Mid-term Paper

The variety of modern industries such as aerospace, biotechnology, video game development, and technology has created a strong culture of innovation both in professional work

You might be wondering am I, Ernie Alvarado on the path of success? Yes I am. So far I've completed about 155 credits. What i've done well so far is my mathematical, history, and science skills. The areas of which I need improvement on is my english skills. The aspects of high school in which I find difficult is self-confidence and managing my time to get all my work done. Time management and effort are ways to improve on my areas of weakness.

As I get ready to face my senior year, no body can predict what is going to happen like the weather. Weather is a great example to represent the coming senior year, sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad. There is nothing much I can do about it. Even though there is a forecast, but still, there is going to be something unexpected.

If someone ask me what is my favorite memories in high school for now. I’ll says that is my sophomore year. Because sophomore year is the year that changed my mind and my life, the year that I meet my awesome friend and everyone look at me a different way and here is what happened to my sophomore year.

Increasing research and development can contribute to innovation and sustainability of business globally and in the U.S. in many ways. Increasing R&D companies can stay ahead of

My senior year is coming to an end, high school is pretty much over. With the finish line quickly approaching, I reflect on all the things I’ve done in these past four years and, more importantly, all the things I did not do in the past four years that I probably should have. In retrospect, I never did feel like high school was going to be where the best time of my life would be remembered, but now that it’s pretty much over I think maybe I should have treated it like it was. I would love to be able to say there is nothing I didn’t do that I wanted to and that I didn’t have any regrets, but there is a fair share of both. When I think too much about the end, I get sentimental about the experiences, friends, laughs, awkward moments, and more.

August 24, 2016 is the day I started my senior year. I been waiting for this moment my freshman year of high school. I couldn't wait for this moment to come.The first day of my senior year I went to my homeroom to get scheduled for 2015-2016 year. Then couldnt wait to get my senior I.D so i can go off campus eat. Once i get that senior I.D, I know that i'm officially a senior at Elsik. This was my last year playing football. That mean I had to go out with a bang. I played my last home game at Krump against Hasting. Hasting is the worst football team that I played against. I had to ball out that game and I and i did . That moment was sad for us senior because that was our last pep rally as a football team. When we went to playoffs. We were

Do you think that seniors should be allowed to skip senior year of highschool? Is senior year unproductive and not as educational as the previous years of high school? Is skipping senior year and going straight to college the best for the students.

There are many cultures in the history of human kind, each very diverse and unique in its own way. There are many factors which lead to their diversity and uniqueness, such as the different interaction factors with other cultures. However, one of the most important factors of all is the geographical conditions in which the culture had to develop to. Geography can affect a culture greatly in many different ways. Geography provided the environment, resources, and the location crucial to the development of a culture. The most important factor of all is the resources which helps the culture to develop drastically.

In the middle of the 20th-century, two countries saw (at least virtual) independence from British monarchy. On the surface, these countries could be one in the same: both had a troubled history of colonization by foreign nations, both have a wealth of natural resources, both are geographically isolated, and both have strong regional ties that could divide the country. Canada and India were both launched into the international world on their own at the same time, but fast-forwarding to today, these countries have taken two different paths from their sovereignty. This divergence between the two nations can be attributed to one defining historical characteristic for Canada: Canada is a relatively young nation built on the back of mostly Frenchmen,

Senior year was a year to remember. Imagine walking into your school for the last time, you start to realize that soon you will be entering the real world, called reality. Memories like eating breakfast with friends, walking down the halls with your friends. Basically hanging out with friends, is what I can keep in my heart and cherish them forever.

Senior project, the highlight of senior year. An event that most look forward to in hopes to gain experience with a project of their choice. An opportunity for students to use a skill set that they have acquired throughout their high school careers and apply it to their passions. When I initially began planning for my personal senior project, I had so many things going on in my mind as to what I would like to complete that I didn’t even know where to start! Initially, I wanted to learn and gain experience with welding. Then, over the summer prior to senior year, my father and I traveled up north to visit old friends and spent quite some time out on the sea. I developed a passion for sailing and our family-friends sea adventure stories and hoped

In the early 1970s the process of industrial innovation was commonly assumed as the “linear progression”, through development of technology in organizations, to marketplace, that became the “technology push model”. And in “mid 1960s- early 1970s period” appears 2ndgeneration of “Innovation model”, alluded to as "market pull innovation model”. In accordance with “simple sequential model”, the marketplace was new ideas as a source for controlling “R&D” that had a responsive role in innovation process. That is “demand pull” model. Individuals obtained this theory due to their restricted vision then. They considered science as the origin and cause of innovation. Consequently they believed that high investment leads to novel innovative product production (Balconi, Brusoni & Orsenigo 2010). Clearly, the one reason of innovation is scientific research. In the 20th century, several big companies, like “Ford, Philips, ICI and Western Electric”, put money on the research laboratory. They fed the quickly emerging markets for vehicles, industrial chemicals and electrical products for consumers with the “science and technology” assistance and structured efforts for “research and development” built steady innovation streams. The other main aspect is demand, where it can be easily understood. The needs of

Tidd and Bessant (2009) argued that “Unless an organization is able to move into further innovation, it risks being left behind as others take the lead in changing their offerings, their operational processes or the underlying models that drive their business”.

Over the last decade, scholars have been assessing the impact of university spill overs. The most significant being knowledge transfer from university to firms. Firms provide the funding for research in universities through what is termed university-industry (UI) partnership/collaboration. This interaction between universities and firms or UI partnerships provides a mechanism by which both parties are rewarded. Industry provides universities with access to resources by funding their research and development agendas. While industry gain from the new knowledge and available technical skills which in turn increase their capacity and efficiency, making them more competitive. More universities have increased interaction with industry over the last few years, especially to reduce the impact of government budget cuts (Cyert & Goodman 1997). Although, the IU partnerships have made significant contributions to economic development across the world, universities in less developed regions, in countries such as Jamaica have not fully capitalized on this phenomenon. The IU partnership is developed through a culture where there is an understanding of the need for scientific knowledge to support innovation and to inform the development of policies and procedures for solving complex problems. The UI collaboration is also influenced by the availability of resources within universities and the extent to which they have the human and non-human capacity to respond to the needs of industry.
