  • Design Piracy: the Extensive Impact of a Fashion Knockoff
    On the Monetary Impact of Fashion Design Piracy Gil Appel Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California [email protected] Barak Libai Arison School of Business, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya [email protected] Eitan Muller Stern School of Business, New York University Arison School of Business, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya [email protected] July 2017 The authors would like to thank Roland Rust, Senior Editor and reviewers, On Amir, Michael Haenlein, Liraz Lasry, Irit Nitzan, Raphael Thomadsen, the participants of the Marketing Science and EMAC conferences and the participants of the seminars of the business schools at University of California at Davis, the University of California at San Diego, and Stanford University for a number of helpful comments and suggestions. On the Monetary Impact of Fashion Design Piracy Abstract Whether to legally protect original fashion designs against design piracy (“knockoffs”) is an ongoing debate among legislators, industry groups, and legal academic circles, yet to-date this discussion has not utilized marketing knowledge and formal approaches. We combine data collected on the growth of fashion items, price markups, and industry statistics, to create a formal analysis of the essential questions in the base of the debate. We distinguish between three effects: Acceleration, whereby the presence of a pirated design increases the awareness of the design, and thus might have a positive effect on the growth of the original; Substitution, which represents the loss of sales due to consumers who would have purchased the original design, yet instead buy the knockoff; and the loss due to Overexposure of the design that follows the loss of uniqueness due to the design becoming too popular, causing some consumer not to adopt the design or stop using it.

  • CAD Usage in Modern Engineering and Effects on the Design Process
    CAD Usage in Modern Engineering and Effects on the Design Process A Research Paper submitted to the Department of Engineering and Society Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia • Charlottesville, Virginia In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science, School of Engineering Pascale Starosta Spring, 2021 On my honor as a University Student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this assignment as defined by the Honor Guidelines for Thesis-Related Assignments 5/11/2021 Signature __________________________________________ Date __________ Pascale Starosta Approved __________________________________________ Date __________ Sean Ferguson, Department of Engineering and Society CAD Usage in Modern Engineering and Effects on the Design Process Computer-aided design (CAD) is widely used by engineers in the design process as companies transition from physical modeling and designing to an entirely virtual environment. Interacting with computers instead of physical models forces engineers to change their critical thinking skills and learn new techniques for designing products. To successfully use CAD programs, engineering education programs must also adapt in order to prepare students for the working world as it transitions to primarily computer design work. These adjustments over time, as CAD becomes the dominant method for designing in the engineering field, ultimately have effects on the products engineers are creating and how they are brainstorming and moving through the design process. Studies and surveys can be conducted on current engineering students as well as professional engineers to determine how they interact with CAD differently from physical models, and how computer software can be improved to make the design process more intuitive and efficient.

  • Information Scaffolding: Application to Technical Animation by Catherine
    Information Scaffolding: Application to Technical Animation By Catherine Claire Newman a dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in ENGINEERING – MECHANICAL ENGINEERING in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in Charge: Professor Alice Agogino, Chair Professor Dennis K Lieu Professor Michael Buckland FALL, 2010 Information Scaffolding: Application to Technical Animation Copyright © 2010 Catherine Newman i if you can help someone turn information into knowledge, if you can help them make sense of the world, you win. --- john battelle ii Abstract Information Scaffolding: Application to Technical Animation by Catherine C. Newman Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Alice Agogino, Chair Information Scaffolding is a user-centered approach to information design; a method devised to aid “everyday” authors in information composition. Information Scaffolding places a premium on audience-centered documents by emphasizing the information needs and motivations of a multimedia document's intended audience. The aim of this method is to structure information in such a way that an intended audience can gain a fuller understanding of the information presented and is able to incorporate knowledge for future use. Information Scaffolding looks to strengthen the quality of a document’s impact both on the individual and on the broader, ongoing disciplinary discussion, by better couching a document’s contents in a manner relevant to the user. Thus far, instructional research design has presented varying suggested guidelines for the design of multimedia instructional materials (technical animations, dynamic computer simulations, etc.), primarily do’s and don’ts.

  • Change Orders Ordeal: the Output of Project Disintegration
    International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2012 Change Orders Ordeal: The Output of Project Disintegration Roberto Soares, Ph.D., D.Sc., AIC, PE Assistant Professor College of Computing, Engineering and Construction University of North Florida Jacksonville, Florida United States of America Abstract Change orders are one of the most controversial issues in construction contracts and require successful negotiations to avoid claims and possible litigation. Contractors, owners and architects behave differently when dealing with change orders. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that change orders are the natural result of the disintegration of design and construction, which started in the US in 1893 with a Congressional Act formally separating the design and construction phases of a capital project .Delivery methods such as Design-Build (DB) and Construction Management at Risk (CMR), which are designed to mend the missing integration of design and construction and, consequently, eliminate the existence of change order conflict are proposed to recover the level of integration that existed at the time of the master builder. Key words: change orders, project integration, design-build, delivery methods 1. Introduction Change orders in construction are one of the most controversial issues to manage and a challenge to project management to satisfactorily resolve any change in order to avoid claims. Any construction contract is signed under the principle of “good faith,” which means that the parties will trust each other to perform according to the contract and that the contract is fair with no intention of taking advantage of the parties during the life of the contract.
