Enhancing value cocreation orientation in service innovation: a new service development and service design integrated process by João Francisco da Fontoura Vieira, Márcia Elisa Soares Echeveste, Maria Auxiliadora Cannarozzo Tinoco, Arthur Marcon, Érico Marcon, Fernando Henrique Lermen

“…After applying and evaluating the model, this study provides evidence that (i) hybrid waterfall-cyclic dynamic contributes to managing complexity in service innovation, while maintaining customer focus and creativity; (ii) recurring studies of customer needs in distinct service innovation phases, each focusing on a specific service element, contribute to enriching the understanding of such needs; (iii) active customer involvement in proposing and selecting each service prerequisites across service innovation phases tends to enhance resource integration and value cocreation; (iv) waterfall and cyclic hybrid approach for service innovation contributes to generating detailed service prerequisites specifications, leading to more effective implementation; and (v) customer-centered dynamics throughout the service innovation process contribute to promoting cross-departmental integration, embedding customer needs across the organization. …”

Study on Air Quality Index, Atmospheric Pollutants and Dry Deposition of PCDD/Fs in the Ambient Air near Southwest China by Xueyan Liu, Kangping Cui, Yen-Kung Hsieh, Ya-Fen Wang, Ruoxin Wang

“…In addition, since O3 concentrations were influenced by the VOCs–NOx ratio, the reduction of NOx emissions and the increase of VOC emissions during the epidemic control period caused a change in the VOCs–NOx ratio, and thus leading to an increase in O3 concentrations. The monthly average concentration of O3 from March 2021 to May 2021 was significantly lower than that of 2020. …”
