This paper aims to provide a systematic analysis and formal presentation of high-level scenarios for the future development of Cognitive Radio business ecosystem. It uses the Intuitive Logics as a methodology for constructing four equally probable scenarios in a matrix at the intersection of two identified major uncertainties. The paper shows the importance of using high-level scenarios as a guiding...
Financial risk is a critical variable in forming enterprise's financial crisis, the cyclical showing of which is an objective law undecided by the will of people. Although financial risk identification is very important to enterprise, but there is still not an effective way. Combing with matrix identification principles, this paper puts forward a matrix model for enterprise to identify its financial...
This research studies multi-generation capacity planning problems under uncertainties. In high-tech industry, because of the frequent introduction of new production technology, capacity planners need to expand their facility while several technology options are available. Oftentimes, capacity of advanced technology can be used to produce products of lower technology. The partial flexibility of capacity...
Whether firms should use markets or produce internally has long been in academic debate. We construct a mathematical model and empirically analyze how firm reputation impacts transactions under China's transitional economy. We find that reputed firms prefer market transaction more than internal production since they can benefit from contracting in less cost with stakeholder s with their good reputations...
Today's online advertising contracts tie online advertising payments directly to campaign measurement data such as click-throughs and purchases. This paper applies the economic theory of incentive contracts to the study of these pricing models and provides potential explanations as to when and how CPC (cost-per-click-through) and CPA (cost-per-action) pricing models should be used. We argue that using...
Plant location is one of the most important strategic decisions on supply chain design. Existing literature emphasize on qualitative factors such as transport costs, exchange rates, labor rates etc. While there are existing models that capture qualitative variables, there is limited research linking these variables with measures of the firm's operational competitiveness and performance measurement...
This paper summarizes the uncertainty deriving from the environmental changes of science and technology park. And then referring to the study framework of real option theory, adopting discrete-time logistic model in the event history analysis, relying on the development context of Xi'an National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone and choosing a 17-year-old longitudinal enterprise data from the...
In order to analyze the innovation capability in the complex multiple-attribute environment, a novel approach, used to evaluate the innovation capability of home appliance manufacturers, is presented. Furthermore, based on the assumption of a relationship between specific resources managed by manufacturers and their innovation capability, the authors suggested a reasonable evaluation indicator system,...
This paper presents the problem of robustness controller design for the requirements of technological choice regulation. The uncertainty of technological choice regulation model is studied. The theory of robustness control is applied to the analysis of the above-mentioned model. Simulation results show that technological potential energy can increase in accordance with prediction object of the system...
In the preceding papers of analyzing the factors of effecting region economic development, the researchers mostly select some factors by subjective experience, then analyze positively the effect of the selected factors to economic development by econometric model. This paper applicant the theories of the rough set and entropy to analyze the data without subjective experience, so can get the conclusion...
In this paper, using real option pricing theory, the production or sales delocalization flexibility for multinational enterprises making decisions is modeled as exchange option under multifactor of uncertainty, such as stochastic exchange rate, labor costs or product price. The paper presents the option valuation of delocalization production or sale abroad and the optimal investment decision rules...
This paper discusses the manner in which cinema buildings of the 20th century represent both an important physical record of society, and a challenge in terms of representing a complex range of historical, cultural, economic and physical data sets.The paper provides an overview of visualisation techniques which are appropriate to the subject, and provides a case study taken from the city of Aberdeen...
This work reports real-time soft-error rate (SER) testing of semiconductor static memories in both altitude and underground environments to separate the component of the SER induced by the cosmic rays (i.e. primarily by atmospheric neutrons) from that caused by on-chip radioactive impurities (alpha-particle emitters). Two European dedicated sites were used to perform long-term real-time measurements...
To quantify the total life cycle environmental impacts of consumption, an economy-wide assessment of goods and services is conducted using the Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) model. This research includes an assessment of total ldquocradle to consumerrdquo impacts of consumption, utilization of US Environmental Protection Agencypsilas Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of...
