Knowledge diffusion process is influenced by many factors, such as distance, technology proximity, time and language and so on. In our research, we choose the IPC “B82B” as the target subject to learn how these factors work using patent citations as the substitute of know flows. The data used in this paper comes from Derwent Innovation Index (DII). We find that knowledge diffusion present a trend...

Due to the characteristics of construction projects such as only one time establishment, big investment scale, complicated structure and high energy consumption in operation process, the cost management theories and methods of construction projects are different from other general products. This paper proposes to apply VE to the total life cycle of construction projects, and also proposes a dynamic...
Both the depth and breadth needed in engineering education today can be addressed even before students enter engineering courses. This is particularly significant for English-medium engineering programs in countries where English is a foreign language. This paper describes how, with an ecological perspective, the environment of engineering education can be incorporated in an intensive English program...
We propose a procedure for applying a teaching-learning methodology, where the student's interest is considered a relevant issue. This procedure is based on: a) resources and material available; b) specific classroom, activities; c) external classroom activities, linking the learning process with the real world; d) continuous evaluation. The full process is evaluated from both points of view: teaching...
A free trade zone (FTZ) or a export processing zone (EPZ) is an area where some traditional trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas are eliminated and bureaucratic requirements are lowered in order to attract more business and foreign investments. In this paper, eco industry theory is applied to a FTZ named Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone (WFTZ) in a unique city Shanghai to look for its sustainable development...
As a new branch of management techniques, “Relay Technology” mainly focuses on the transitional steps in the process of a project management. It has practical significance on the house decoration projects that have many interconnected processes. By investigating two groups of similar house decoration projects, one with the Relay Technology implemented and one without, we found that the application...
This paper develops a general framework under Dempster-Shafer theory for assessing fraud risk in a financial statement audit by integrating the evidence pertaining to the presence of fraud triangle factors (incentives, attitude and opportunities), and evidence concerning both account-based and evidence-based fraud schemes.

This paper stated the impact of the application of the analytic hierarchy process (referred to as the AHP) factors on construction project bidding. In order to eliminate subjective factors on the results of the tender, indicators (program) is obtained by pairwise comparing the importance of the weight of each index, and determine the pros and cons of each program sort. Finally the evaluation and determination...
This paper briefly outlines proposals for the seabed mining of rock phosphate deposits on the Chatham Rise, some 240 nautical miles offshore and in ∼ 400 m water depth. An outline of the proposed mining method is presented, along with some of the key issues that arise with the proposal.

This paper explore how Taiwan wireless communication subcontractor improve inter-organization knowledge learning from his customer through dedicated supply network investment and specific location investment, commonly named VMI (Vendor Managed inventory) and RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization). The results show, dedicated supply network investment redirect knowledge flow direction and specific...
Globalization enables many high-tech manufacturing firms to have more reverse logistics demand; reverse logistics is further complicated when operating in a multinational setting. High-tech manufacturing firms thus must have an adequately large in-house fleet size as well as warehousing and advanced IT management systems to accommodate this unpredictable and large demand in reverse logistics. This...
