This monograph focuses on the design of personalized and adaptive online interactive learning environment (OILE) to enhance students’ learning in and about complex dynamic systems (CDS). Numerous studies show that students experience difficulties when learning in and about CDS. The difficulties are due to challenges originating from a) the structural complexity of CDS, (b) the production of dynamic behavior from the underlying systems structure, and (c) methods, techniques and tools employed in the analysis of such systems. Despite the fact that studies have uncovered such learning challenges, it is still not well understood how we may effectively address these challenges. In this monograph, the authors provide some answers as to how we may best improve our cognitive capabilities to meet these challenges by way of effective instructional methods, techniques, and tools and their implementation in the form of an OILE. The OILE developed for this purpose, builds on a five-step holistic instructional design framework; identification of instructional design models, identification of authentic learning material, identification of instructional methods, identification of instructional techniques, and design of the interface and implementation of the tool. In this OILE development, six well-documented instructional design models were considered; a four component instructional design, first principles of instruction, constructivists learning environment, task centered instruction, cognitive apprenticeship, and elaboration theory.

Introduction to the Innovability Index: More than the fusion of innovation and sustainability The integration of innovation and sustainability, conceptualized as innovability, represents a strategic construct for addressing global challenges such as climate change, resource constraints, and social inequality. The conceptual understanding of innovability has advanced, but its empirical measurement and operationalization remain underdeveloped. This conceptual paper introduces the Innovability Index, designed to evaluate the extent to which countries, regions, or organizations embed sustainability principles. The index encompasses four dimensions: technological innovation for sustainability, environmental sustainability, social inclusiveness, and sustainable business practices. Each dimension is assessed through a set of indicators normalized, weighted, and aggregated to generate a composite performance score. The Innovability Index provides a structured approach for benchmarking sustainable innovation capabilities. It is a practical tool for policymakers, firms, and researchers to align innovation ecosystems with sustainability imperatives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This conceptual paper opens the thematic issue of innovability and sustainable innovation, as well as addresses a gap in the literature by introducing the initial attempt to measure innovability. Keywords: Innovability, Innovability Index, sustainable development, ESG, sustainability, sustainable innovation, technological innovation, environmental sustainability, social inclusiveness, sustainable business practices. Leadership competencies for innovability: Bridging theory and practice for sustainable development PURPOSE: This study explores the critical leadership competencies necessary for fostering innovability— the integration of innovation and sustainability—within organizations, particularly inr education institutions (HEIs) and the business sector. The research seeks to address the gap in understanding how these competencies are developed in HEIs and whether they effectively prepare graduates with the skills needed for the current business context. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need to identify robust instruments for measuring these competencies to ensure their practical application in organizational settings. METHODOLOGY: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science databases. The study employed a rigorous selection process to identify relevant empirical studies published between 2015 and 2024. A total of 53 articles were analyzed to address three key research questions related to the characteristics of innovability leadership, recommendations for developing immovability in organizations, and the methodologies or instruments used to identify these competencies. The analysis involved thematic synthesis and content analysis to extract insights and identify gaps in the existing literature. FINDINGS: The study identifies five key categories of leadership competencies essential for innovability, including strategic leadership, fostering a culture of collaboration, commitment to sustainability, continuous education, and sensitivity to global megatrends. Despite the recognition of these competencies, the study reveals a significant lack of empirical research on their practical implementation and measurement. The findings also highlight the need for robust tools to assess these competencies effectively. Additionally, the study provides several recommendations for developing innovability for their integration into the business sector, emphasizing the importance of leadership development programs, the integration of sustainability into corporate strategy, and the promotion of a collaborative organizational culture. IMPLICATIONS: Theoretically, the study contributes to the conceptual framework of innovability leadership by identifying critical competencies and suggesting a more integrated approach to leadership development in business education. Practically, the research underscores the importance of developing targeted training programs and assessment tools to cultivate these competencies in future leaders. This is particularly relevant for business schools, which play a crucial role in preparing students to address complex global challenges. