Characteristics, motivation and factors influencing tablet computer early adopters and early majority Name of student: Slavina Velinova; Programme: BA Advertising and Marketing Communications; Year of Study: 3; Mentored by: Dr Klairoong Hawa Phairor Abstract The integration of the popular innovation diffusion theory and the recent tablet computers adoption process has not yet been covered in an academic study. This research aims to provide insight into the characteristics and motivations of two tablet computer consumer segments among business students in UK: early adopters and early majority. It also investigates the factors influencing their behaviour in order to gain understanding how the chasm between these segments can be overcome. This article used interpretivism as a research paradigm and induction as a research approach. It utilised theoretical analysis of the characteristics, motivation and factors influencing tablet computer of early adopters and early majority. The research was designed as an exploratory case study with elements of descriptive research, whilst the data were collected through desk research and in-depth interviews. The findings show that early adopters carry the traits of 'experiencers' and 'innovators', whereas early majority possesses the traits of 'strivers' and 'achievers' according to VALS TM classification. Key words: early adoption of technology, tablet computers, early adopters, early majority, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, consumer psychographic types 0 Introduction The tablet computer market was created when Apple’s iPad was launched onto the mass market and quickly gained momentum and experienced fast growth.Recent research showed that tablet computer ownership among Internet users has increased to 13% in January 2012 (Mintel Oxygen 2012) and the number of Internet users who intend to purchase a tablet has risen to 24% in December 2011 (Mintel Oxygen 2011b), putting this fast growing market on a critical threshold between early adopters and early majority in the new technology diffusion process.

  • NSF 19-537 Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure - Project Summary Center for Open Science (COS)
    NSF 19-537 Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure - Project Summary Center for Open Science (COS) Overview The Center for Open Science (COS) proposes to undertake a Mid-scale RI-1 Implementation Project entitled, Expanding open infrastructure for robust, open, reproducible research, primarily in association with the SBE Directorate. Reproducibility is the ability to obtain independent evidence supporting scientific findings. Recent investigations suggest that reproducibility of published findings is lower than expected or desired, thus interfering with research progress. COS’s Open Science Framework (OSF) enables rigorous, reproducible science by providing collaboration, registration, and data management support across the entire research lifecycle. With support from NSF 19-537, OSF will become essential mainstream infrastructure supporting researchers’, institutions’, and federal agencies’ priorities to maximize return on investment in research. Adoption of open science behaviors via OSF will enable rigor and reproducibility in harnessing the data revolution, increase accessibility and inclusivity of research for all, stimulate discovery, and accelerate progress in science. Seeded with private philanthropy in 2012, the open-source OSF’s user base and key performance indicators have shown rapid, non-linear growth since inception. OSF is now a popular, robust, and important infrastructure for registering studies and analysis plans; managing and archiving research data, code, and materials; and accelerating open or controlled sharing of research outcomes and all supporting research contents. This mid-scale NSF research infrastructure grant will build on OSF’s success by meeting four major objectives: 1. Expand OSF functionality and workflows to meet the needs of a broad number of research disciplines and communities. 2. Integrate OSF with other established scholarly infrastructure to make search, discovery, transfer, and preservation of scholarly content and metadata more efficient.

  • Profiles of U.S. Early Adopter Consumer Segments Executive
    Plant-based and Cultivated Meat Diffusion of Innovation: Profiles of U.S. Early Adopter Consumer Segments Originally Published December 2019 Updated January 2020 Keri Szejda, PhD Senior Consumer Research Scientist The Good Food Institute Tessa Urbanovich, MS Consumer Research Assistant The Good Food Institute Executive Summary Promoters of either plant-based or cultivated meat will accelerate the purchase of these products with effective segmentation strategies, including targeting those individuals in a population who are most open to innovative products or ideas. The Diffusion of Innovation theory provides insight into the importance of these individuals, also referred to as early adopters. By reaching early adopters first, a product or idea will more quickly spread (or diffuse) through the general consumer population. This study examined the sociodemographic attributes and attitudes of early adopters of either plant-based or cultivated meat. Based on secondary analysis of data from a previous study (Bryant, Szejda, Parekh, Deshpande, & Tse, 2019), we found that these early adopters comprised between 18-33% of the study sample and were generally similar in sociodemographic characteristics to the overall population, including in their dietary habits. We begin by profiling those who report a high willingness to pay more for plant-based or cultivated meat (19% and 18%, respectively), and then next profile the larger percentage of consumers who expressed high purchase intent (33% for plant-based and 30% for cultivated). This second classification may also begin to capture the attitudes and sociodemographic characteristics of the early majority segment. Gaining insight into the early majority is advantageous, as this group’s traits begin to reflect those of the remaining general public.
