Prediction Markets:A literature review 2014

In recent years, Prediction Markets gained growing interest as a forecasting tool among researchers as well as practitioners, which resulted in an increasing number of publications. In order to track the latest development of research, comprising the extent and focus of research, this article provides a comprehensive review and classification of the literature related to the topic of Prediction Markets. Overall, 304 relevant articles, published in the timeframe from 2007 through 2013, were identified and assigned to a herein presented classification scheme, differentiating between descriptive works, articles of theoretical nature, application-oriented studies and articles dealing with the topic of law and policy. The analysis of the research results reveals that more than half of the literature pool deals with the application and actual function tests of Prediction Markets. The results are further compared to two previous works published by Zhao, Wagner and Chen (2008) and Tziralis and Tatsiopoulos (2007a). The article concludes with an extended bibliography section and may therefore serve as a guidance and basis for further research. (250 WORDS

The marketing of high-tech innovation: research and teaching as a multidisciplinary communication task

Economically successful high-tech innovation is one of the driving forces for global welfare. Like innovation half-life, break-even time to market or technology acceptance, effective multidisciplinary communication between engineering and marketing is a critical success factor. This paper aims to show the requirements of multidisciplinary communication in B2B marketing of high-tech innovation and methodical approaches in research and academic education: 1. Requirements in high-tech innovation marketing as an ongoing dialogue between technology, finance and marketing. 2. Experimental method of marketing test beds for innovative high-tech start-ups based on a multidisciplinary approach. 3. Results of a multidisciplinary education scheme conducted by three universities that cooperate in high-tech innovation marketing by setting up workshops in pharmacy and health, agricultural and bio products, and information and communication technology (ICT). 4. Requirements of a multidisciplinary network spanning the triangle of science – education – business.

Autopoiesis in creativity and art

The term autopoiesis, (meaning ‘self’) and ‘poiesis’ (mean- ing ‘creation, production’) defines a system capable of repro- ducing and maintaining itself. The term was introduced by the theoretical biologists, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, in 1972 to define the self-maintaining chemistry of living cells. The term has subsequently also been applied to the fields of systems theory and sociology. In this paper we apply this model to characterise creativity in art practise

Autopoiesis and Dance

Este artigo oferece um compromisso conceitual com o processo de criatividade em movimento. No trabalho implantamos uma visão a partir da noção de autopoiese - um termo que engloba “autonomia”, "self" e "poiesis" (que significa "criação" e “produção”) - que foi introduzida pelos biólogos teóricos, Humberto Maturana e Francisco Varela , em 1972, para definir a química de manutenção do self de células vivas e foi, posteriormente, também aplicada aos campos da teoria dos sistemas e sociologia. Neste trabalho, empregaremos a formalização para sugerir como o processo de engajamento de um dançarino com o movimento é capaz de reproduzir e manter-se; explorando, teoricamente, como essa atenção é mantida e como, inevitavelmente, a vontade do dançarino deve esgotar, eventualmente, e como seus movimentos desaparecerem de volta à quietude

Autopoiesis, Creativity and Dance

For many years three key aspects of creative processes have been glossed over by theorists eager to avoid the mystery of consciousness and instead embrace an implicitly more formal, computational vision: autonomy, phenomenality and the temporally embedded and bounded nature of creative processes. In this paper we will discuss autopoiesis and creativity; an alternative metaphor which we suggest offers new insight into these long overlooked aspects of the creative processes in humans and the machine, and examine the metaphor in the context of dance choreography

El diseño impulsado por la experiencia desde la comunicación multidimensional y la co-creación de valor en el marco de la interacción empresa-personas

El proyecto se centra en el estudio del fenómeno del diseño de experiencias a partir de los aspectos evolutivos de la comunicación en el marco de la interacción empresa-personas, como medio para impulsar la creación de valores diferenciales en el diseño de productos, servicios y de su entorno relacional. En esta investigación se evidencia, que existen fuertes asociaciones entre la comunicación desde una óptica multidimensional, y la intensidad de la experiencia de uso o consumo de las personas en el contexto de su interacción con las empresas a través de su oferta de valores. Para demostrarlo se plantea un abordaje que parte de la objetivación de los componentes, funciones y cualidades integrantes que describen más claramente la temática, y de cómo estos elementos operan en el sistema objeto de estudio, en torno a respuestas afectivas clave que permitirían a una organización inferir como potenciar una vivencia haciéndola más plena, o por el contrario atenuarla en su intensidad, sobre la base de aspectos eminentemente comunicacionales. Todo ello a través de contenidos representados en la figura de tres impulsores: diferenciación, configuración y emoción, explorados bajo un enfoque sistémico, a través de un modelo conceptual propuesto para tales fines. Empresas, diseñadores, gerentes, estrategas e investigadores y gestores de I+D+i y branding, se ven cada vez más en la necesidad de incorporar nuevos recursos de conocimiento en sus procesos de toma de decisiones sobre principios de aproximación al usuario, para acceder y proponer nuevas fórmulas de creación conjunta de valor sostenible a largo plazo, que incluyan consideraciones sobre sus motivaciones, expectativas e insights reales, en el marco de nuevas dinámicas de comunicación capaces de potenciar el entendimiento entre organizaciones y personas a niveles más emocionales y menos racionales. En esta disertación se proponen contenidos, conceptos y herramientas que procuran apoyar esos procesos de toma de decisiones, alrededor de nuevas prácticas de innovación y de visualización del portafolio de productos, servicios y escenificación de experiencias. La investigación transcurre alrededor del planteamiento de seis hipótesis que parten del análisis de la integración entre los constructos experiencia y comunicación, y de la intensidad como medida del grado de fuerza con la que ésta se experimenta; aspectos que se analizan y verifican a través de dos estudios, en los cuales se articulan los contenidos cualitativos con la obtención y tratamiento de datos empíricos: uno con expertos de veintidós diferentes países y otro sobre experiencias de interacción directa con productos y su contexto comunicacional.González Díaz, JR.
