Reconciling Discontinuities and Disruptions: The Construction of an Integrated Typology
… often characterized by a rapid shift from one dominant design to another. The theories of discontinuous and disruptive innovation present two important and independent explanations for why these shifts occur. This research tests the usefulness of combining these two theories into a single …

Motion control of long span horizontal structures
Traditional approaches to structural design presuppose strength to be the dominant design requirement. But following new technologies and design methods, this assumption that strength requirements dominate is being challenged. In the design of horizontal structures, such as floor systems and …

Thermal properties of structural details in wood frame homes : analysis and recommendations
The wood platform frame home is the dominant design in the United States when it comes to single family housing. Introduced during the mid-nineteenth century, the scheme is a cheap, fast, and proven design that takes advantage of the large and abundant American wood supply. However, while building …

A framework for enhancing the sense of presence in virtual and mixed reality
… by psychologist JJ Gibson. Oculocentrism in design overlooks the fact that Gibson's theory of perception encompasses the entire range of perceptual processes integrated with action, including kinesthesia and affordances of the environment. Starting with Gibson's ecological approach to the …

Mobile payments : what we can learn from the past
… to the theory, at this fluid stage, where no dominant design has emerged, it is nearly impossible to predict industry evolution. This paper tests the hypothesis that (i) because the MP industry is a path dependent system rather than a hysteresis system whose state depends on their immediate …