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This study fills a gap in the literature by providing a detailed examination of the competencies required for innovability leadership and proposing directions for future research and practice. It offers a unique contribution by bridging the theoretical and practical aspects of innovability in leadership, particularly within the context of higher education. Keywords: innovability, leadership competencies, sustainability, business education, systematic literature review, Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, leadership development, educational innovation, higher education Integrating science, technology, and experimental knowledge for sustainable innovation: A Living Lab approach to urban biodiversity management PURPOSE: This study aims to enhance understanding of STI (Science, Technology, Innovation) and DUI (Doing, Using, Interacting) integration dynamics in sustainable innovation, specifically investigating its role in innovation outcomes, stakeholder engagement, and the institutionalization of sustainable practices in urban lawn management. METHODOLOGY: Using a single case study design, the study captures real-time, dynamic interactions between STI and DUI practices, observing ongoing processes. Data were collected through five focus group interviews with 32 stakeholders, individual interviews, project documentation, and a project diary. Stakeholders included public sector officials, NGOs, private garden owners, and business representatives, each offering insights into policy, environmental practices, and market-driven solutions. The Living Lab methodology, emphasizing co-creation and iterative feedback, guided both data collection and analysis, with NVivo software and manual coding used to identify key themes and challenges in integrating STI and DUI for sustainable innovation. FINDINGS: The investigation revealed that integrating STI and DUI modes fosters a dynamic synergy: STI provided scientific rigor, while DUI leveraged stakeholder input and local contexts to co-develop adaptive urban biodiversity solutions. This approach addressed location-specific challenges, balancing ecological goals with practical feasibility. For instance, stakeholder engagement refined scientific recommendations, ensuring broader applicability and adoption. Despite tensions between rigor and practicality, the participatory Living Lab methodology facilitated co-creation, aligning scientific insights with real-world needs to enhance sustainable lawn care practices. IMPLICATIONS: The study contributes to innovation theory by showing how integrating STI and DUI modes fosters socially responsive, adaptable solutions for urban biodiversity management. From a practical standpoint, it underscores the importance of stakeholder engagement in developing tools and strategies that balance scientific insights with practical, real-world application. The project offers a replicable model for integrating formal research with user-driven innovation in sustainability projects. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This paper provides a unique contribution by showcasing how the integration of formal scientific research (STI) with practical, user-cantered approaches (DUI) can foster innovability. The use of the Living Lab methodology to co-create urban biodiversity solutions bridges the gap between academic research and practical application, offering a novel framework for addressing complex environmental challenges through collaborative innovation. Keywords: sustainable innovation, Science, Technology, Innovation, STI, Doing, Using, Interacting, DUI, urban biodiversity, lawn management, Living Lab, stakeholder engagement, participatory innovation, co-creation, climate change adaptation The role of green blue ocean strategy in enhancing frugal innovation through IoT and AI: A resource-based view perspective PURPOSE: This study explores the role of Green Blue Ocean Strategy (GBOS) in promoting frugal innovation by leveraging IoT and AI from an RBV theoretical perspective, targeting creative entrepreneurs in Central Java, Indonesia. METHODOLOGY: A quantitative approach was used, with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analyzed via AMOS. Data from 262 creative entrepreneurs were collected through an online closed questionnaire using purposive sampling. FINDINGS: The study reveals that (1) IoT does not significantly impact frugal innovation, (2) AI positively influences frugal innovation, and (3) GBOS effectively mediates the relationship between IoT, AI, and frugal innovation, suggesting that integrating sustainable strategies with technology can lead to more cost-effective and inclusive innovations. IMPLICATIONS for theory and practice: The study extends the RBV framework by integrating the GBOS concept, demonstrating its effectiveness in optimizing digital technology for sustainability-driven innovation. It contributes to the literature on sustainability strategies and the Resource-Based View by introducing a novel theoretical model that links GBOS, IoT, and AI with frugal innovation. Practically, GBOS offers a pathway for creative entrepreneurs to overcome resource constraints and achieve competitive advantages through sustainable practices. