Rapid transformation of technologies and markets challenge organizations to build structures and norms that promote learning and innovation. Up until now, however, knowledge management has not been a common subject for investigation of university-industry collaboration in innovation projects. The few known studies have concentrated on the numbers of patents, spillovers and publications, or institutional...
Based on the unfolding model of voluntary employee turnover, this paper has investigated the influence of coworker turnover (CT) on stayer turnover intention (TI), the mediating effect of job satisfaction (JS) and the moderating effect of Self-perceived Employability (SPE) for stayer. Data has been collected from 259 employees came from 21 regions. By using hierarchical regression and bootstrapping,...
This paper proposes a demand-side pricing strategy to purchase regulation service. The demand-side regulation service has the advantage of lower cost and faster response to reduce the utility company's cost comparing with the traditional automatic generation control (AGC). Thus, it is necessary for the utility company to make a tradeoff between the demand-side regulation and the AGC to minimize the...

It is said by a famous Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma that which understands yourself the most is not your own but the computer. It is not difficult to find that the computers will always automatically recommend something for you. How do these things come from? It is the computer system which does the statistical analysis to your Internet habits, sorts out the content you may want to browse, and finally...
We present a dynamic security management framework where security policies are specified according to situations. A situation allows to logically group dynamic constraints and make policies closer to business. Situations are specified and calculated by using complex events processing techniques and security policies are written in XACMLv3. Finally, the framework is supported by a modular event based...
To solve the problem of predicting the service life of smart electricity meters, this paper proposes a life estimation method using the hypothetical model and field operation data. First, the hypothetical model is studied. Analyzing the influence of temperature, humidity and current on the operational reliability of electronic equipment, the reliability model of smart electricity meter with acceleration...
Considering different aspects of knowledge functioning, context is poorly understood in spite of intuitively identifying this concept with environmental recognition. For dynamic knowledge, context especially seems to be an essential factor of change. Investigation on the impact of context on knowledge dynamics or more generally on the relationship between knowledge and its contextual interpretation...
Companies willing to survive the numeric economy are forced to collaborate with each other in order to maximize their co-creation of value. This co-creation exists for many reasons: to sell and acquire information, goods and services, to optimize the quality of procedures, to improve security and privacy, etc. In this paper, we analyze and model value co-creation through three dimensions: the value's...
The increasing digitalization of business and society has led to drastic changes within companies. Nearly all enterprises are facing enormous challenges dealing with topics such as Industry 4.0/Industrial Internet. With the goal of supporting companies to handle these challenges and “move” in an Industry 4.0 environment, several frameworks or reference models already exist. Here, we share the results...
The article presents an approach to integrate a business process knowledge of Decision Support Systems. It concerns two major aspects of the system, i.e. the formalization of processes predefined in Business Process Modeling Notation, the reuse of a domain ontology, and the analysis of economic and financial information. The described approach is a continuation of the construction of the intelligent...
Today, large scale companies are receiving tens of thousands of feedback from their customers every day, which makes it impossible for them to evaluate the feedbacks manually. As sentiments expressed by the customers are vitally important for companies, an accurate and swift analysis is needed. In this paper, a hierarchical approach is proposed for sentiment analysis and further categorization of...
The goal of this research is to investigate the process of customer knowledge capturing, specifically knowledge coming from customers. We identified and classified tools and methods of capturing knowledge from customers. Both general tools from knowledge management and specialized ones from marketing research were considered. Besides, we aligned these tools and methods with the contextual factors...
Enterprise architecture supports a holistic approach used to optimize various activities of a company. Software development companies frequently use a popular agile approach, and the most popular agile methodology is Scrum. A sprint retrospective is a Scrum process which is supposed to enable self-development and improve communication among team members. Unfortunately, the reality is usually different...
The aim of this paper is to show the strengths and the weakness of process mining tools in post-delivery validation. This is illustrated on two use-cases from a real-world system. We also indicate what type of research has to be done to make process mining tools more usable for validation purposes.
According to the textbook [23], Scrum exists only in its entirety, where every component is essential to Scrum's success. However, in many organizational environments some of the components are omitted or modified in a way that is not aligned with the Scrum guidelines. Usually, such deviations result in missing the full benefits of Scrum [24]. Thereby, a Scrum process should be frequently inspected...
Code review is a key tool for quality assurance in software development. It is intended to find coding mistakes overlooked during development phase and lower risk of bugs in final product. In large and complex projects accurate code review is a challenging task. As code review depends on individual reviewer predisposition there is certain margin of source code changes that is not checked as it should...
Based on a systematic review of empirical studies about software components selection and usability techniques applied to a functional prototype, this article maps the functional and non-functional requirements of a components sharing network that aims to accelerate JavaScript software development. Results point out that integrating the development environment to a component search mechanism with...
Small companies have the potential to be agile, flexible and informal because they are usually formed by few members. This usually creates more synergy among these professionals because they tend to have more than a single role inside the company. With such role versatility, it is understandable that those professionals have to multitask/split their working hours among different kinds of demands:...
