These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 10th European Conference on Intangibles and Intellectual Capital (ECIIC 2019), held at the University of Chieti-Pescara on 23-24 May 2019. The conference is supported by SIDREA - the Italian Society of Accounting and Economia Aziendale (http: //www.sidrea.it/) and is organized by the Department of Management and Business Administration (https: //www.dea.unich.it/) headed by Professor Michela Venditti. The Conference Chair is Prof. Massimo Sargiacomo who was assisted by an organizing committee comprised of university professors and lecturers (Gianluca Antonucci, Christian Corsi, Antonio D'Andreamatteo, Francesco De Luca, Armando Della Porta, Manoel De Nicola, Daniela Di Berardino, Tiziana Di Cimbrini, Antonio Gitto, Lea Iaia, Luca Ianni, Lorenzo Lucianetti, Stefania Migliori, Ida Verna). PhD students from Accounting, Management and Business Economics (www.ambe.unich.it) at the University G.d'Annunzio of Chieti-Pescara also supported the organizational committee. ECIIC is a well-established event on the academic research calendar and in its 10th year the key aim remains the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet the people who hold them. The scope of papers will ensure an interesting two days. The subjects covered illustrate the wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research. The opening keynote presentation is given by Prof. Martin Piber from the Leopold-Franzens-Universität, Innsbruck, Austria on the subject Managing (Intangibles) in times of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity). The second day of the conference will open with a keynote by Dr. John Dumay, from the Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia on the topic of 25 Years since Skandia: Critical reflections and projections. There will be an afternoon plenary Round Table Discussion led by Prof John Dumay, Prof Rosa Lombardi (SIDREA Secretary), University of Rome "La Sapienza", Prof Stefano Marasca (SIDREA President), Marche Polytechnic University, Prof Martin Piber, University of Innsbruck and Prof Stefano Zambon (NIBR General Secretary), University of Ferrara, on the topic of Doing Research on Intangibles and Intellectual Capital: New Frontiers, Challenges and Future Scenarios. With an initial submission of 96 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 40 Academic research papers, 3 PhD research papers and 3 work-in-progress papers published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Finland, Indonesia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland and the USA.

These proceedings represent the work of presenters at the 3rd European Conference on Intellectual Capital (ECIC 2011). The Conference is hosted this year by the University of Nicosia in Cyprus.

This book covers a variety of topics in the field of mechatronics engineering, with a special focus on innovative control and automation concepts for applications in a wide range of field, including industrial production, medicine and rehabilitation, education and transport. Based on a set of papers presented at the 1st International Conference “Innovation in Engineering”, ICIE, held in Guimarães, Portugal, on June 28-30, 2021, the chapters report on cutting-edge control algorithms for mobile robots and robot manipulators, innovative industrial monitoring strategies for industrial process, improved production systems for smart manufacturing, and discusses important issues related to user experience, training and education, as well as national developments in the field of mechatronics . This volume, which belongs to a three-volume set, provides engineering researchers and professionals with a timely overview and extensive information on trends and technologies behind the future developments of mechatronics systems in the era of Industry 4.0.

The purpose of this book is our material to develop the next edition of the book and can be a reference for the public, practitioners and academics. This book contains all aspects related to human capital and the organizational environment. Basically, the preparation of this book is also a discourse for us to always learn and have an optimistic view of looking ahead that there is always a way to achieve success, one of which is by utilizing the right human capital.
