“…The research undertaken in this study was exploratory in nature [26,27] and follows an inductive approach using a qualitative longitudinal research design [28,29]. The goal of such an approach is to expand and build theories rather than perform statistical analysis to test a certain hypothesis [30].…”

An Assessment of Airport Sustainability, Part 2—Energy Management at Copenhagen Airport

2018

Airports play a critical role in the air transport value chain. Each air transport value chain stakeholder requires energy to conduct their operations. Airports are extremely energy intensive. Greenhouse gases are a by-product from energy generation and usage. Consequently, airports are increasingly trying to sustainably manage their energy requirements as part of their environmental policies and strategies. This study used an exploratory qualitative and quantitative case study research approach to empirically examine Copenhagen Airport, Scandinavia's major air traffic hub, sustainable airport energy management practices and energy-saving initiatives. For Copenhagen Airport, the most significant environmental impact factors occurring from energy usage are the CO 2 emissions arising from both the air side and land side operations. Considering this, the airport has identified many ways to manage and mitigate the environmental impact from energy consumption on both the air and land side operations. Importantly, the application of technological solutions, systems and process enhancements and collaboration with key stakeholders has contributed to the airport's success in mitigating the environmental impact from energy usage at the airport whilst at the same time achieving energy savings.

“…The study therefore used secondary data. The three principles of data collection as suggested by Yin [26,30] were followed: the use of multiple sources of case evidence, creation of a database on the subject, and the establishment of a chain of evidence.…”

“…Chegutu's economic development in a real life context (Farquhar, 2012;Eisenhardt, 1989;Robson, 2002;Yin, 2003). The main advantage realised by adopting a case-based research was concomitant with its ability to facilitate triangulation (Gray, 2013;Mason, 2002) i.e.…”

The local economic development processes in low-income countries: The case of the metropolis of Chegutu in Zimbabwe

et al. 2015

Local authorities are widely regarded as catalysts accelerating localised processes of economic development in industrialised countries but in low-income countries they are perceived as dysfunctional, inefficient and ineffective in meeting and addressing societal demands. This abstract view is however, not grounded in empirical research. As such, utilising the case of the metropolis of Chegutu a survey was designed to empirically explicate the economic processes militating its economic development. The findings are useful to policy-makers, local government authorities and management scholars. The study's unique contribution lies in its examination of the processes of local economic development in a low-income country.

“…The basis for designing the study with multiple bio-entrepreneurs was to achieve external validity using replication logic. Pattern matching in case-oriented studies is seen as the most appropriate technique for case analysis (Farquhar, 2012;Yin, 2009). Data collected from the participants was transcribed and sent back for them to confirm whether it was an accurate representation of their account of events.…”

In the modern healthcare and medical sectors corporate bio-pharmaceutical firms continue to scale down their in-house research and development (R&D) activities in favour of outsourcing the services to bio-tech ventures. These small but, entrepreneurial research-oriented organisations have increased dramatically. They are predominantly owned by bio-entrepreneurs who are extensively experienced scientists. In the science-based industry they operate in, innovation "ecosystems" consisting of global business and social networks are a common feature. As such, they have to consistently exploit them to complement the knowledge gaps in their enterprises. In that context, the paper sets out to investigate five bio-entrepreneurs currently active in biotechnology within the East Midlands region in England. It particularly examines the role performed by their prior-learning and their cumulative science experiences in recognising, assimilating and productively applying science-related knowledge acquired in their innovation "ecosystems".