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This study introduces Green Blue Ocean Strategy (GBOS) as a novel conceptual framework that extends the traditional Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) by integrating sustainability principles. GBOS addresses both economic and environmental concerns, enabling businesses to achieve cost-effective innovation. Grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV), this study systematically develops and empirically tests GBOS by linking it with IoT, AI, and frugal innovation. The framework offers a new lens for sustainable competitive advantage in resource-constrained environments. Keywords: internet of things, artificial intelligence, green blue ocean strategy, frugal innovation, resource-based view, sustainability, sustainable strategy, digital technology, sustainability-driven innovation, sustainable innovation The impact of eco-innovation on circular economy in EU countries: How patents affect circular material use rate? PURPOSE: The main objective of this study is to examine how eco-innovation activities, measured by the number of patents related to recycling and secondary raw materials, affect the level of use of circular materials in economic processes in European Union countries. Simultaneously, to take into account the impact of the other drivers of the circular economy, the study includes control variables such as GDP per capita, share of income from environmental taxes, age structure of the population, and level of education of the population. METHODOLOGY: This study uses a generalized linear model for panel data. For all analyzed explanatory variables, greater inter-group variation than intra-group variation was observed, so a panel-averaged effects estimator was used. The study sample includes 28 European Union (EU) countries. The time scope of this study is 2010-2019. Eurostat database was the source of the unbalanced panel data. This study seeks answers to the following research question: What is the impact of patents related to waste management and recycling on the circularity rate of the EU economies? FINDINGS: The results indicate that leaders in the area of circularity are the Netherlands, France, and Belgium. Ireland, Romania, and Portugal occupy last place in terms of the circularity of the economy. There is considerable variation in the number of patent applications related to waste management and recycling in the EU countries. Luxembourg, Finland, Belgium, and the Netherlands have the highest propensity for patents. In contrast, Bulgaria, Greece, and Croatia show the lowest patent activity. Finally, the higher the propensity to patent in waste management and recycling technologies, the higher the rate of circular use of materials. IMPLICATIONS: The results provide a compelling rationale for prioritizing and incentivizing investments in promising technologies to achieve both environmental sustainability and economic prosperity in the long term. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Our study sheds new light on the link between eco-innovation and circular economy in EU countries. We address the issue of possible nonlinearities between circularity and its drivers. Given the fractional nature of the response variable (i.e., circular material use rate), we apply the generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach to model both the mean structure and association structure of fractional responses. Keywords: circular economy, CE, circularity, eco-innovation, patent, circular material use, CE driver, EU countries, generalized estimating equations, recycling technologies, waste management Unitary Patent System and innovation dynamics in the European Union: The role of economic resources and R&D investments PURPOSE: The EU supports competitiveness and sustainability via innovations by the patent protection of inventions. On 1st June 2023, the EU launched the Unitary Patent System (UPS) with the Unitary Patent as a universal innovation protection tool. The data regarding its first 20 months of operations offers indices about innovation and patenting trends. METHODOLOGY: The contextual exploration of the UPS was projected into four aims addressing the absolute and relative numbers of Unitary Patents (A1) and the relationship between Unitary Patents and GDP per capita (A2) and GERD (A3) and comparatively juxtaposing them (A4). This deeper contextual understanding of Unitary Patenting dynamic entails EU member states and their top four competitors (China, Japan, South Korea, USA). The data regarding the GDP, GDP per capita, GERD, number of Unitary Patents in total and per millions of inhabitants was collected and visualized via tables and charts, and submitted to a critical comparison. FINDINGS: The first 20 months of the UPS operations suggests that the Unitary Patent is a viable, but not the most popular, patenting option, and that there is a positive impact on the GDP per capita and GERD for the majority of the EU member states and that there are differences between EU member states in their efficiency to generate Unitary Patents. IMPLICATIONS: The performed study confirms the parallel co-existence of various patenting strategies and the importance of investments in patented inventions. However, the size of GDP per capita followed by GERD is a mere pre-requirement that leads to diversified efficiency (even among similar jurisdictions with at least an average GDP per capita and GERD. Arguably, the UPS magnifies the differences, and the six original European integration jurisdictions are not the best UPS players. There are indices about positive trends for Northern EU member states and negative trends for Southern EU member states. