We developed a process-knowledge allocation model (PKA) of allocating company available knowledge on company new product development process (NPD) knowledge requirements. Our model is based on two optimization functions. We are searching for best alignment of employee knowledge structure on NPD process knowledge requirements. Second, we are splitting NPD process activities and measuring process structural indexes to find even better knowledge alignment. This PKA model is useful in case of new business opportunity without having time to re-educate employees. That means that the structure of proposed project activities among NPD process and the structure of project team depend on optimization of available and required knowledge structure at a specific time.

Educational policy is part of public policies. Educational policy, not only keeps pace with the times, but also bears the responsibility of maintaining the social justice. According to relevant information, the resources allocated to technical and vocational students are commonly lower than those general educational system; this itself could be interpreted as the violation to social justice of the educational policy. This thesis primarily approaches through the social justice perspective to inspect whether current technical and vocational education policy can attain the standards of social justice. Moreover, this thesis proposes appropriate recommendations as opposed to the orientation of future technical and vocational education policy as well.

Organizations today compete in a knowledge-based economy. In the Foresight 2020 survey, knowledge management (KM) is believed to offer the greatest potential for productivity gains over the next decade. However, in practice many organizations do not receive satisfactory value from implementing KM. The primary reason of low return on KM investment is due to reuse problems. We propose an agent-based model to assessing knowledge reuse processes in an organization. By modeling major components in knowledge reuse processes as agents, we provide a way to analyze the interactions and relationships among these individuals, and their impact on the value in organizational knowledge reuse. This paper presents a preliminary model of our work-in-progress.

This descriptive study illustrates the first practical analysis of ITESCM (Integrated Tertiary Educational Supply Chain Management) model which was developed by Habib [10] for the academia, especially for tertiary educational institutions. ITESCM model addresses the integrated form of supplied inputs, supplied outputs, education supply chain, research supply chain and educational management for the Universities. The model delivers two contributions to the consumer, i.e. the society, including human resource contribution and research contribution in terms of high caliber graduates and high impact research outcomes respectively. As a case study approach, the researchers applied the model on a leading University in Bangladesh through MLR equations. 307 respondents, representing University administrators, faculty and staff, graduates, employers etc. were participated in the survey to justify quality outcomes towards the end customer of the educational supply chain.

There is limited understanding about business strategies related to parliamentary government's departments. This study focuses on the strategies of departments of two state governments in Australia. The strategies are derived from department strategic plans available in public domain and collected from respective websites. The results of this research indicate that strategies fall into seven categories: internal, development, political, partnership, environment, reorientation and status quo. The strategies of the departments are mainly internal or development where development strategy is mainly the focus of departments such as transport, and infrastructure. Political strategy is prevalent for departments related to communities, and education and training. Further three layers of strategies are identified as kernel, cluster and individual, which are mapped to the developed taxonomy.

How did enterprise innovation capability convolutes with external environment in the context of economic transition? In this paper, a longitude study is operated, using the case of Sunyard, to show the rule as well as the mechanism underlying the coevolution process. On the one hand, this paper reveals how enterprise adapt to the environment to pursue resources for product innovation under multi-institutional pressure; on the other hand, this paper reveals how companies leverage innovation capability through organizational learning and then select and manage the environment. More importantly, this paper links these two aspects, and reveals the ambidexterity mechanism between selection and adaptation. Theoretically, this finding not only unique to China, but also can be found in other developing countries with under transition.

This paper discusses key elements of technology commercialization by using a case study of a license of rubber latex technology in Thailand. Thailand is ranked number one as the world producer and exporter of natural rubber. Natural rubber would replace many parts of existing synthetic rubber due to limited availability of crude oil in the future. Nonetheless, current manufacturing process of fresh latex still has many technical constraints such as limited shelf life, toxicity from preservation and waste management. Thus, a research group from the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC) has come up with a package of solutions, resulting in commercialization to the industry. To this achievement, selected key elements of success commercialization of technology are discussed in this paper.

This research focused on developing a framework for medical innovation products (MIP) development. Scope of MIP development process is based on government university hospital. The structure of research process taken in this paper based on three empirical case studies to build a conceptual process of MIP invention. An additional case study used to validate and test the developed model. Specifically, this MIP development process framework comprised of five main steps which are- (1) preliminary systematic analysis; (2) risk management; (3) MIP conceptualize design; (4) clinical development; and (5) production and MIP marketing management. Moreover, this research revealed that effective factors for implementing MIP are the technological screening, interdisciplinary blending, systematic management, value creation, and synthesis design into MIP invention process for future development.

Global firms are active to develop innovation to adapt to the turbulent environment and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Innovation is an interactive process and diversity among those who interact promotes the innovation process. Organizational climate is widely seen as v ital for increasing interaction, communication, interpersonal contact and increasing their willingness to share information. The objective of this research is to und erstand the relationship among knowledge diversity, knowledge interaction, organizational climate and business innovation, this research will conduct the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The results are expected to demonstrate the framework of knowledge diversity, knowledge interaction, organizational climate, business innovation and provide rich implication for managers and future researchers.
