Dynamic capabilities are meant to cope with environmental changes, and since the changes happen more often and speed to market is increasing, then the ability to identify corresponding capabilities quickly is becoming extremely important. This study investigates the agility aspect of capability development in a qualitative setting on the basis of four large information and communication technology...
Internet company valuation has long been considered as a big challenge due to uncertainties. In this paper, a real option analysis framework is proposed to evaluate the value of Internet companies. The proposed framework consists of four steps: strategic analysis, uncertainty analysis, option identification and option analysis. Relative to traditional valuation methods, this proposed analysis framework...
Sustainable operation of agricultural insurance companies is crucial for the sustainable development of agricultural insurance in China, and whether agricultural insurance companies can operate sustainably is fully reflected in their operating performance. Grey correlation analysis is a method that can do effective treatment for "small sample", "little data", "uncertainty",...
The study shows that there are basically two groups of complexities that can be found in development projects. 1) Complexities that inherent in the project and its environment such as a demanding client, or very large number of end-users, novelty, multiplicity of technologies, uncertainty, complexity of interface, diversity of need and so forth, 2) Complications or complexities associated with the...
The authors give a critical review and the analysis of possible implementation of Williamson's transaction cost theory. In the first part, they consider the characteristics of participants' behavior in transactions, notion of transaction, transactional costs and the warranty of contractual regulation. The main part of the work includes the dimensional analysis: uncertainty, role of fixed mobility...
The construction industry has many underlying causes and factors of uncertainty that impact on project completion schedule and time management. Uncertainties in design, procurement, operation and environmental issues are the major sources in construction project that should be managed. Most of researchers proposed a modelling and simulation techniques to solve these uncertainties problem nevertheless...
Projects often consist with members with different values that may cause conflicts within the team causing decrease in members' motivation, involvement, and cohesiveness. In our experiences with off shoring Japanese software development projects to China, we were having difficulties with low quality deliverables and high turnover rate of Chinese members because of social differences. Our attempts...
As environmental awareness increases, buyers today are learning to purchase goods and services from suppliers that can provide them with low cost, high quality, and at the same time, with environmental responsibility. The main purpose of this paper focuses on a fuzzy mathematical nonlinear programming approach to model a low carbon supply chain ordering decision problem with fuzzy demand, allowable...
This paper proposes a multicriteria decision making (MCDM) framework for supplier selection under the interval - valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. In this MCDM problem, the decision-maker (DM) selects the best supplier by ranking alternative suppliers. This ranking is based on the suppliers' performance on and assigned weights to the criteria. The proposed model uses intuitionistic fuzzy assessment...
The common fraud events between the public accounting firm and the audited enterprise have occurred frequently, coupled with the lack of supervision and punishment, so that the quality of accounting information is constantly seriously questioned by the public. In this paper, I establish the principal-agent model of uncertainty and without supervision between the accounting firm and enterprise by making...
Many companies face today a dilemma of “double unknown” when deciding where to put their research dollars: ignorance of which one among many possible technologies is most likely to emerge and similar ignorance of which one among many possible applications will most likely be a driver for the technology. Generic technologies are widely recognized to be beneficial for various market applications ([Bresnahan,...
Developing a software product with a high level of quality that also meets budget and schedule is the main goal of any organization. This usually implies making tradeoffs among conflicting aspects like number of features to implement, user perceived quality, time-to-market, and the ability of the company to maintain and improve the system in a feasible way in the future (aka, managing Technical Debt...
This research focus on co-opetition dynamics had a positive effect on service innovation, and influence on innovation performance and firm performance also. We proposed several antecedents as our variables and based on service-dominant logic (SDL), service innovation, resource based view, co-opetition theory. We suggested that co-opetition dynamics had a positive effect on service innovation, innovation...
Trustworthiness especially for service oriented system is very important topic now a day in IT field of the whole world. There are many successful E-commerce organizations presently run in the whole world, but E-commerce has not reached its full potential. The main reason behind this is lack of Trust of people in e-commerce. Again, proper models are still absent for calculating trust of different...
This work presents an evaluation of the new time-of-use tariff that is being implemented in the Brazilian electricity distribution segment, called White Tariff (WT). It is a three band tariff and is applied to low voltage consumers, who can choose to migrate to the new tariff. The assessment is in the context of expansion projects. The main question answered in the paper is about the possibility and...
Service systems consider the co-creation of values in a process between provider and con¬sumer with a win-win situation for both. Service-Dominant Logic demands a new view on eco¬nomic activities where competences of provider and consumer are the most important re¬source for value creation. Given these assumptions, we investigate whether costs in a service system shall be accounted in a different...
How can firms use social media environments (SMEs) to create productive ideas within an extended organization particularly if customers do not have strong identification with the company? How can firms control heterogeneous social media users to achieve organizational goals? These questions are important as the prevailing literature on SME assume that firms can exert little control over individuals'...
This study is about the capability portfolio development and how the market influences capability development in technology companies. New capabilities can be developed either a proactive way or adapting with the market changes. Alliances, which help in new product development, can co-evolve in a similar vein. This study extends prior findings to ICT industry context and identifies which way is longitudinally...
Developments in supply chain management have dramatically increased within the past few years to cover a wide range of cross-disciplinary topics that have utilized a number of heuristic analyses and quantitative modeling tools. With significant developments in both technologies and business marketing environments, a service system is required that can work optimally even under complex, globalised...
Rapid innovation of products by manufacturers reduces the life cycle of the current product due to frequent introduction of new version of product to the market. Manufacturers dealing with these innovative products face problems to forecast the demand from customer, thus increase the cost of carrying the inventory of such products. Generally, this drawback is observed in highly demanded product, such...
