With the globalization of world economy, China's electronic industry market uncertainty also increases. Real option theory is of great help for electronics industry investment risks and uncertainties in question. Since the 1990s, the real option theory in the United States began to rise. This paper first introduces real option theory and its development are briefly reviewed, then using this theory...
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. DEA-based Malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. The Malmquist productivity index based on DEA can be decomposed into two components: efficiency change index and technical change index. Through utilizing the principle of isoquant,...
This paper presents a multi-attribute group decision making method to the supplier selection problem. An analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method is used to weight the weighting and alternatives. Three MADM methods-SAW, WP and TOPSIS are used for synthetic decision. This paper formulates the equipment supplier selection process in the semiconductor industry as an MADM problem, and presents suitable...
The digital home electronics industry has emerged as a result of development of telecommunication, home entertainment, and remote control technology during the past decade. Most leading countries in the information technology (IT) industries (i.e. South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) intended to develop the digital home electronics industry as the next dominant industry for sustain the growth of nations' wealth...
This paper proposes a reliability management method for new electronics development under fast time-to-market requirements. We approach the reliability growth across the product life cycle from design, manufacturing, assembly, and field operation in the context of distributed manufacturing paradigm. The management method consists of three modules including corrective actions, reliability prediction,...
Despite the fact that convergence of technologies is seen as a major driver of change in many industry settings, the phenomenon has remained largely unexplored in the academic management field. The citations data of patents have been used to get an idea of the stage of industry emergence in the context of the paper and electronics industry. Patent data was collected from the 87 main players operating...
One important aspect of reverse logistics is to have a correct and timely estimation of return flow of material. Improved forecast accuracy can lead to a better decision making in strategic, tactical and operational areas of the organization. Very little research has been done about the forecasting aspect of reverse logistics. For higher forecast accuracy, more robust method is required. The methodology...
For advancement of emerging technologies, financial and human resources have been invested for a few decades as the technologies become more important to ensure a nation to stay competitive in the world market. However, if emerging technologies do not develop despite huge investment, it would cause a huge national loss. Therefore, it is necessary to predict future of the emerging technology for reduction...
After many yearspsila research, circular economy is the best way to accomplish sustainable development. Recycling economy is based on enterprises, which is to recycle the domestic waste product. However, the reverse-logistics is one of the ways to reuse waste products. In china, the reverse logistics was paid attention. From the perspective of the society, good reverse logistics can be effective in...
This study treated 624 listed companies of non-finance and non-insurance industries in Taiwan, and analyzed the relation between derivative financial product hedging and corporate characteristics, as well as the factors influencing hedging decision-making and hedging tool selection. This study is based on event history analysis to deal with the issues of restricting, equivalence and discrete time...
This paper utilized fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to explore the differences of green supplier selection among the American, Japanese and Taiwanese electronics industry in China. In this study, identification of criteria of green supplier selection is categorized into six criteria and 24 sub-criteria, a multi-criteria decision model is proposed. FAHP then is applied to determine the relative...
The central issue of this paper is uncertainty in decision making of reverse logistics operations. Based on a literature review, we develop a conceptual model classify uncertainty in decision. Then, we use a structured, two-stage approach to develop a multi-item scale and explore the relationship among uncertainties. In the first stage, by drawing upon the literature as well as extensive interviews...
An extensive body of research suggests that an organizationpsilas ability to achieve its goal is a function of the congruence between various components. Following the concept ldquostructure follows strategyrdquo, this study suggested that suited strategy-structure fit should enhance pos-acquisition technological performance for the high tech firms. Further, this study also wishes to examine effects...
Facing the era of micro-profit, business making profit and gaining the competitiveness are getting more difficult. Therefore, the cooperation among businesses is the trend in nowadays. Based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and grey forecasting model (GM), this study proposes a new decision making approach to resolve the issues of strategic alliance. The objective of this research is to provide...
Wafer fabrication or "fab" simulation models are often used to assist the daily running of wafer production. Their main uses have been focused on testing production scenarios, to estimate cycle times, quote delivery times to customers, or test operational policies such as lot dispatching rules and material handling systems scheduling policies. Fab technologies sometimes stay in demand for...
The conditions of global competition are becoming more difficult in all the industries. All companies are competing with global and local rivals. Suppliers have played a crucial role for companies to outperform their rivals in competitive markets. This increases the importance of the supplier evaluation and selection process which is a multi-dimensional decision making process containing various variables,...
In recent years, technology valuation has been seen as an important decision-making mechanism for high-tech business. It involves not only technical steps of valuation (for instance, financial engineering) but also the strategic management of a technology. Unfortunately, the academic concept of technology valuation has not been explored scientifically until recently. This paper is designed to help...
In this paper, we present a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (FMCDM) approach to evaluation of account receivable (A/R) collection instruments. By considering the prepayment, the letter of credit (L/C), the documentary collection (including D/A and D/P), and the open account (O/A), the FMCDM approach is for the first time applied to investigate the A/R collection for the microelectronics and...
Manufacturers in the electronics industry are faced with product shelf life counted in months (Goeing, 2004). Traditionally, this has made it very difficult to make a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a product, since the product would be obsolete by the time the LCA was completed. New concepts in LCA allow specialists in things other than LCA to rapidly create both a model and generate "what-if"...
The aim of this paper is to construct a practical methodological framework on how to implement the environmental accounting information to aid the decision-making for the environmentally conscious design and end-of-life management of cellular phones, highlighting the social impact and economic drivers behind the environmental performance within the electronics industry. Given the critical issues and...
