While there are many ways to collect information, students have trouble understanding how to employ various research methods effectively, since everyone learns and processes information differently. Instructing students on successfully using research methods is a continual challenge in education. The Handbook of Research on Students' Research Competence in Modern Educational Contexts is a scholarly resource that examines the critical analysis of the development of research competence in students. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics, such as educational technologies, cognitive interest, and research capacity, this book is geared towards academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on the development of research competence.
One of the most challenging obstacles for many businesses in successfully reaching a global market stems from cultural and language barriers and the lack of a clear understanding of this issue. It is critical for businesses to understand these cultural and language barriers and how to face them through effective communications and cultural sensitivity. The companies that will thrive and see the most success are the ones whose employees communicate and collaborate effectively with customers, suppliers, and partners all over the world. Breaking Down Language and Cultural Barriers Through Contemporary Global Marketing Strategies provides both empirical and theoretical research focused on ways t...
Knowledge management has always been about the process of creating, sharing, using, and applying knowledge within and between organizations. Before the advent of information systems, knowledge management processes were manual or offline. However, the emergence and eventual evolution of information systems created the possibility for the gradual but slow automation of knowledge management processes. These digital technologies enable data capture, data storage, data mining, data analytics, and data visualization. The value provided by such technologies is enhanced and distributed to organizations as well as customers using the digital technologies that enable interconnectivity. Today, the fine...

Concrete will be the key material for Mankind to create the built environment of the next millenium. The requirements of this infrastructure will be both demanding, in terms of technical performance and economy, and yet be greatly varied, from architectural masterpieces to the simplest of utilities. Innovation in Concrete Structures: Design and Construction forms the proceeding of the three day International Conference held during the Congress, Creating with Concrete, 6-10 September 1999, organised by the Concrete Technology University. Topics discussed include civil engineering structures, sub-structures, high-rise structures, deep basements, precast concrete construction and housing.
During global crises, apart from humanitarian concerns, at the economic level, supply chains around the world can be impacted. These crises can cause huge uncertainties in both the supply and demand parts of supply chains. On one side, the demand for some products and services can be reduced. On the other side, manufacturers around the world are facing shortages of supplies of raw materials and parts because of interruptions in production, disruptions to transportation, and labor shortages. In this context, organizations start to re-examine their production and service systems based on digitization of operations to not only mitigate the risk but also to build a resilient supply chain while c...
