In order to exploit the value of human resources slack, this paper studies the impact of human resources slack on the product innovation of information technology firms. I develop a nonlinear U-shaped relationship model between human resource slack and product innovation, and subsequently test this model using samples of 34 Chinese firms. The empirical results show that human resource slack on the...
In the research, we investigate the role of diversification in the type of innovation strategy followed by incumbent firms in the IT industry. We setup a two-stage game theoretic model where, in the first stage, the incumbent decides whether to invest in R&D or acquire a pre-emptive stake in the entrant. In the second stage, the incumbent decides whether or not to acquire a successful entrant...
Industry clusters, which encompass a series of interconnected firms or heterogeneous firms in designated geographic concentrations, show competitive advantages for industrial development with substantial resources from the encouraged networks among firms, and then lead to the development of cluster innovation by information sharing and effective knowledge/technology transfer. In a word, the clustering...
The paper presents findings of a study of entrepreneurial start-up organisations in the ICT sector. The start-up organisations were co-located in a new business incubator managed by a university in the north-west of England. The study was aimed at understanding the factors and approaches that impacted the ability of the start-ups to manage customer development and, consequently, generate revenue....
Nowadays, innovations of technologies, products, and services occur interdependently. Moreover, the innovations are developed by various actors, not by a company alone. Due to the complexity of innovation ecosystem, companies have difficulties in managing and monitoring its complex and interdependent innovation ecosystem. In this manner, this paper suggests a comprehensive network named as “T-P-S...
This paper constructs the quantitative identified model of the software firm's life cycle stage based on the four-scale,and has the method of fuzzy mathematics as the study tool, has human capital,market share,revenue growth and technological innovation as four main research indices. First of all,it analyses the characteristics of these elements and builds their subjection degree based on four-scale...
International competition is becoming increasingly fierce, innovation is a key factor for the survival and development of enterprises. As to software companies based on technological innovation, it's a very important topic that how to evaluate and improve the technological innovation capability. According to the investigation on the characteristics of software companies' technological innovation,...
This paper sets up 53 actors' relation model, researches the basic characteristics and innovative capabilities of the cluster of the software industry in Guangzhou by using the method and the software of social network analysis based on the quantitative analysis of 53 actors. Last, the paper puts forward some suggestions for decision makers how to advance innovative capabilities of the cluster of...
In this article author points out requirement of Tech-Knowledge conformity, and regarding software enterprises as example defines Tech-Knowledge conformity, analyzes innovation flow and characteristics, and expounds elaborately Tech-Knowledge conformity modes and ways based on tech-innovation, and HR management ways promoting Tech-Knowledge conformity.
Based on deeply analyzing the situation of the IT industry chain of China, this paper takes dissipative structure theory and synergetics to analyze its evolution dynamic mechanism, and then constructs the evolution model to judge its evolution laws. Finally, this paper puts forward with innovation mechanism for the IT industry chain of China from five aspects including conception innovation, perspective...
When starting up firms, entrepreneurs will easily be in the situation of being away from predetermined goals or criteria. How entrepreneurs cope with errors is critical to the development of their firms. The research used the free software, Mx, and explored the error orientation of entrepreneurs in four industries, including IT and software, catering and hotel, machinery and parts, and construction,...
Entrepreneurial firms' actions can be easily away from the predetermined goals or directions when in developing, which are errors. It would be critical for surviving how the firms cope with those errors. Our research defined the error climate as a general tendency to errors of the employees. The research used the free software, Mx, and studied four industries, including IT and software, catering and...
This paper suggests a typology of convergence for digital contents service in an attempt to investigate the characteristics of service innovation. The convergence of digital contents service is identified as the recombination using the multi-source into a new innovative service. Thus, firstly, the structure of digital contents service is defined. Secondly, the typology of convergence for digital contents...
The process of New Product Development (NPD) involves several stages, each involving different problems. Efficiently solving these problems requires support from key component suppliers. This study, based on different levels of product complexity, classifies innovative products into two types, low complexity and high complexity, and uses Netbook PC (small notebook PC) as a case study to conduct a...
Knowledge is the dominant factor for IT corporation, knowledge creation and technology innovation can be achieved through the effective integration of various kinds of knowledge. The study analyzes the connotation and characteristic of knowledge integration for IT corporation. Then, it constructs knowledge integration management model system for IT corporation and discusses from three aspects, which...
The role of HP Labs, the central research arm of Hewlett-Packard, is to look beyond the roadmap of currently offered products and services and solve some exciting technical problems that will be critical to customers. The paper mentions that active collaboration with academic, commercial, and government partners augments and accelerates knowledge creation and technology transfer.
Since technological innovation is generally considered to be a major force in global economic growth, the development of innovative capabilities in developing countries has been a very important policy issue. Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) has reshaped software technology through the creation of developer/user communities which enabled the collaboration of different parties resulting in the...
Technological imbalances that emerge from the evolution of technological systems act as focusing devices and firms subsequently engage in closing the imbalances with product development efforts resulting in technology based competition. In this paper we empirically study the measurement of technological imbalances and in turn derive a framework that distinguishes between differing dynamics of technology...
This paper presents a theoretical and empirical comparison of quantitative innovation diffusion models with data from the software industry. Looking at some of the most widely used aggregate models, such as the Generalised Bass (1994) or the Kalish (1985) model, the inclusion of decision variables is compared to scientific groundings from innovation marketing, focusing on the analysis of their mathematical...