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This is a pioneering contribution regarding a newly launched system showing that, despite the same regime, EU member states differ dramatically in their approach to patenting and that the level of GDP per capita and GERD are just the starting points. Keywords: Unitary Patent System, EU member states, GDP, gross domestic expenditure on research and development (GERD), GERD per GDP (GERD Index), innovation, sustainability, economic resources, patent protection The Digital-Sustainability Ecosystem: A conceptual framework for digital transformation and sustainable innovation PURPOSE: This study introduces the Digital-Sustainability Ecosystem, a conceptual framework to integrate digital transformation and sustainable innovation. It examines how emerging digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things, drive sustainability transitions by serving as strategic enablers. Addressing a critical gap in the literature, this research focuses on the dynamic mechanisms and synergies that connect digital transformation with sustainable innovation within a complex ecosystem. METHODOLOGY: The study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) of 50 studies and a comparative analysis of 13 existing frameworks to identify and analyze key mechanisms that link digital transformation and sustainable innovation, culminating in the development of the Digital-Sustainability Ecosystem framework. FINDINGS: The study identifies five interconnected mechanisms: efficiency gains, dematerialization, circular economy enablement, innovation acceleration, and digital collaboration. These mechanisms illustrate the relationships between technological advancements and sustainability objectives while addressing synergies and tensions, such as the trade-offs between energy demands and environmental benefits. The Digital-Sustainability Ecosystem emphasizes multi-stakeholder collaboration, iterative feedback loops, and adaptable processes to address gaps in existing models, positioning digital transformation as a transformative force for systemic sustainability improvements. IMPLICATIONS: The Digital-Sustainability Ecosystem advances theoretical discourse by positioning sustainability as a systemic outcome of digital transformation, extending beyond traditional efficiency-focused models. It emphasizes organizational resilience and stakeholder collaboration as pivotal for achieving sustainability objectives. Practitioners can leverage AI, IoT, and blockchain to enhance resource optimization and foster sustainability-driven innovation ecosystems. Policymakers and organizations are encouraged to combine digital strategies with sustainability imperatives, emphasizing adaptive leadership, regulatory alignment, and multi-stakeholder engagement. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This study presents a conceptual framework that bridges theoretical and practical gaps in the literature by integrating foundational theories that associate digital transformation with sustainability imperatives while fostering innovation and competitive advantage. The framework sets the stage for future research, emphasizing potential applications in industry-specific contexts, cross-sectoral collaborations, and the evolving role of emerging technologies in sustainability transitions. By incorporating dynamic feedback loops and systemic adaptability, this framework establishes a foundation for advancing both academic inquiry and practical implementation. It offers guidance for exploring unanswered questions about scalability, policy integration, and multi-stakeholder engagement in the digital age. Keywords: digital transformation, sustainable innovation, digital-sustainability ecosystem, sustainability transitions, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, circular economy, efficiency gains, dematerialization, acceleration, digital collaboration, stakeholders

Educational leaders must be prepared to lead during crisis. Leadership has been challenged with multiple crisis in recent years, including issues of school safety, school shootings, medical crises such as SARs, HINI, and the ongoing pandemic. While each of these situations has resulted in multiple plans of actions, none has impacted our society as the current pandemic (COVID19) has, in terms of immediacy of needs and actions. School and district leaders are in charge of managing many stakeholders, circumstances and have the authority and responsibility to lead with ethical behavior (Al Habusi, Ismail & Omar, 2018). Integrity, resilience, fairness help guide the components of ethical leadership that leaders need to model, communicate, and use as a framework for implementing and sustaining change in organizations (Hegarty & Moccia, 2018). This book is targeted for leaders of educational systems, school buildings and those leaders of organizations that are connected in some way to educational systems and schools at all levels. The educational issues raised by the COVID pandemic, began in March 2020. The leadership needs identified throughout this crisis exemplifies many of the issues of crisis management, that is applicable to other issues, such as school violence, school safety, accidents and deaths that occur in every district.

