Hong Kong and Singapore are two fascinating and vibrant economies in the world. Their electronics industries contribute significantly to their respective economies. This paper offers a longitudinal comparison between the duo's development in their electronics industries. It shows that the duo's electronics industries development had similar beginnings, but then diverged because of government actions and external circumstances. After years of divergence, it now appears that the two may develop along similar lines again.

Management-by-projects (MBP) and its call for less hierarchical and more flexible and responsive organisations have attracted much attention in the 1990s. MBP is relevant and useful in the manufacturing industry as it provides an ideal multi-project environment for MBP to be implemented. The organisational activities are viewed as a network of internal and external projects. The projects are interrelated and implemented at different levels within the base organisation. MBP is built on modern project management concepts and methods, but it also represents a new management paradigm which helps organisations to transform and in turn its implementation is enabled by such transformation. The link between MBP and TQM is also discussed.

Globalization of the market for products and services produced by software engineering efforts place increasing amounts of pressure on software development teams to deliver high-quality, complex products in a highly competitive, complex environment. Complexity, while a compelling reason for a team, is also a hindrance. Concurrent with the increased complexity of software development and the reduced time to market is the drive for higher quality which is increasingly being measured by process assessments. This paper describes research that is examining indicators of volatility in organizations and the stabilizing mechanisms that organizations have developed to cope with this volatility. The goal of this research is to determine the key challenges facing software development teams and organizational management at different stages of volatility and recommend best practices for each stage.

This paper examines the need for and identifies approaches to development and maintaining an effective measurement system in the integrated circuit (IC) assembly industry. As the specification's window goes narrower, the variance components in a measurement system which contribute to the measurement uncertainty are discussed. Four approaches for establishing a measurement system in the IC assembly industry is examined. A conceptual framework for effective measurement systems to manage the uncertainty in the IC assembly industry is advocated.

This paper describes some preliminary research on international manufacturing. It identifies the main research tasks as the development of a taxonomy of international manufacturing networks and the exploration of strategy processes for globalisation. An industrial case is given to show the process of developing global manufacturing strategy.

Strategic planning includes high visibility components such as profitability and market share, a secure employee environment, and customer satisfaction. Less visible are planning for an uncertain future, decisions which make the best use of limited resources, and the implementation of these plans and decisions. The authors recommend structured planning tools to impose some objectivity on a subjective process, and a combination of constraint management and intelligent resource deployment to minimize risks associated with strategic investment decisions that have long term consequences.

The objective of the research is to study the basic elements of simulation management together with their application to a real flooding area system. The benefits of the research are to avoid risk to drinking water surrounding the Citarum river, and especially during the rainy season, analysis of relevant health and environmental aspects. The method used comparative studies of real world systems, modelling and simulation. Simulation together with improvement of computer-based tools and methods are carried out. The modelling cycle of setting up a verbal, mathematical model, reduction of the mathematical model, solving the equations, parameter sensitivity modelling, experimental design and parameter optimization are described. The simulation models of management of technology in flooding area around the Citarum river in South Bandung can be used to better understand the views of researchers, rural people, government sociologists and economists and also to provide an understanding of regulatory political, technical and economic structures in the integrated flooding management field.

There is an increasing interest in hospitals in the US to apply total quality management (TQM) principles to improve service quality. This is due to the fact that in recent years healthcare has been criticized for its low quality service at high costs which are continuously increasing. Another motivation for utilizing TQM in healthcare is the success that TQM has had in other service industries. Based on interviews with TQM and information systems officials in some US hospitals, this study identifies and discusses some critical issues in providing high quality service in hospitals and explores the crucial role that both TQM and hospital information systems can play in this endeavor.

This paper examines how cross-functional teams can contribute to new product development (NPD). As market environments have become more dynamic and complex, technology-based organizations have needed to respond more quickly and proficiently to both opportunities and threats. Cross-functional teams (CFTs) are helping organizations meet these new challenges. Their success, however, is not automatic in organizations. This paper explores the importance of cross-functional teams in NPD; the challenges they encounter, their limits, and the impact they are having on organizational design and performance.

This paper focuses on the development of a fuzzy expert system development shell. The system can be used directly by the domain expert to develop fuzzy systems for diagnostic or control applications. The need of a knowledge engineer in the development process is minimized by the use of the proposed system. General purpose data structures are suggested and discussed, which help in achieving these objectives.
