Science and technology (S&T) information presents a rich resource, vital for managing research and development (R&D) programs. Modern S&T electronic abstract databases such as Science Citation Index and INSPEC provide comprehensive information on research activities in many different domains. These databases mostly include English language publications. However for a country such as Thailand which does not use English as the primary language, some S&T information is represented in Thai language as well. Hence to reflect the whole R&D activities in the country, there is a need to extract intelligence from both English and Thai language research publications. In this paper, we describe our ongoing project to consolidate research content focusing on Thai language. We present a framework called Thailandpsilas Research Information Portal and Search Engine (ThaiReSearch) which integrates research information from various databases such as researchers, research projects, patent records, and publications. The framework also provides an intelligent information analysis module which incorporates the following functions: statistical analysis, natural language processing (NLP), and text mining. By using this system, Thai R&D managers and policy planners could improve their strategic decision-making processes towards a sustainable economy.

The paper is about the manufacturing role within the innovation process of companies in a multiproject and simple product development environment. The aim is to understand the management practices used by manufacturing in the product and process development. It is a multiple case study, conducted in Brazil, wherein three companies from different business sectors - cosmetics, candies and shoes - were studied. Derivative projects are the main concern of the innovation process in these companies. But there are also some platform and breakthrough projects in each company at every period. As the result of the research, it is shown that, in these companies, manufacturing plays an important role in the innovation process, at the strategic and implementation levels. An important finding is that co-location of R&D, marketing, and manufacturing staffs may substitute for co-location of project teams. Another is that manufacturing may have a leading role in project selection and management whenever it has been a dominant function at the company, defining the common language concerning products. When production is not the leading function in company parlance, R&D may take the role of translator, facilitating the required communication between manufacturing and other areas in the innovation process.

This paper present the steps taken, philosophy employed, internal collaborative process, pitfalls, and successes of how the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) developed its 2008 technology portfolio. It describe how critical this collaborative, open process is to managing technologies in a sustaining economy. BPA used an internal collaborative process to pursue, select, and implement its first technology innovation investment portfolio. This paper describe BPA's portfolio decision framework and philosophy as well as its philosophy for constructing and managing this portfolio once it is in place. After identifying what it wanted to focus on, BPA used a public solicitation process to identify potential technology investment opportunities. A description of the selection and evaluation processes will include a list of the evaluation criteria, the weights applied, and the supplemental criteria used (including the technology investment risks) to determine the portfolio selection. BPA used several connective steps to develop the crucial collaborative link between the principal decision-makers and people implementing the portfolio. Sustaining economies will maximize their benefits through this linkage between collaborative and sometimes competing priorities. All influences must consider multiple perspectives and must be able and willing to work with each other.

This application paper is based on a collection of 1200 responses regarding the critical project problems facing team members in the delivery of business and technology projects. Industry examples and applications from several Fortune 100 companies are discussed along with the authors' project experience reflecting various efforts to overcome perpetual project problems. Business economies must keep up with technology and technology development if they have hopes of sustaining themselves. The need for "the next new thing" coupled with high speed demand to deliver with strained resources is a perpetual challenge. Developing enterprises build new facilities, add new staff and ride the wave of market demand. And, in almost all instances these efforts must navigate and overcome project delivery problems. As the project or product manager, it all comes down to you and how well that is achieved. This paper explores the most prevalent problems facing project delivery today. Categories have been established which reflect the most common project problems. What are they, in what ways do they most often affect teams and how can they be mitigated are just a few of the questions to be addressed. Project problems exist within all enterprises, even those with strong project management foundations and disciplines. What businesses are doing about it will be explored along with applications as viable solutions for mitigating these project problems.

As global companies use teams to pursue innovations research has paid increasing attention to team functioning. For global innovations firms often rely on multi-cultural innovation teams (MCITs) with members from different national backgrounds to gain easy and fast access to consumer and market knowledge. We conducted a two year longitudinal study on five MCITs at a large consumer good company, BLUE. In 105 interviews we found cultural differences and the cultural composition of the team to be the source of 36 percent of the reported difficulties. We focus on diversity of communication styles and values as well as their effect on team work quality dimensions which are linked to the innovativeness of teams. We derive a model stressing differences between diversity in communication styles and cultural values.

Creative management, as the new paradigm of business innovation for achieving sustainable competitive advantages, is a management discipline that focuses on the provision of new values to customers by creating new products, services and business models. Despite the emerging importance of creative management, few studies have investigated how to measure the quality of creative management. This study proposes a theoretical framework for Creative Management Index (CMI) that is designed to measure the degree of creativity of management. The unit of analysis is a company or independent business unit that attempts to develop new products, services and business models. Two theoretical backgrounds have been employed to develop our framework. One is the Balanced Score Card (BSC), which provides the conceptual background of management index. The other is psychological theories of creativity, which provides theoretical backgrounds of cognitive and affective creativity. As a management index, the CMI framework consists of four components: person, process, place, and product. Through the synergetic combination of the four components we expect to be able to measure the multidimensional characteristics of creative management faithfully.

Ubiquitous healthcare, in short u-health, aims to provide overall healthcare anywhere, anytime based on ubiquitous technology. In Korea, with its wide wireless broadband coverage, various types of ubiquitous healthcare projects are being undertaken. First of all, this research analyzes the distinctive characteristics and general processes of u-health, and the detailed roles and ranges of the stakeholders are illustrated. Based on this analysis, three different types of service models are classified according to the stakeholder interactions: services between health experts, services between health experts and service consumers, and services between service consumers. We introduce the current commercial and experimental services and focus on understanding the corresponding regulatory issues that should be considered. Among the various regulatory issues, we selected privacy protection, medical treatment cost, and division between healthcare and wellness as the most significant problems. Then we consider the regulatory implications for each issue, and propose potential ways to continue under the domestic conditions in Korea.
