Firms interact in a "lattice-like" structure within an overall regulatory environment to develop emerging technologies in many high-technology industries. The authors propose that organizational issues at various levels of such a network organization need to be addressed for successful technology development to occur. These levels include the intra-firm level (within individual members), the inter-firm level (among members), and the institutional (overall regulatory framework) level.

Process selection is an important issue for manufacturers to increase their products' competitiveness. The paper applies two different methods to help a semiconductor manufacturer select a process among four alternatives based on their operational benefits. The first one is the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for making selection(s). The second is the operational competitiveness rating (OCRA) procedure for gauging the relative performance of operating units.

This paper explores the characteristics of the organization structures in concurrent product development in today's competitive markets. To be able to extract the most effective implementations the paper samples from the electronics industry in which product development cycles have been reduced significantly in recent years. Several case studies from the literature, and interviews with product managers from the electronics industry have been used.

A major issue in the management of virtual enterprises is the integration and coordination of the business processes. The successful attainment of the business goals of a virtual enterprise depends on its ability to align the business processes and practices of partner enterprises. This paper presents a modeling scheme which supports a process centered approach to the analysis and design of the virtual enterprise. An innovative feature of the scheme is the ability to present federated activity, process, business rule, organization, and resource views of a process.

The paper presents a framework of factors influencing information technology (IT) implementation in virtual enterprises. The framework is based on previous research on IT implementation, and field studies conducted in virtual enterprises. The aim is to increase the understanding of the implementation process in this organizational context, and the framework is intended as a basis for developing strategies for successful management of this process.

This paper describes the work of the Automation & Robotics Research Institute which has as its objectives the development of a set of business process templates and enterprise design methodologies for transforming enterprises to agility and forming virtual enterprises. Business processes in three categories are studied: those processes which transform external constraints into internal constraints; those processes which acquire and prepare resources; and those processes which use resources to produce enterprise results. Research in business process templates as well as supporting methodologies in three areas is being conducted: metric development, strategic justification, and agile business process configuration. This paper presents issues related to engineering the enterprise, relevant research results accomplished to date, and implications for future research.

Presents a case study providing the challenges involved in the development and commercialization of technology to detect fallen power lines on electric utility systems. Fallen high-voltage conductors are a significant safety hazard to the public and utilities have sought technology to detect fallen lines for decades. This technology represents a significant technical accomplishment, but the success of the project also depended heavily upon innovative solutions to significant marketing, risk management and technology transfer issues. This study provides insights which can be applied to other technologies which involve complex technical, marketing and risk management issues.

Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA) started 6 year project in 1981 to survey how to work at home (telework). The committee consisted of a dozen leading electronic apparatus manufacturers. Teleworking (TW) is not popular so far. Here is an analysis of the reason why it was unsuccessful and as well as recent change. The author was a member of the committee and the chairman in the latter 3 years.

Interest in the virtual corporation has grown because most firms cannot afford to develop high-level competencies in all of the areas required to be truly competitive. Specializing in a narrow area, and outsourcing the rest appears to offer significant leverage. There are tradeoffs, however. Profits earned by external suppliers are lost to the core organization. Value-added experience is lost when the relationship ends, and shared experience becomes available to competitors. It is difficult to accumulate the human capital of the knowledge era. There may not be sufficient momentum to support continuous improvement over the long run. For each gain, there is a loss. Each enterprise will have to decide for itself.

While the success of parallel new product development programs such as concurrent engineering is well documented, tlieir~focus on low cost and speed to inarket has rizeant that the bulk of what we k n o w ubout this approach relates to their effectiveness in the development of products which ~ O C L L S on iricrenierital product improvements. Little is known about their utility in projects which involve more “discontin~~ous ’’ innovation. This paper outlines several potential weaknesses of concurrent engineering practices when applied to more discontinuous innovations, and highlights a number of propositions which map out jiiture research questions in the area.
