In this economic globalization era, the FDI (foreign direct investment) coming from developing countries has already broken through the traditional "flying-geese" model. On the basis of the retrospect of traditional FDI theories and the comparison between flying-geese and leapfrog models, this paper studies the evolvement of developing countries' FDI strategy. The result indicates that the...
In this paper, the authors are using 1994-2003 panel data collecting from the U.S. and Japan R&D investment abroad in 32 host countries , analysis the location decisions of oversea R&D from the home country and the host country .We find there are different investment characters by the different home country whereas they have commonness. The technological capabilities of the host country are...
This paper makes an demonstration measure on the 31 provinces' technical validity and scale efficiency of the fixed-asset investment by using the model of C2R and C2GS2 of DEA. According to the results, the 31 provinces are divided into different types whose characteristics of fixed assets investment are pointed out and measures of improving the efficiency of investment are raised. Two conclusions...
President Hu Jintao set the transformation of economic development mode as the nation's new economic strategy in 2007 to replace the one formulated in 1995. This paper holds that the new economic development mode is essentially dependent on the innovative activities of entrepreneurs. By analyzing the inner connection between innovation and entrepreneurship and the transformation, this paper illustrates...
Based on assembly order, a new method for generating work breakdown structure was proposed on aircraft assembly scheduling, which can effectively improve fine control ability of assembly workshop. In the method, firstly, a three-layer unit partition model of assembly operation was established referring to the existing unit partition in assembly workshop, which refined foundation for assembly field...
Successful project development depends on the ability to integrate external and internal knowledge. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between knowledge integration and project performance in equipment industry. Therefore, 73 R&D projects of equipment industry in Northeast China are chosen as research samples. A theory model is constructed based on literature review, and...
When the heavy rainfalls or typhoons occurred, many counties were unavoidable to suffer the debris-flow and flood disasters in Taiwan. Therefore, it is urgently required to obtain and inform the real-time disaster information to display the situation, and it is important for people to design an effective disaster information system to assist the disaster protection and alerting works. To plan and...
The characteristics of the remote fault diagnosis (RFD) is analyzed, the levels of the diagnostic participators, diagnostic processes, system structure, and the responsibilities and obligations for founding and maintaining RFD system are pointed out. The multi-level RFD system with the local, remote and domain fault diagnosis subsystem is designed. The system fully accords with RFD's characteristics,...
ETL is a critical task performed at the early stages of a DW project. To solve heterogeneity problems of different data sources in the processes, this paper proposes a framework model for ontology-driven ETL processes by using semantic Web technologies and discusses how ontologies are used to support the data integration. The framework consists of four main phases: metadata abstract, ontology map,...
This paper discussed the meaning, transactions scale, character and development trend of the third party online payment. We analyse the sources of deposition funds and measure its scale. Based on the analysis of the scale, we analyse the possible investment channels of the deposition funds and its income trend. Considered with the status of income distribution, we point out advice of the deposition...
After the Ecuadorian crisis in 1999, the country showed deterioration in the economic, financial, social, and labor sectors. These conditions encouraged a significant number of the unemployed and sub-employed population to make the decision to migrate to other countries. This decision was taken basically in order to find new income sources. According to the Ecuadorian Foreign Affairs Ministry, there...
Most visual simulation systems are developed based on Vega. They are unable to make smooth operation because of large volume of data. In this paper, some key techniques about how to optimize the 3D scene model are proposed in order to improve the operating efficiency of the visual simulation system. Including simplifying the 3D model, cutting down the data stream of texture, techniques for creator...
With the rapid development of network scale, the current SNMP network management model has not been able to meet requirements. Therefore, a new kind of management system and strategy must be provided to enhance the reliability and performance of the network management. This article discusses problems existed in traditional network and analyses the management system structure and management mechanism...
In order to overcome the defects of traditional-method filtering which based on keywords, the OWL text filtering is presented in the semantic Web environment, which makes information filtering, has been raised to the level of semantics. Through distinguishing the information between the title and text, and then calculating the semantic similarity of semantic, using the integrated filtering methods,...
Assembly sequence planning plays an important role in the product development process. It is an important factor that determines quality and cost of the product assembly. Cost in assembly can be reduced by the implementation of generating automatic product assembly sequences, and selecting the optimum sequence in product assembly process. Assembly sequence planning (ASP) is combinatorial problem....
This paper presents the theory of dynamic sequential auctions which can be used for pricing and inventory control in online auction. Most theoretical treatments of auctions have assumed that buyers have unit demand, which didn't conform to the real state. We characterize this model when a seller with C units to sell by the way of sequential auctions faces a finite time horizon T, buyers in each period...
In our country, application of e-government based on the homemade platform is seldom, government support homemade platform application positively all along, But the current problem is that the homemade software and hardware is not mature, they are not compatible each other, this paper passed through combines, test, optimization repeatedly, finally has formed an e-government application platform based...
Flexible organization of functions and software reuse are now becoming the focus issues in theoretical research and application in the field of decision support system for emergency management (DSS4EM). The metadata and its evolution process are introduced and summarized in this paper. And then, a metadata-based flexible function model (MBFFM) for DSS4EM is presented. Finally, function, structure,...
Electronic marketplaces represent new places where supply and demand aggregate and negotiations take place. New opportunities and rapidly changing environment of electronic marketplaces lead to the need of more sophisticated negotiations to support various trades. Automated negotiation is one of the most popular and promising technologies to perform such task and will be a vital part of electronic...
