“…There are factors that should be emphasized because they have good influence on technological position of the research of the enterprise. When it comes to technological possibilities, the enterprise is able to repeat its processes (5) and obtains good synchronization between production operations (4). Both factors make the enterprise manufacture products of high quality (11).…”

“…In the production process, the enterprise uses SMED (6), which has some influence on short production cycle. From the point of view of the position on the market, the enterprise gives a reasonable product warranty (5). This is of the factors that can have an influence on good opinion of the customers about the enterprise (2) and its image (12).…”

“…What is worth noticing, the functioning of enterprises in the 21st century is based on the constant pursuit of improvement and constant development [3]. The changing and dynamic external environment of each enterprise enforces the need to strive for improvement by using increasingly newer and innovative technologies [4,5]. Therefore, the scientific and technical resources (machines, devices, human capital, knowledge, experience, etc.)…”

“…Broadening the scholarly, political, and societal discourse through extending the basis of the information, engaging actors, arguments, and timeframes have been pivotal to TA practice [30]. As knowledge-based policy advice is one of the cornerstones of TA, this diversification of methods and inclusion of perspectives are necessary; otherwise, a slanted perception of any respective thematic area would possibly lead to policy responses non-conforming with complex real-world situations.…”

Background: Quality or healthy aging refers to well-being in an older age. In the light of recent changes in the discourse on approaches on positive aging, we aimed to study the way "quality aging" is understood, expressed, and dealt with as a part of contemporary technology assessment (TA), since the nexus between demographic and technological changes has remained a staple topic in TA for at least three decades. Methods: A bottom-up qualitative content analysis was performed to identify the concepts of quality aging in the final reports of a sample of five recent national and international (predominantly participatory) TA projects (pTA). Despite being highly variable in contexts, methods, topics, and funding schemes, these projects display a common core of investigating desirable frameworks and futures for an aging society from the perspective of a citizen, stakeholder, and expert. We identified overarching patterns across different reports through clustering of codified texts and meta-analysis. Results: As a recurring pattern, we identified seven primary topical sectors, known as the building blocks of what may be attributed a TA perspective on quality aging: ethics,

“…Adressatinnen und Adressaten von TA-Studien Kastenhofer et al zufolge keine direkten Abhängigkeiten nach sich. Angesichts der dabei entstehenden Spannungsfelder plädiert Kollek für einen Ersatz (fiktiver) Neutralität durch "reflexive" Normativität, d. h. das ständige Bewusstmachen normativer Bezüge, unter denen TA durchgeführt wird, um die oft unbewussten Selektivitäten im TA-Prozess zu vermeiden (siehe auch das Konzept des "doing reflexivitiy" in Bauer und Kastenhofer 2019). Diese Selektivitäten können sowohl die Inhalte der Beratung als auch deren konzeptionelle Grundlage betreffen -Lucivero et al unterscheiden daher zwischen einer "in-normativity", die sich aus den Werten und Normen der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer am TA-Prozess und denen der durchführenden Praktikerinnen und Praktikern speist, und einer "meta-normativity", mit der die grundlegenden inhärenten Ziele der TA gemeint sind.…”
