The writer discusses the impetus and resistance in technological innovation in enterprises in China, and points out that the targets of the government and the enterprises are partly same, still there is an invisible game between them, so it is the government's task to guide, help, support and incite enterprises to innovate. The opportunity cost, which had been ignored, would be huge without enough encouragement from governments, thus the most important task for the Chinese governments is to build a social environment conducive to technological innovation.

In the knowledge economy, a firm's longevity and sustainability does not necessarily have to be always supported by a great financial performance. The intellectual capital has become a major corporate strategic asset to generate sustainable competitive advantage and superior financial performance. Mutual trust, in internal and external relationships, makes a positive contribution to the company's outcome. Family-owned businesses have the capacity to blend economic consideration with traditional role of the family social unit. This allows for constituent stakeholders to build shared value between the company and society through CSR initiatives. Hence, this research aims to understand the implementation of CSR initiatives in family businesses, by examining two cases of Asian family business across emerging economies - Indonesia (Sampoerna) and India (Tata).

This research applies agent-based negotiation approach to construct a multi-agent-based framework and solve parallel machines rescheduling with eligibility. The proposed architecture comprises three types of agents: job agents, machine agents, and supervisor agent. The decision model is built in each job/machine agent for bid selection to ensure better global objectives can be reached. The supervisor agent is used to manage negotiations between job agents and machine agents and monitor the production process. When there are some disruptive events occurred, the supervisor agent will arrange dynamically a reactive scheduling to update the current production scheduling in order to provide an immediate response to the unexpected event. The objectives are multiple, which include total weighted tardiness, total flow time, and utilization.

This paper adopts a novel approach to explore the development trajectories of automatic identification technologies by analyzing various main paths on the patent data. We retrieved the citation data on patents in automatic identification techniques from the database of USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and then built the citation network. Several main path analyses were applied on the citation network to explore the major technological development trajectories. The results clearly identify the major technological revolution paths and trends. This approach is not only useful for this application, but also very helpful for other technological fields.

A significant amount of money is spent on programs to stimulate innovative activities. In this analysis, we review the effects of a specific government-sponsored R&D program from various angles. We start by evaluating whether we find positive effects of subsidies on R&D investment and (R&D) employment. Then, we analyze how the observed effects of subsidies on R&D intensity and employment vary over time, vary depending on how many supported projects a single firm has at the same time or vary if a same firm gets support consecutively. Finally, we estimate the macroeconomic impact these grants have on the local economy in terms of (R&D) employment.

This research shows that innovation and production share certain common properties. Like experience in manufacturing, innovation results in the accumulation of knowledge by learning by doing. Similar to manufacturing, this knowledge depreciates over time and is forgotten. In addition to the depreciation of knowledge, the turnover of scientists results in forgetting and in lower R&D productivity. Using patent data of over 600 firms and 20,000 scientists from the U.S. and Canadian biotechnology industry from 1970 to 2007, I model scientist knowledge as a vector of skills in different technologies and determine the effect of forgetting in research and development.

This study aims to analyze the influence of trust, concern and risks perception toward the intentions of customers to conduct e-commerce transaction. In order to see the influence of these factors, we construct an online questionnaire and distribute it to various sites and forums using quota sampling methods. We obtained 101 valid data and analyzed them by using Spearman's rho correlation analysis to determine the relationship between each variable and path coefficient analysis to prove the hypothesis. Interestingly, online customers in Indonesia tend not to think risk as something that affects their intentions when performing online transaction. Attitude and perceived behavioral control had more influence on the online customer in Indonesia to conduct online transactions.

With the increasing importance of the service sector to both developed and developing countries, the evaluation of services has been considered as one of critical themes of study. Accordingly, a number of studies for evaluating services have been carried out. However, most of them have been performed in qualitative way due to the paucity of quantitative service data. As a remedy, this study proposes a quantitative and systematic approach for evaluating services using information visualization technique and the concept of service value that calculated by fuzzy AHP and similarity index. This study can contribute to the research themes for service engineering in terms of employing and utilizing the service information data to evaluate services.
