“…Pinchot (1984) introduced the term intrapreneurship and defined intrapreneurs as "Those who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind, within a business". Most scholars have investigated research questions how managers and employees could be inspired to behave entrepreneurially, to create innovations, to obtain profit and growth through these innovations and to foster the creation of new businesses within existing 424 organizational framework (Burgelman, 1983;Zahra 1993;Brazeal 1993;Bowman 1999;Sathe 2003;Rezk et al 2016).…”

Abstract. Re-industrialization enjoys a renaissance in Western economies due to the role of the industrial sector for innovation, productivity, and job creation. A very promising approach to bring back competitiveness in production seems to be the fusion of the virtual and the real world leading to smart manufacturing and logistics concepts. In Germany, the leading industrial country in the European Union this approach has been called "Industry 4.0" aiming to develop cyber-physical systems (CPS) and dynamic production networks in order to achieve flexible and open value chains in manufacturing of complex mass customization products in small series. Currently, manufacturing companies gaining experiences in production in networks and smart logistics and develop new organisational structures and business models which better benefit from the new technologies and which adapt faster to the rapidly changing network environments. The modern manufacturing models embrace modular and fractal approaches as well as network-orientation, flexibility and responsiveness. The paper investigates the relationship between networking, organizational development, structural frame conditions and sustainability in the context of Industry 4.0. The research is empirically validated by using data samples from a business reengineering project in an internationally operating high-tech manufacturing enterprise located in Estonia. The empiric analysis is based on semi-structured expert interviews and secondary data together with a case study approach.

“…Egypt science and technology system was built few decades ago as static and linear system that doesn't allow quick adaptation to the current dynamics (Rezk et al, 2016;Radwan, 2015). Some authors have indicated that the non-linear and dynamic national systems could facilitate the technological development and allow better market uptake of research results, as well as boosting product innovation capabilities (Quitzow, 2015;Samara, Georgiadis, & Bakouros, 2012).…”

In this review, we conduct an exploratory study to assess Egypt Science and Technology System by the utilization of the Delphi survey combined with "Electronic Town Meeting" protocol following a preliminary evaluation of research and innovation performance at the national level. The application of this protocol was directed toward a realization of national science and technology SWOT analysis. Within this analytical framework, we examined different components of Egypt Science and Technology System in addition to competencies, bottlenecks and opportunities with the aim of providing a concrete assessment view and draw useful directions that could be rapidly utilized in different settings. We recommend using this combined protocol in the different strategic planning settings and actions.

The main aim of the article is to identify the optimum measures of the innovativeness of providers of health tourism services. Two detailed objectives were set out: the identification of the measures of innovative activities and the identification of the measures of the effects of innovative activities implemented by respondents. The measurement covered two areas: the involvement in innovative activities and the effects of these activities. Two research hypotheses were verified: Hypothesis 1 -The optimum measure of the involvement of providers of health tourism services in innovative activities is a separate budget earmarked for the implementation of innovations; Hypothesis 2 -The optimum measure of the effects of innovations introduced is a higher number of commercial tourists using the services of a given enterprise. 438 providers of health tourism services in Poland took part in the research with using methods of a diagnostic survey and a telephone interview. An adequacy matrix was used to analyse the 15 innovation measures selected in an expert (Delphi) survey. As a result five optimum measures were determined, the most important of which was the elaboration of a strategy for introducing innovation and a higher number of tourists as the effect of innovative activities.
