Nowadays, “Social dynamics” may no longer be fashionable but its core principles (culture, norms, practices attitude, value and behavioral systems) have become the paradigm for many organizations. Combining normative and critical theory with empirical material drawn from literature studies, the research argues that social dynamics can underpin competitive advantage if the firm is able to appropriate...
Collaboration is generally a useful technique for creating new businesses and developing products. Collaboration can gets market needs and acquires the resources, for example technologies, knowledge, secret information, funding, and networks. This paper proposes a Middle Mediator Model (MMM) that facilitates cooperation. The authors examine a case study that was achieved by a middle mediator in which...
The complex interaction between science and technology provide a great need to forecast emerging technologies and tools for strategic R&D management. In case of emerging technologies use of science and patent indicators have been used on the forecasting studies. This paper aims to analyze the development of wind energy technologies. Research material is based on the patents and financial data...
The real option models have been developed vigorously by many researchers and been applied in kinds of fields since 1970s. Meanwhile, the traditional real option models usually considered only one kind of risk and ascribe the other risk conditions to market price. Actually, there is definitely not only one risk condition in any project. Especially in new technology development which is aim to substitute...
In this paper, we propose the spectrum pricing model based on the notion of marginal value and estimate the spectrum value for 800 MHz spectrum bandwidths for the cellular Korean mobile telecommunications markets in Korea. The goal of this study is to develop a spectrum pricing model for estimating the spectrum price for the Korean spectrum situation and then to obtain spectrum pricing for 800 MHz...
Most enterprises are trying to expand their business, hence aiming to increase turnover and profit. The challenge is to win potentially profitable contracts and to “create value” to best serve the needs and expectation of customers and other stakeholders. A second challenge is to establish an ongoing process of “capability and capacity expansion” in the enterprise to improve long-term sustainability...
In today's increasingly global and knowledgebased economy, competitiveness and growth depend on the ability to keep pace with the seeds of innovation in science and swiftly develop technological applications. Planners or managers of scientific and technological research must grasp broader research coverage, and make decisions on effective investment in promising and emerging technologies especially...
For the successful management of materials innovations, it is essential to consider the relationship and interactions between science and technology in materials. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the research on the gap between scientific output (papers) and technological output (patents) in materials. This paper aims to identify the relationship between science and technology...
This paper discusses how the customer understanding is created and spread among the organization in knowledge-intensive life science companies. The case company in the analysis is a diagnostic company and customers are hospital and private laboratories (business-to-business context) and also key opinion leaders. Research methods used in the study were qualitative face-to-face interviews and literature...
Industrial cluster is a form of economic organization which is sited between bureaucracy and market, which plays a critical role in regional, national and even global economic. The development of industrial clusters in China has become a subject of international interest, while the West's industrial cluster theory seems no longer suitable in the context of Chinese transitional economy. Since the role...
The main objective of this study is to find relationships among IP management strategies, innovative outputs and firms' performance. In measuring the effect of IP management strategies, we investigated firms in Korean manufacturing industries focusing on the relationship between IP management strategies and financial performance after categorizing the level of IP management. Our empirical results...
Technology license markets play important roles as the intermediaries which connect technology licensors and licensees in the fast-changing and technology-oriented business environment. We consider a technology licensing problem by focusing on the competition and the cooperation under license contract between a technology licensor and multiple licensees. By agreeing on the license contract, both parties...
During the development of software products, there are some factors impacting over the process. Innovation level of the product, identification level of the requirements, competence level of project manager, customer participation, and preliminary preparations are identified as important factors influencing the product development process. This study exposes the impacts of these destructive factors...
The objectives of this research are to propose the new guideline to identify potential solar power plant and to develop a decision support system for solar power plant site selection. The method is intended to combine both qualitative and quantitative variables based upon environmental friendly in life cycle thinking which Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) model is applied. This approach...
As a scale of the IS (Information System) becomes larger and level of dependence in creases, it becomes more important to examine and prevent potential risk factors that would occur during the development or operation process. Korean government introduced IS audit system in 2006 for stable development and efficient management. According to this law, every company who develop program for any Korean...
With the rapid development of Customer-to-customer E-Commerce in China, a large number of small- and medium-sized logistics companies (SMLCs) has emerged, which focus on highway transportation between cities. In particular, the co-loading method and the door-to-door service are usually used by SMLCs to further improve profit margin and customer satisfaction. In practice, many SMLCs cannot achieve...
This paper introduces an awareness of web accessibility for an organization's end user needs. The functionality of the Internet must be implemented to accommodate audiences with disabilities and disseminate the attributes of web technology used to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Restoration Act of 1998 and the 21st Century and Video Accessibility Act passed by President Obama in 2008...
Traditional HDM (hierarchical decision model) methods use mainly the mean values to aggregate the opinions of the experts and get the rankings of candidates as the decision result. The HDMV (hierarchical decision model voting) method uses voting method with the hierarchical decision models to facilitate the voters making decisions and get the voter's proportion as the result.
This research explores two entrepreneurial decision-making processes utilizing effectuation and causation modes in the context of new venture creation in the biotechnology industry. Using a case study approach, we investigate the evolution of three biotech ventures from the start of the venture, featuring major decisions over a period of 10 to 20 years. Assessment of qualitative interviews with founders...
A pre-feasibility study on government R&D programs, which was introduced in 2008 by Korean government, performs in a comprehensive and systematic way: not only economic analysis, but also technological and policy analyses have been included in the analysis framework. Among the criteria, a provision against risk factors is crucial one, because poorly prepared programs are prone to fail, extend...
