“…The in-depth interviews were based on job analysis [38] and critical incident technique [9,39,40]. The gathered results from interviews have been reviewed and re-analyzed by the TARGET sustainability expert panel group and the final results have been used for the development of the competence framework in the field of sustainable manufacturing.…”

“…In order to meet future sustainability requirements in manufacturing there is a constant pressure and the need for changes to university engineering curricula [1,2,6] and also on the development and implementation of new learning methods and content delivery [1,5,7,8]. As the concept of competence is highly associated with the ability to master real-life complex situations [9,40], competence-based education is now being embraced by enterprises and educators as a new standard for curriculum design, training and professional development [2,6,7,10,11,12,13].…”

In response to a growing need to provide engineers with knowledge and competences in the field of sustainable manufacturing, this paper will present the preliminary results of the ongoing research within the European FP7 Integrated Project TARGET on competence identification and development. The main objective of this paper is to present the developed competence framework in the field of sustainable manufacturing. The proposed framework can assist engineering education institutions to accommodate their curriculum and education programs so that graduating engineers will be able to function effectively in complex environments meeting future sustainability requirements and objectives in manufacturing. It can furthermore serve as a starting point for defining relevant building blocks for designing technology enhanced learning environments for rapid competence development.

“…The creation of innovations in an organisation requires that the innovativeness potential and creativity of the employees (teams) be transformed into activities that will yield tangible benefits for the organisation (Cerinsek and Dolinsek, 2009;Moultrie and Young, 2009). Hence, a company needs to have suitable capabilities, or abilities to create, adapt, develop and implement innovative ideas, solutions, technologies, products, etc., and to exhibit entrepreneurial behaviours and activities connected with a successful commercialisation of innovations.…”

The necessity to increase the level of companies' innovativeness and to support corporate entrepreneurship is imposed, among others, by the need of continuous improvement of companies' performance. Innovativeness of a company is frequently considered through the prism of innovation process taking place in it. However, it is necessary to place the phenomenon of innovativeness in a broader context including, among others, corporate entrepreneurship, organisational culture, creativity of a company, etc. The article makes an attempt to fill the research gap in terms of determination of the relationship between the level of entrepreneurship and the level of innovativeness in a company.

“…They found 12 innovations models that present a different degree of specified development and validation. Therefore, there is not one exclusive classification to group the different capabilities or characteristics that make up innovation [4], [7], [8], [9] and there is much debate on the instrument used in order to identify and validate the acquisition of innovation skills, which means a lack of knowledge on the efficiency of teaching and learning methods.…”

Abstract-This paper highlights a qualitative methodology to detect the most relevant behaviours and skills to be included in assessment innovation competency of higher education students. Innovation is a complex process that comprises several competencies, such as, perception of opportunities, ideas generation and evaluation, action plans, cooperation and risk. It is considered one of the most competitive advantage in determining the success or failure of a company in the global market. We used the INCODE-ICB-v6 questionnaire as the measurement instrument of innovation which measures the innovation construct with a series of 25 items, grouped into three categories: individual, teamwork and network. The items on our version of the questionnaire INCODE-ICB-v6 are in a different order with respect to the original questionnaire. We applied a qualitative explorative analysis via a distance-based affinity diagram, where the students can group the proposed items of the questionnaire. Our affinity diagramming process consists of two stages. First, the interviewed group the items in the category they think is best. Then, we represent items in a perceptual map using a non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS). MDS analyses were carried out with two databases, one for four categories model and second for up to ten categories model. The results of multidimensional scaling confirm the structure of these three components in both models, for four and up to ten categories.
