Facing increasing international competition and globalization, China has experienced two significant decades of economic development; more and more Chinese companies are striding across national boundaries. Nevertheless, the traditional technology innovation strategy characterized by imitation and secondary innovation has some strategic limitations under open innovation. Based on quantitative analysis of the status quo of Chinese firms' international innovation, this paper concludes that balancing explorative learning and exploitative learning is the key of competence, while coordination of innovation assets within the firm is the key of technological learning in developing countries under open innovation paradigm

For most organizations, the ability to deliver innovative solutions on a sustainable basis requires them to look within and to renew the fabric of the business itself. There are four important aspects of this internally-focused innovation: Culture - the mindset and norms that allow individuals and teams to think imaginatively, to take prudent risks, and to seek out, create and introduce innovative solutions ; Process - the general business processes and practices that enable functional groups to operate effectively and collaborate toward a common goal - as well as a robust set of innovation methodologies and tools; Structure - organizational structures and supporting technologies that enable collaboration across functional lines; Institution - the rules and regulations about enterprise's routine monument, performance evaluating, staff rewards and punishments, salary system, training and promotion. This paper mainly looked at the first aspect, based on the organization theory and the innovation theory of the firm, from an evolutionary perspective and a case study of Haier Group, addressed a model of coevolution of organizational culture, business process, organizational structure, institution, and technological innovation.

A survey of participants in the electron device industry has been conducted to better understand the differences between American and Japanese practitioners of competitive product and manufacturing process benchmarking and reverse engineering (CP/MPBRE). We have studied the responses of n = 221 survey participants who self-describe as new product and manufacturing process engineering practitioners. Consistent with the general literature on this topic, we observe that more Japanese than American engineers in the electron device industry engage in CP/MPBRE. However, expanding on the general literature, we find that, of those who do practice CP/MPBRE, American and Japanese practitioners in this industry do so comparably in terms of frequency of use and perceptions of value. We discuss the implications of these findings.

This paper first overviews the theory of regional technological innovation(RlS). Based on comparing and analyzing different evaluation system of regional technological innovation capability, a new index system is set up to evaluate the regional technological innovation capability including knowledge innovation capability, network innovation capability, enterprise technological innovation capability, innovation environment and innovation performance. After comparing different technological innovation capability of 31 provinces in China, this paper focuses on 21 innovation capability synthetic indicators of ZheJiang province from 2001 to 2003.The results shows that although the innovation capability of ZheJiang province is not very high, the government pays more attention to R&D input, patent application, scientific paper, S&T cooperation, basic innovation infrastructure, commercial environment and industry international competitiveness, all of those will influence directly improvement of long-term economic competition capability of ZheJiang province in the future.

Much of the current research into motivation and performance list things areas such as task variety and work autonomy as the main constituents and money is reduced to a hygiene factor in employee performance. However much of this conventional research has been carried out in the retail and manufacturing industries where much of the work is repetitive. How does this model fit for the new developing areas of professionals classed as 'knowledge workers', to which the profession of project management belongs where task variety and a high level of work autonomy already exists. This paper looks at one aspect of the survey carried out across the Consulting Business Group, Halcrow Group Ltd that of how the recognition scheme was perceived after its introduction by members. There is much evidence that contingently administered recognition schemes can be as powerful a reinforcement to increase employee performance as a part of a total reward model. Driven by this proposition, Consulting Business Group has been carrying out a pilot recognition scheme across all its 523 staff, over a 6 month period from April to September 2005, predominantly targeted at the staff in the UK and this report deals with the feedback from those staff and the underlying implications for knowledge workers such as project managers. We received 281 responses (Total staff number of 523) from 27 offices worldwide representing a return of 54% which means that the results of this survey are statistically relevant and can be said to represent the opinions of the business group. The overriding factor was that only 3% of this group of staff would be against us continuing this scheme and believe, despite the variety of viewpoints, philosophies and concerns, that it is a worthwhile initiative. However where the most interesting discrepancy was the way in which money was viewed rather than as a hygiene factor that the research had indicated it appeared to be a 'badge of status with implications for self-esteem and exercise of influence and directly related to work effort and job satisfaction. In fact they appear to use pay as a means of evaluating their net worth to both the organisation and the external labour market checking constantly for discrepancies between the two.

In this study, a model is developed and tested to evaluate E-innovation projects. The influencing factors are project strategy, feature of team, feature of team members, communication mechanism, process control, resources support, market feature and culture while the E-innovation performance are in terms of window of opportunity, financial performance and market share. We collect data via focused survey and questionnaires to nearly 50 E-innovation projects in China, and analyze these data through factor analysis and multiple regression. The results indicate that companies should pay more attention on three most significant factors-project strategy, market feature and culture, as they are the common influencing factors to the three dimensions of performance.

Global manufacturing network (GMN) is a new manufacturing system that has super manufacturing and servicing abilities. It is challenging traditional manufacturing conceptions. This paper describes and analyzes the driving forces of emergence of the concept of GMN, its evolution, members, and its theoretical bases. This paper also explores the knowledge transfer in the GMN, which consists of the mechanism and process of knowledge transfer in the GMN. Finally, the factors which contribute the knowledge transfer in the GMN are discussed.

This paper presents a multicriteria approach for the determining the proper location for a back-up transformer. Criteria such as: public health, local industrialization, the population of the area, and the distance are considered. When these criteria are taken into consideration, the best location is that which generates the least loss in maximizing the total utility, regarding the location of the back-up in a substation, taking into consideration the benefits of the back-up being in this place.

In the face of highly competitive markets and continuing pressure to reduce lead time and achieve quick customer response, more enterprises today consider supply chain management to be the key area where improvements can significantly impact the bottom line, but as the R&D, manufacturing, marketing and sales become entire global affairs, the basis of competition will no longer be between individual companies and their independent supply chains but between regional industrial clusters. In this paper, the supply chain system of cluster is discussed. So an agent-based system of cluster supply chain is designed to enhance the cluster supply chain management process. Moreover, multi-agent supply chain system architecture of cluster is provided.
