In this book, Mercier-Laurent and Edvinsson consider a cutting-edge thought methodology for solving global challenges - by looking at societal innovation through the lens of an analogy to cooking. ...How might we apply the power of cooking to connect imagination, knowledge, know-how and pleasure to real-world problems?.
In a very uncertain and competitive economy, companies have to cope with external constraints such as environmental and social issues, to gain competitive advantage. Over the last thirty years, ...numerous initiatives have appeared to deal with socio-environmental issues. However, contexts are complex and dynamics. Many authors therefore point out the need to establish a systemic perspective in order to improve the integration of sustainable issues into all company activities: from strategic decision-making to the end of the project. In addition, companies need to reinforce the relationship between general corporate development and eco-design activities. Based on literature review, this paper assumes that the integration of sustainability can be improved by developing a coherent and system approach between strategic, tactical and operational levels. The authors have chosen to demonstrate this assumption by targeting the environmental aspect of sustainability as a first step of their overall research.
In this view, this paper proposes a navigation system composed of three modules: strategic, tactical and operational. This navigation system provides some pragmatic roadmaps for integrating environment into the company. Each module is linked to the others by the use of appropriate metrics. Bottom-up and top-down or middle-to-sides strategies are fully supported.
To test this proposal, the navigation system is experimented retrospectively into an industrial process from the textile industry. The comparison between the initial situation and the experimental results allows authors to highlights potential environmental improvements. Some recommendations are made to challenges companies to use this navigation system, which argues in favor of environmental improvements.
This article highlights the importance of a knowledge management approach for the digitization of cultural heritage. We present a hybrid system automatizing the cycle of information and knowledge ...collecting and storing for future research. This system is composed of several modules, and enables to gather information from a dictaphone according to a specified descriptive system, automatically transcribe oral information, perform linguistic analysis and information extraction, as well as semi-automatically populate a domain ontology in accordance with a predefined conceptual model. The use of an ontological extension is also presented, through an application based on an XML architecture to valorize cultural heritage in the field of Greek and Latin epigraphy.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to share experience on what has happened in knowledge management in France since the 1980s, for better understanding of cultural influence in holistic KM.Design ...methodology approach - The main method is applying the KM principles, such as continuous feedback from experience, to understand better all facets of the whole process and improve the theories by from field experiments.Findings - It was found that culture has influence on the way of applying the KM theories in various countries. Taking into consideration the past experience accelerates the progress and experience helps to improve theories.Research limitations implications - All facets of knowledge management should be included in an effective useful research.Practical implications - A better understanding of the French way of applying the KM principles is produced.Social implications - This paper makes a contribution to a global KM approach. An impact could be made on education by a new KM culture for knowledge society, capable of successful management in the knowledge economy.Originality value - The value is represented by the holistic and system view presented.
Sustainable development is among the greatest challenges of this century. Sustainability and development are apparently opposite. The traditional approaches try to manage the planet protection ...without taking the best from technology while eco-innovation focus mainly on smart transportation, smart use of energy and water and waste recycling. Many new concepts such as Smart, Intelligent, Green or Wise City were invented to promote ... old technology. All these initiatives use data bases and machine to machine communication. The AI approaches and techniques may be very useful not only for process optimization but also for simulation before doing and education of new behaviors. This talk will present the principal advantages of using AI for balancing planet protection and technological progress.

This article presents applied research work that addresses a real need for improvement of the collection, indexing and retrieval of knowledge of cultural heritage. To facilitate the task of fieldwork ...and to improve the access to knowledge, we designed, prototyped and tested in a real environment a system for automating the cycle of collecting and storing information and knowledge for future processing. It contains several modules, allowing the knowledge acquisition cycle to be completed: registering artwork description using a voice interface, automatic 'translation' of the audio files to text files, linguistic analysis and extraction of information for the Inventory Descriptive System and, finally, automatic construction of a domain ontology according to a predefined conceptual model. This hybrid system combines the techniques of signal and natural language processing and of knowledge modelling. After introducing the process of the acquisition and management of information gathered in the field, we describe the nature of knowledge, the models used, the architecture and the various treatments performed by our system. Finally, we provide some perspectives on future development.
