Strategy maps are attracting considerable interest in strategic planning due to their capacity to represent causal-effect relationships among the key concepts. Several studies have used expert estimates to quantify the relationships. However, these evolve dynamically and are context-specific. Therefore, there is a need to develop automatic knowledge acquisition systems. Here, the assumption was used...
A successful innovative strategy can keep the predominance of company in the market of fierce competition, and high-level human capital can realize the enhancement of corporate performance, thus the clarifying of the interactive mechanism of innovation strategy and human capital on firm performance becomes particularly important. Data for this study were collected from 197 listed companies out of...
This study first examine the SMEs Transition of ODMs in Taiwan, highlighting the challenges executive face between Taiwan and Mainland China for better competitive strategy. Next, we introduce some of the ODM strategies using the division of innovation labor from the SEM in Taiwan and describe how they can play a role in overcoming the challenge in the global market. This study is the first to shed...
Enterprises clusters have been the subject of growing attention based on the role they play in the knowledge-based economy. The geographic concentrations of enterprises are thought to promote innovation through frequent interactions and information flows. Both local linkages and global pipelines offer particular, albeit different, advantages for the technology innovation and knowledge creation within...
In a previous publication (Inventions and Innovation: A Case Study in Metalsrdquo Key Engineering Materials, Vol. 380, 2008) we were able to distinguish four stages of a long life cycle for specific commodities as well as offer a method for correlating innovation with patent activity. In this study, we extend the number of systems studied. The present study builds on the model proposed earlier for...
Retailing running to high-value-added-end is a more visible trend, which attracts lots of attention from researchers or practitioners. This paper tries to explain this with the theory of Global Value Chains(GVCs). After literature review on GVCs and innovation strategy, this paper analyzes the global value chains of 7-11, IKEA, Wal-Mart and PPR separately. Then some comparisons is done to analyze...
Literature on project portfolio management (PPM) has been escalating as interest has intensified. The surge of interest has been attributed to the increased importance of technological innovation and the recognition that successful innovation depends upon effective selection and management of the new product development (NPD) project portfolio.

Most of the incumbents is running their businesses based on a few "cash cow" services. The introduction of new telecommunications services seems not to follow the same rate...
Models of competition in innovative and standard-based industries have advanced considerably in recent years. Two terms that have become important competitive considerations are dominant designs and industry standards. This paper describes the potential for confusion between dominant designs and industry standards and attempts to clearly delineate between them. The role of standards is narrowly driven...
Clusters perform differently. Many studies have focused on the competitiveness and strategy, among which the GEM (Groundings-Enterprises-Markets) model is quite favored in practice though with some intrinsic drawbacks, i.e., heuristic, simple and general. By analytic hierarchy process (AHP), detailed and weighted indicators through SPSS analysis and a special cluster, we try to overcome the defects...
