Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice
Preprint / Working Paper
Weaver, M. Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice

Evaluating supply chain problems is important yet complex; with vast amount of research and practice using a simulation based approach. However, the least understood aspect of a simulation study is the critical step of ‘conceptual modelling’. This pa...

Developing meta-ethnography reporting guidance for research and practice
Report
Cunningham, M., France, E. F., Ring, N., Uny, I., Duncan, E. A. S., Roberts, R. J., Jepson, R. G., Maxwell, M., Turley, R. L., & Noyes, J. (in press). Developing meta-ethnography reporting guidance for research and practice. NIHR

Background:
Meta-ethnography is a commonly used methodology for qualitative evidence synthesis. Research has identified that the quality of reporting of published meta-ethnographies is often poor and this has limited the utility of meta-ethnography...

Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine. Edinburgh, Scotland

While most major research universities promote entrepreneurial approaches, few provide the resources, training, or career support to sustain a productive start-up environment and drive regional economic development.

These challenges are especially... Read More about Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine.

Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities.
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. Edinburgh, Scotland

Universities can drive entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially in high-value technology sectors. Nowhere is this more evident than in regenerative medicine (regenmed), which is centred on academic stem cell research.

Over the past three years, we’... Read More about Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities..

Circularity as a Systems Concept
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pokorna, K., Weaver, M., & Chipulu, M. (2024, September). Circularity as a Systems Concept. Paper presented at OR66 The Operational Research Conference, Bangor, UK

A critical management challenge is the move to circular design thinking. Moving away from the “take-make-consume-dispose” linear model of resource consumption (Rasi et al., 2023) to systems that are regenerative and restorative. This is necessary to...
