This Vell research report on Characteristics of Successful CEOs investigates whether common perceptions regarding the predictors of CEO success are valid. The research uses data about public technology products companies in New England with over $100 M in revenues and their CEOs. Our research examines the correlation (or lack of) between a company's performance and the CEO's education, experience, tenure, age, reliance on an independent Chair, and whether the CEO came in as internal promotion vs. external hire. Not unexpectedly, technology companies differ from other companies in many significant ways. Although we work extensively with technology CEOs, some of the findings were surprising to us. For example, the predominance of founders among companies with revenues between $100 M $1 B was unexpected. Each topic has three sections. The Patterns Detected section summarizes the underlying distribution of our data set, e.g., the percent of CEOs who were founders by company size. The So Where Were the Differences section reports the correlation between corporate performance and the relevant characteristics, e.g., founders vs. non-founders. The Key Take-Aways section highlights the most striking conclusions.

The ingenuity and visibility of NASA space programs, such as the max launch abort system (MLAs), are sparking the creativity, knowledge transfer, and unique applications of revolutionary technologies in areas such as aerospace, wind energy, transportation, oil, safety, and civil infrastructure. Lightweight, high-strength, carbon-fiber composites materials, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, smart sensors, out-of-autoclave curing of autoclave composites, unified structures, structural health monitoring systems, smart phone/RFID tracking, determinant assembly, forensic engineering, and the digital tapestry that ties everything together are just a few of the technological advances perfected in NASA’s programs. Successful composites technology transfer takes the discussion of these technologies to the next level — addressing the advantages and challenges to their more widespread industrial application. Readers will get insight into how high-strength, carbon-fiber composites and its related technologies are making inroads into products such as commercial airplane seats and carts, turbine blades, firefighting equipment, trucks, buses, lifting and support devices, and containers. The author shares breakthrough thinking on other potential applications, such as a new lighter than air ship, prototype vehicles, driver health and safety, firefighter safety, and bridge infrastructure safety and health monitoring. According to Foreword author, Tim Shinbara, vice president of manufacturing technology at AMT (Association for Manufacturing Technology), “...it is of considerable value to search out, discover, and digest resources such as this book in an effort to continually improve the lens by which we innovate.” Aside from new product innovations, extension of the manufacturing technologies, and processes described herein have the potential to not only add new functionality or modify the existing functionality of existing products and systems, but in many cases, adoption would require minimal effort from the manufacturing enterprise.

This volume presents distinctive, innovative models of teacher education from Australia, discusses their successful elements and considers possibilities for successful teacher education in the twenty-first century. Each model is couched within the international teacher education concerns of the theory practice nexus, school-university partnerships, reflective practice, and the role of technology. The contributing authors, drawn from different contexts and locations around Australia, each offers research-based perspectives on successful teacher education. Responses to teacher education challenges in rural and regional contexts, metropolitan areas, among low socio-economic populations and Indigenous communities are considered. Ways in which technology, and in particular mobile technology, can be used to support learning across these diverse contexts are illustrated, as is the role of reflective practice to encourage critical reflection for improving teacher learning. Collectively, the authors present a range of directions that can guide the future of teacher education both nationally and internationally, demonstrating that context, partnerships, reflection and technology are critical elements in the provision of successful teacher education.

Technology in Its Place is a practical resource that features diverse approaches for improving teaching and learning through the use of technology. The contributors are a blue-ribbon panel of experts in the field who cover a broad range of topics including information on administration, strategic planning, leadership, curricular integration, and professional development. Technology in Its Place shows how technology can be effectively implemented in the classroom and examines the roles and responsibilities of teachers, librarians, technologists, and administrators. The book is filled with helpful suggestions and examples such as practical advice for formulating and implementing policy on intellectual freedom and acceptable technology practice. The authors also address the key issues of funding, infrastructure, teacher resistance, and community support and offer guidance on planning for technology in an urban school district. In addition, the book includes examples of qualitative research that attest to the power of technology applications that promote learning. "Unlike so many technology cheerleading books that put the cart before the horse, Technology in Its Place shows how to support learning with technology as a means to an end that will appeal to school leaders and planners." --Jamie McKenzie, editor, From Now On-The Educational Technology Journal "Curriculum planners, technology coordinators, teachers, and school administrators will find much to learn in this rich overview of the promises and the challenges of technology as a tool for improved schooling." --Martin Huntley, director of technology, The Education Alliance, Brown University "Technology is provoking change worldwide. This book is published just in time to support us all in putting technology in its place in schools and teacher education, thank goodness!

While electronic research has developed in many governments around the world, the majority of its research has focused on the supply and demand aspects of e-government instead of the focus on technology integration for successful e-government design. Technology Development and Platform Enhancements for Successful Global E-Government Design compiles the shared experiences of e-government designers and practitioners with a focus on technological design. By highlighting the different technological nuances that need to be incorporated into successful e-government designs, this book is a useful tool for professionals and researchers concerned with the organizational development in different types of e-government communities and environments.

Companies across different industries are launching technology-enabled (digital) business transformation programs to improve their strategic, tactical, and operational supply chain processes. The greatest challenges that they are facing include the lack of preparation and knowledge of the digital transformation life cycle and poorly addressing or neglecting the “people-related” aspects of them. Therefore, improvement initiatives have been short-lived or incomplete, and expected business benefits have not been achieved or materialized. Technology Optimization and Change Management for Successful Digital Supply Chains is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of digital business transformation programs to improve strategic, tactical, and operational supply chain processes. While highlighting topics such as maturity models, predictive analysis, and communication planning, this publication explores the limited literature in the field of digital supply chain optimization and business transformation, and complements it with practical and proven tactics from the industry. This book is ideally designed for program managers, engineers, students, and practitioners seeking current research on the field’s latest best practices on digital supply chain enablement.
