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.

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.

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.

Most information technology (IT) clusters are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of IT industries employing different technologies and producing a wide range of hardware, software and services. We study how collocation of one IT industry influences innovation and growth in another IT industry. We examine whether scale and scope effects can explain how collocation, the act of placing potential complementary assets together in geographic space, influences innovation and growth even though use of IT has been expected to lead to greater geographic dispersion of industry. Economies of scale effects (or MAR externalities) suggest collocation of many companies with similar activities. Economies of scope effects (Jacobs externalities) suggest that heterogeneous activities placed in proximity lead to the greatest levels of value creation. From this, we propose a combined scale-and-scope theory of IT industry cluster growth. Our perspective emphasizes the amplifying effects of scale-size on scope effects across industries. We study the growth patterns of four IT industries: computer and peripheral manufacturing, semiconductor and other electronic components manufacturing, software publishing and data processing and what effect collocation of one industry has on others. Our data covers firms in 170 counties of 17 states in the United States in a longitudinal study spanning 1998 to 2002. Using econometric analysis, we find that different IT industries are affected differently by collocation. The software industry does not experience significant collocation externalities. In contrast, the semiconductor industry experiences significant scale-size effects, as well as scope effects from the software industry, which enhance its scale-size effects. We also find that computer manufacturing experiences economies of scope effects from semiconductors, while data processing feels scope effects from the computer and software industries.

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.

Based on the data from 5 industrial clusters in Zhejiang province, this paper found some profound change with clustered firms' collaborative relationships under global context, such as the intensification of local production collaboration, the improvement of local collaborative modes, the prolongation of local collaborative relationships, and the diversification of global collaborative relationships. Low cost and flexibility are the two main reasons for clustered firms to organize local collaborative relationships, and market exploitation and technology learning are the important reasons for global collaboration. These changes demand clustered firms to attach importance to local network and global network, and take the advantage of their resource through dynamic cooperation.

Warehouse management system (WMS) is the answer to reducing inventory cost and improving degree of customer satisfaction, which means a great deal to enterprises. With the competition of logistic industry becoming severe, the need of promoting performance of WMS increases rapidly. This paper discusses the design and implement of WMS based on aspect oriented programming (AOP), which simplifies its system structure, increases its agility, expansibility and maintainability by reengineering business logic, and thus adapts itself well to current warehouse management. We also describes how AOP was applied and how does it work in our system through an example of stocking in. Applying AOP to WMS benefits to solve some existing problems in current WMS, for example complex structure, poor maintenance and poor adaptation.

Bahia State is one of the least electrified in Brazil. The great challenge is to provide electricity to 380.000 rural customers not yet served, with a minimum environmental impact. This paper will show how the company achieved this goal through the implementation of Cleaner Production. After identifying all the environmental impacts due to the project and construction of electric distribution circuits and all the legal requirements of the federal, state and local environmental legislation, the appropriate solutions were implemented: 1) environmental training of employees and contractors directly or indirectly related to the program, as well as to some special communities such as indigenous, African descendants, island inhabitants; 2) choice of the best path, avoiding native vegetation, rivers and special areas under protection; 3) reduction of the right-of-way width from 15 m to 4 m whenever possible, together with the use of selective cut of trees alongside the circuit path; 4) use of insulated cables in secondary circuits (220 V), among others. After three years of implementation the program have important results to show: less than 10% of the new projects (over 1.000 new projects in the 2002-2005 period) need an environmental license. The remaining 90% are constructed without cutting native vegetation generating minimum environmental impact.
