“…In other words, not necessarily the investments into innovative processes will produce a service, a product, or knowledge that will add to the company's value. Johannessen et al (2001), in their work dedicated to studying measures and metrics of innovation management, identify six ways of innovating in the workplace. They are to create new products or new services, find new production or organization methods, entering or creating new markets, and finding new supply sources.…”

The workforce’s competency defines the efficiency of production in the country and, therefore, the welfare of the population. Higher education institutions play a considerable role in this as they prepare the workforce for the organizations in the country. Designing a high-quality workforce requires universities to keep up with the new technologies and innovations in higher education. Thus, managing innovation is the highest priority for higher education institutions. The present article aims to investigate the perceptions developed among the teaching personnel of higher education institutions, which will serve as an evaluator of innovation management efficiency. The research method has been adapted to fit the research problem and goals. The limitations of the research are that it is limited to several universities located in one city and may not fully reflect the situation in other cities. To fulfill this aim, an expert interview has been prepared, which assesses the perception and attitude towards innovations and innovation management efficiency. The analysis incorporated answers of 20 respondents employed at higher education institutions. The expert interview answers have been categorized and synthesized to reveal the hidden patterns and prepare practical recommendations for policymakers and future researchers. The analysis findings are that the teaching personnel has sufficient knowledge of the innovations in the educational sphere. Moreover, they are willing to engage in innovative processes by creating or using existing solutions. However, the study reveals funding-related issues and a necessity to adjust the university remuneration and internal policy to motivate greater engagement in innovation management.

“…As this study aims to explore the influence of VR technology on house purchasing behavior, a survey method through a set of booklet questionnaires was employed. Survey method was used in this study as this method is fit for explanatory research [24] as well as provides a standardized inquiry which would be presented in the same method among different respondents [25]. The booklet of survey form was designed by dividing into three main sections; Section A: respondent's demographic profile, Section B: attractiveness of VR technology as a promotion tool and Section C: house buyer's intention to purchase.…”

This study aims to investigate the response from selected potential buyers on the marketing communication channel by using the application of virtual reality (VR) in new housing schemes. The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis relating to the channel attributes and potential buyers' purchase intentions through a within-subject design with 100 prospective house buyers. Data were analysed using correlation analysis in IBM SPSS software. It was found that the channel attributes are related to the house purchase intention as indicated by correlation values of 0.793, which indicates strong correlations. As the study uses a quantitative survey method, the data obtained may not be as precise as data obtained using a qualitative research method. Respondents can only select a few options, making it harder for them to express their true opinions. As a contribution to the housing industry, this study emphasizes the importance of VR house models in marketing communication by providing useful empirical results and recommendations based on the research results. The study integrates the current knowledge derived from the research conceptual framework to develop a smart real estate marketing strategy using VR.

“…Interviews were conducted in an exploratory manner by using a mix of open and closed ended questions that enabled us to identify the variety of influences on long-term planning (Bryman 2016). On the basis of data collected from the exploratory interviews, an online survey was developed to expand sample size and geographic spread, and to test findings from the interviews as per Jain (2021).…”

Climate change is irreversibly changing the water cycle, yet existing environmental flow assessment methods often fail to recognize the non-stationarity of hydro-climatic systems. Failure to do so will lead to the inability of environmental water management to achieve its ecological targets. Australia has undergone major reform over the past 12 years to recover water from consumptive use for environmental benefit and this paper examines how government agencies responsible for planning and delivery of environmental water establish ecological objectives, and whether there are any barriers to including climate adaptations. We used semi-structured interviews and an online survey of environmental water staff throughout Australia, focusing on southeast Australia, to gather information on methods and perceptions regarding these key issues. The results show water managers perceive current ecological objectives as unachievable and are frustrated by using outdated, government-recommended flow assessment methods. There are many general and industry-specific barriers to climate adaptation that are not insurmountable, yet the current lack of legislative and policy guidance provides little assistance on the best way to respond. We conclude that environmental water planning needs to more formally incorporate climate change considerations along with modelling approaches that can evaluate outcomes under a range of possible future hydro-climatic scenarios to ensure proactive decision making can occur. As the industry currently exists in Australia, it is ill prepared for the challenge of meeting legislated ecological targets under future climates.
