CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF INTEGRAL INNOVATION FOR DEVELOPERS, WITHIN THE SUPPLY OF AUTO PARTS IN EMERGING COUNTRIES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

The objective of this article is the development of a proposal for a comprehensive conceptual model of innovation for developers, within the supply of auto parts in the context of emerging economies, based on a systematic review of innovation capabilities. For this purpose, prestigious digital sources were used to collect and select related literature, taking into account global quality metrics; the results yielded a selection of 50 articles that address in depth the research constructs with updated studies, and that include both the contexts of the research objective and alternative contexts with important theoretical contributions; The results of the systematic review also clearly show a classification of internal and external factors of the organizations, which influence the dimensions of innovation capacity and developed constructs, as well as their role in a proposal that integrates them in a conceptual model for managing innovation, using the theoretical bases of open innovation and the PDCA cycle

Assessment of Hardness Based on Phase Diagrams

This chapter summarizes the methodology and development of a general equation, in order to obtain a series of equations to assess the hardness of different Al-Cu-Zn alloys, based on their chemical composition. This methodology produces an assessment of hardness with a maximal deviation of 5%, in as-cast, homogenized and quenching alloys, for both alloys created in laboratories like commercials. This method entails the generation of linear equations by a linear regression method, obtained from a zone of the phase diagram, when the composition is changed from linear to planar form. Therefore, if the chemical composition of samples varies, the percentage of each phase will also vary, causing a change in mechanical properties in a linear manner. If the heat treatments are the same for all samples, then the changes in mechanical properties are proportional for each of them, maintaining the linear relationship in mechanical properties in accordance with chemical composition. This methodology is applicable for any ternary alloy along with its equilibrium diagram
