UNESCO-World Technopolis Association International Training Workshop Green Growth from Science Park Initiatives at Daedeok Innopolis, Korea: www.wtanet.org
November 11, 2009 at 6pm to November 14, 2009 at 7pm
This International Training Workshop aims to build capacities of the developing countries in the management of technopolis, with a view to marshalling science technology and innovation for sustainable development.
In late May, I attended the conclave of the Fellows of the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas at Austin. In June, I taught a course in Operations Management at Fujen Catholic University in Taipei, Taiwan, and gave lectures at National Chengchi…

Hi Paul. It's due to the general economic slump. -f
Is this because of general economic decline, or because of the markets and technologies they focused upon?
Postscript, quoted from TIME magazine March 23, 2009: "At Taiwan's Hsinchu Science Based Industrial Park, home to many of the island's flagship tech firms, most workers are taking unpaid leave at least one day a week. Ryan Wu, chief operating office…
This post took me back in time as well. I did some consulting work for Hsin-chu and the Technopolis Novus Ortus in Italy in the mid 1990s. I also did some research on science based industrial parks and the following analysis resulted.

In January - after 33 years! - I returned to Taiwan and at long last had an opportunity to visit the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park. Long held as a good example of government-led technology-based economic development, HSBIP appeared in my 200…
In 2007, for the first time, the majority of human beings lived in cities.
In 2008, the U.S. overtook France as the world's leading wine-drinking nation.

Hmm, I have two paths to an Erdos number that is at most 4. I guess that and $2 will buy me a latte... Nicer to have network connections to living people!
What will “Infrastructure 2.0” look like?
Like Car 2.0, Infra 2.0 will blend high technology with innovative business models, some involving public-private cooperation. Smart technology will be central to transforming the delivery of water, sewage,…

What I (over)did on my summer vacation
In late May, I attended the conclave of the Fellows of the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas at Austin. In June, I taught a course in Operations Management at Fujen Catholic University in Taipei, Taiwan, and gave lectures at National Chengchi University and National Tsinghua University. I was honored to be invited to return to Tsinghua as a visiting professor, but that will have to wait for a sabbatical year.

Seeking examples of dilettantism in management research
Fred Phillips is looking into the effects of dilettantism on management research, and seeks additional examples. The quintessential instance would be Harvard’s David Yoffie, who in his book about ‘judo strategy’ admits that he never took a judo lesson. Other business authors have attempted to bring to bear principles from ecology, shamanism, neurology, or complexity theory, etc. – without a background of serious study in these areas, and sometimes having just the briefest acquaintance with them.… Continue

Crossing Over
In 2007, for the first time, the majority of human beings lived in cities.
In 2008, the U.S. overtook France as the world's leading wine-drinking nation.
In 2009, for the first time, more people worldwide used the Internet for social networking than for email.
I’ve amassed a big collection of such “crossovers” here, with the sources for each. Why? Well, it has always been thought that these points are rather uninteresting; Modis… Continue
