This paper presents a product development methodology for use with indigenous rural workers. It is based on the revival of cultural and social values, with a focus on the conservation of natural resources. Illustrated by the case of Mixtec craftswomen in Mexico, this paper shows how poor groups can improve their living conditions through innovation and the diversification of their products. The process combines techniques of product development based on marketing, with a participatory focus and continuous improvement, in order to develop a unique and high‐quality product that can be more successfully marketed. The craftswomen are now able to plan their production and can evaluate and commercialise their products. 相似文献

This paper extends the sparse existing literature on structural breaks in emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe by analyzing structural breaks in the intercept, trend and variance of monthly key macroeconomic variables, such as industrial production, inflation, monetary aggregates, nominal exchange rates and series related to the labor market. Using the Bayesian procedure developed by Wang and Zivot (2000, A Bayesian time series model of multiple structural changes in level, trend and variance. J Busi Econom 18:374–386), we provide strong evidence in favor of multiple structural breaks in the series under study. As most of the existing empirical literature on European emerging markets does not sufficiently deal with structural breaks, the instability found in this paper has important implications for macro-econometric modeling as well as the ensuing recommendations for economic policy. 相似文献
This paper explores scientists’ perspectives on the possible “unintended effects” of university patenting on the definition
of academic research agendas, and the norms of open science. Based on a survey of life science researchers in Denmark, we
found that a substantial proportion of scientists were skeptical about the impact of university patenting. The most skeptical
respondents were scientists oriented towards basic research (particularly the less productive ones), recipients of research
council grants, scientists with close relations to industry, and full professors. Highly productive scientists were less concerned.
Our results have implications for understanding the ultimate success or failure of academic patenting policies, including
how increased university patenting may be affecting how scientists conduct academic research. 相似文献
