This paper examines the differences in management innovation (MI) of non-state owned enterprises (NSOEs) in different sizes. We argued based on our empirical research that small, medium size, and large NSOEs will confront red flags of foundation, decision, and bureaucracy, respectively. The NSOEs should choose the patterns of managerial approach innovation, decision-making mode innovation, and business culture innovation, correspondingly.

This paper presents the enterprise cooperative innovation schedule control structure, which is a highly agile and autonomous control paradigm based on multi-agent consisting of multiple intelligent units called "agent". It can both guarantee the quick circulation and exchange of control information, and provide the efficient control and negotiation mechanism. Enterprise cooperative innovation (ECI) is the temporary action of distributed, autonomous and cooperative member enterprises (MEs) that have the typical features of "agent". Based on the characteristics analysis of ECI control structure, this paper discusses the structure function and the schedule control information transferring process of it and proposes the basis supporting platforms of implementing project schedule control in ECI. The disturbance factors of influencing project schedule and its control strategies are then discussed. To eliminate the schedule deviation caused by member enterprises exiting, the negotiation model of seeking a substitute enterprise is presented and validated by using a simple example.

The premise of this research is the development of a model that will assist management in the selection of team members to projects based on the ability to fit individual cognitive style as closely as possible to the project goal(s). The paper presents background information on cognitive styles and fuzzy logic with an algorithm developed based on belief in the fuzzy probability of a cognitive style fitting a defined goal. An application is presented and conclusions are stated.

Empirical study on the evolutionary process of dominant capabilities of non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs) is made out in this paper. It is examined that the dominant capabilities underlying the competence vary in the stages of enterprise growth. The results of study indicate that entrepreneur's innovation capability is one dominant capability in the growth phase, marketing capability and human resource management capability are dominant capabilities in mature phase, while guarantee capability for system and funds are the dominant ones in decline phase. Learning capability runs through the whole evolutionary process, and it is the foundation of the other capabilities.It's suggested that NSOEs should adjust their structure of capabilities through uninterrupted learning according to practical condition of enterprises in practice. And the NSOEs should actively cultivate their dominant capabilities in different stages so as to form competence. It is important for NSOEs to gain competitive advantages and realize sustainable development.

Product platform and technology platform are the instrumental tools for high-tech enterprises to develop and produce new products in the development of modern industry. And patent, as one of core technology resources, is of utmost importance to the development of high-tech enterprises. If the enterprise can integrate patent strategy and platform strategy, they can gain competitive advantages of technological leap, technological innovation and technology transferring on space. This will enhance the core competence of high-tech enterprises.

This paper briefly describe what is risk and risk management. It then explains the major categories of risk drivers and proposes a 3-model framework to assess these risks. Depending on the need, these 3 models could be used independent for different projects or concurrently within the same project.

By analyzing the characteristics of intellectual employees and the structural features of their psychological contracts, this article puts forward the necessity of utilizing psychological contract as a means of motivation. Managers should focus on the psychological contract, and adopt a dynamic motivation system on the basis of the harmonious psychological contracts. Moreover, this article also sets up a comprehensive motivation model with the same base, and the proposal to establish commitment-focused incentives. If the psychological contract between employees and their employers can be kept, consolidated, revised and developed all the time, the various motivation methods can be effectively integrated, and employees' innovation ability will be virtually stimulated.

Due to a variety of products and full of competition in women's wear industry apparel company was poor at forecasting market requirement, difficult to carryout and manage various questions in the process of market test. Therefore, we proposed a kind of market test model of new product on women's apparel by optimization technique. Performances of our model were evaluated using real data from a women's wear company. The conclusion was that our model was better than company's existing method, and then apparel company could get much profit with reducing forecast cost and test cost.
