In context globalization of industries and increased level of competition and rapid changes in technology, firms have formed alliances with many types of organizations, including universities. Universities on the other hand, have faced increasing budgetary challenges and sought to expand their roles. Planning agencies at various levels are considering universities as sources of regional economic development. Studies in regional economics strongly point to the fact that proximity to a university is often associated with recent growth of high tech industries in these regions. Examples of the Silicon Valley and its proximity to Stanford University and the University of California, the industrial belt on Route 128 in Massachusetts and its proximity to MIT, and role of Cambridge University in the UK are commonly cited as the important role of universities in regional development. In this paper, the authors draw from the experience of four technological universities in the US and compare them with four technical universities in Finland Although, Finland and the US differ a great deal in many socioeconomic dimensions, the process followed by each of the universities illuminate the complexity of the process.

Whilst manufacturing excellence helps to maintain the current survival of companies the development of new products is a critical process for ensuring future survival. The efficiency and effectiveness of the new product development (NPD) process depends on the integrated decision making ability of the system, but current NPD frameworks focus on managing the co-ordination activities and transfer of information. These existing frameworks achieve cost and lead-time reductions, but at the expense of innovation. Thus, this paper introduces a framework that seeks to address this trade-off issue by using a complex systems approach to explore and better understand the characteristics of emergence and self-organisation and their impact on NPD cost, lead-time, reliability and innovation.

A survey of participants in the electron device industry has been conducted to identify best practices in the sources of information used in new product and process technology planning. The frequency of use of each source of information is quantified for both tactical and strategic time frames. Further, statistically distinguishable dusters of most-frequently used sources of information are identified as a result of this work Distinctions also are identified between those sources of information most typically used for tactical versus strategic technology planning cycles.

The emerging new VLSI markets of communications and wireless introduced risks and opportunities in a changing environment. This increased the attractiveness of VLSI IP start-ups to specialize in semiconductor design. The wealthy company has the better leverage to take the risk, while the limitation of start-up easily causes the risk transfer involuntarily to workers or investors. Imposing unnecessary risk on people (worker or investor) becomes the critical barrier to the success. In this paper, the interactive role of management is suggested for the business model of VLSI IP to reduce the risks and uncertainty.

Advances in information technology radically impact all organizations, especially, in providing effective tools to integrate their operations more effectively, respond to market needs more flexibly, and serve their customers globally. This research aims to answer how the local companies survive in the global competitiveness. Using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, variables relevant to strategic management and information technology has been developed and with the application-based model, based on the Mc Kinsey framework. Results show that the long term vision of the leader gives the highest contribution to the success of local companies. Appropriate management of leadership and information technology significantly enhances the competitiveness of local companies. Result of evaluation of the proposed model with four local Thai Banks is in accordance with those of international credit rating agencies including Standard & Poors and Moody's Invertors Service.

Our study of RI looks at initiatives undertaken to provide a sustainable source of radical innovation. The RI programs we study are tied to the R&D organizations of our company participants. In this paper we report on system characteristics of these RI initiatives. An objective is to provide perspective on what options exist to foster the guided evolution of organizations and therefore sustained performance or long-term survival. Inherent to the pursuit of innovation is creation of new resources and new dynamic capabilities, both of which can be the foundation of organizational rejuvenation and change. One challenge of corporate innovation is creating variance to ensure capability to adapt in uncertain environments Another challenge, which can be interpreted as a driver of RI and a feature of corporate entrepreneurship, firm transformation where the result is that the corporation is the driver of environmental change. If organizations must, in order to be successful over the long run, be good at (a) current operations, (b) incremental innovation, and (c) developing new paths to growth through breakthrough innovation, what type of RI system is a workable model for providing this dexterity? What activities are best suited to creating new capabilities and resources? What can RI programs do to enhance the organization's growth into new areas in comparison to other means such as acquisition and international expansion? What are the challenges to effective implementation of the RI system concept? How can the various challenges be overcome, and if so, what are alternative approaches for effective implementation? In focusing on these questions our research examines how resources, knowledge and learning are employed to build a sustainable capability for RI suitable either for adaptation or transformation in global competitive environments.

In the age of knowledge economy, if transformed or exploited successfully, economic value deriving from making the most of intangible intellectual property, can generate higher profits than from traditional tangible capital assets like equipment and land. Patents are a classical instance. Not only is a patent a legal as well as a technical document, but patents also often serve as a critical indicator of scientific and technological strength of a country or a company. Since the business models invented by a company begin to gain recognition by the patenting agency, the profound positive impact on marketing gives the company a competitive edge. However, some researchers advise caution about the serious constraints placed on its competitors who also try to use the same way of doing business. Some cases such as Dell, Amazon, and Priceline are frequently quoted and have been well discussed. This research performs a competitive analysis from the perspective of patenting, focusing on the business models associated with e-commerce. A comprehensive comparison of the business models among countries, sectors and companies is conducted. Insightful evidence on the current state of patenting in business models is also provided.