This comprehensive volume highlights the paradigm shift, creative approaches, and theoretical and practical aspects of rhizomatic learning. The great French theorists Deleuze and Guattari introduced the concept of the rhizome to allow educators to explore the educative process with the rhizomatic lens. The chapters cover digital pedagogies, the conceptual framework of rhizome and nomadic pedagogy in 21st-century education. It creates rhizomatic learning environments and rhizome metaphors to illuminate learning and teacher professional development. It covers an extensive range of issues and challenges related to teaching and learning in the techno centric education systems. It presents an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of rhizomatic learning approaches in various disciplines. It examines the following key questions: What is the conception of rhizomatic learning and nomadic pedagogy? In which ways can rhizomatic learning transform teaching methods in the digital era? How can educators implement a rhizomatic learning approach in practice? What is the connection between the rhizomatic process and divergent thinking in socially mediated and technology-driven learning environments? Combining theory and practice, this book is essential reading for educational policymakers, teacher educators, university faculty, researchers, instructional designers, learning technologists, teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students worldwide.

Assembling Archaeology provides a radical rethinking of the relationships between teaching, researching, digging, and practicing as an archaeologist in the 21st century. The issues addressed here are global and applicable wherever archaeology is taught, practiced, and researched. At its heart this book addresses the undervaluation of teaching, demonstrating that this affects the fundamentals of contemporary archaeological practice and is particularly connected to the lack of diversity in disciplinary demographics. It proposes a solution which is grounded in a theoretical rethinking of archaeological teaching, training, and practice by advocating a holistic 'assemblage' approach which challenges traditional power structures and the global marketization of the higher education system. Drawing on insights from archaeology's current material turn, this book approaches the discipline as a subject of investigation and offers a new perspective founded upon the notion of the learning assemblage, which resituates teaching and learning as a central focus and contributes to broader discourses on critical pedagogy and rhizomatic learning. It ultimately argues for a robust archaeological pedagogy that is rooted in and emergent from the material realities of the profession, and will be valuable to everyone from academia to Cultural Resource Management (CRM), heritage professional to undergraduate student.

Are pandemics the end of cities? Or, do they present an opportunity for us to reshape cities in ways making us even more innovative, successful and sustainable? Pandemics such as COVID-19 (and comparable disruptions) have caused intense debates over the future of cities. Through a series of investigative studies, Designing Smart and Resilient Cities for a Post-Pandemic World: Metropandemic Revolution seeks to critically discuss and compare different cases, innovations and approaches as to how cities can utilise nascent and future digital technology and/or new strategies in order to build stronger resilience to better tackle comparable large-scale pandemics and/or disruptions in the future. The authors identify ten separate societal areas where future digital technology can impact resilience. These are discussed in individual chapters. Each chapter concludes with a set of proposed "action points" based on the conclusions of each respective study. These serve as solid policy recommendations of what courses of action to take, to help increase the resilience in smart cities for each designated area. Securing resilience and cohesion between each area will bring about the metropandemic revolution. This book features a foreword by Nobel laureate Peter C. Doherty and an afterword by Professor of Urban Technologies, Carlo Ratti. It provides fresh and unique insights on smart cities and futures studies in a pandemic context, offers profound reflections on contemporary societal functions and the needs to build resilience and combines lessons learned from historical pandemics with possibilities offered by future technology.
