Today, businesses face various transformation challenges since innovation management is deeply embedded in the new dynamics of global economic expansion and competition. In the forthcoming, enterprises have to be able to design incorporated innovative methods that are flexible and stimulate a new narrative of progress. The objective of this paper is to emphasise the significance of the environmental innovation and economic management as principal sustainable business structures in order to support the hypothesis that one of the biggest problems with plastics as waste is that its reutilization or decontamination has not been solved yet. Thus, governance values have a huge impact on the organizational fulfilment in the innovation advancement, such as to protect the resources and the environment, seeking new ways of technical feasibility and economic viability by distributing economic benefits. All the scientific data are applied in a case study to propose a model of analysing and determining the need for innovative environmental strategies. The methodology used encompasses empirical research based on qualitative methods, outlining the decisive innovative factors towards more effective routines and transformation ascendency. The research results show a new invention and particular aspects of a business model when planning environmental innovation and highlight the importance of waste processing and destruction tool that leads to the growth of competitive, sustainable and innovative strategies.","PeriodicalId":382934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation and Business Best Practice","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132403002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of turbulent environment, research on enterprise innovation emphasizes the fact that innovation processes can no longer focus only on internal knowledge. Innovative processes of modern enterprises are increasingly open to external knowledge or technology. This knowledge is often acquired on the basis of cooperation between the organizations. Involving external entities not only as observers but primarily as participants in the process of innovation at each of its stages contributes to the opening of organization boundaries. The purpose of the article will be to present inter-organizational relations established by organizations applying the concept of open innovation on the Polish market. Research on a sample of 105 innovative enterprises was conducted through a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was developed based on a 5-point Likert scale. The aim of the study was to determine the type of relations, among others, in terms of their width and depth and measures used in the studies of Chesbrough, Vanhaverbeke and West; 2006).","PeriodicalId":382934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation and Business Best Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127609088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper analyses the impact of various factors against rating given for IT User Satisfaction in a bank. In retail banking, customer-facing employees need to provide service for simple or complex transaction, as well as financial advice. We found that IT user experience is influenced positively by the trust in organization willingness to change based on the user’s feedback as well as the support provided as helpdesk but negatively impacted by multiple application performance, stability issues or infrastructure performance, as part of the expected value of using IT as a job support tool. Qualitative-exploratory and quantitative research was performed using techniques as segmentation, decision tree or multinomial linear regression. Data analysis was performed on 608 survey responses out of a population of 3000 individuals. Transcript data collected during interviews was processed using natural language processing technics in Python in parallel to human driven classification to provide additional potential insight as part of content analysis phase (clustering of keywords based on tfidf vectors scores, extraction of most relevant words for clusters). We found that textual data are very powerful especially when using visualization but in general due limited corpus size and bias from selection process in interviews would be useful to collect more data, maybe from helpdesk system and email communication for IT support. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed through the lens of the Technology Acceptance Model to explain the impact of the main factors influencing the perception of the overall IT landscape.","PeriodicalId":382934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation and Business Best Practice","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127529528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The balancing process was mainly based on the Yamazumi Chart. The time consumption for individual operations was measured by direct measurement and, in the design stage, the system Basic MOST (method of indirect measurement of time consumption) was used.
