Abstract:
This paper argues that we should focus on creating examples of
indigenous HCI. This should be done by becoming more sensitive to regional
and national differences in how work styles and interaction design across time
and use merge, adapt, localize and reduce the ambiguity of the technology. A case
of climate control is reported. The method is interpretive phenomenological
analysis that focuses on idiosyncrasies. The climate control experience of a
Danish expert is compared with the experiences of a similar Israeli expert. The
conclusion says that many similarities exist, but also meaningful differences that
should be the basis for Indigenous HCI design.
In this paper I ask the basic question highlighted in the title, how does innovative potential and collaborative capacity contribute to a firm’s innovativeness? To address this central question I draw on innovative potential and collaborative capacity as a dynamic notion evaluates the data from India. This paper tries to create a framework creating a sustainable environment for ICT Innovation. To do that I argue that innovative potential and collaborative capacity provide a constellation of inputs to the firm to address both internal and external challenges. For instance while innovative potential works at a project or an individual level while collaborative capacity is seen to work at a firm or perhaps at the inter firm level. This does not mean IP acts only at the locus stated. I conjecture that IP/CC interact with each other at defferent levels, where each takes turn in driving the process of ICT Innovation.

Abstract:
Using a combined conceptual and single case-based research methodology, we explore
the process connecting a buyers attempt to transfer its sustainability requirements with
its suppliers’ willingness to participate. We conclude that buyer promoted sustainability
practices in the supply chain can be understood as multiple decision problems. The case
illustrate how accounting devices play major roles in resolving these decision problems,
and how decision criteria apparently unconnected to the sustainability issue affect the
outcome of the sustainability transferral process in the supply chain.
