Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究成果には二重の貢献があります。 1 つは社会的影響のため、もう 1 つは科学的付加価値のためです。 社会的影響として、会議の普及と出版は、学術界と一般社会の間で、国際的な文脈における知識と業界に対するさらなる認識を生み出します。 今後のビジネスケースは、実務家や政策立案者の間での教育の教材としても役立ちます。 研究成果として、特定のモデルを通じて、国際的な文脈におけるイノベーションに対する複雑性文化の影響についての理解を高める可能性があります。 これは、この分野の知識を高めるために、この分野での将来の研究の方向性を促します。
