The technological capability of the coffee industry in Thailand is limited. Coffee manufacturers operate in a red ocean where competition is focused around cost and not differentiation. This paper discusses the insights gained from a study of patents related to coffee processing technologies. The purpose of the study is to identify technology trends and innovative approaches in the coffee industry. PatSnap software is used to conduct a patent analysis of 211 patents from 106 countries in the period of 1999–2018. The analysis aims to reveal the global direction of R&D to forecast technological developments and applications in the coffee industry. The insights gained from the research are used to assist the strategic planning of technological development paths and their possible application in the Thai coffee industry. With a better understanding of the technological landscape, firms operating in the Thai coffee industry are better equipped to make product development decisions.

Science and technology activities are recognized as problem-solving activities. Most solutions are created by tackling problems with previous knowledge, not only in an academic context but also in an industrial context. Scientific papers and patent publications can be regarded as explicit knowledge obtained by problem solving in the academia and industry, respectively. However, approaches toward problem solving do not necessarily match between scientific papers and patentable technology, even in the same field. The research question is addressed here is whether scientific problems can be provided insights from technical problems and solutions. In this study, we propose a concept to link problems in inter-domains for knowledge discovery using a linguistic approach. We extracted scientific papers and patent publications related to computer science as datasets in this study. Then, from these datasets, we identified problem sentences and solution sentences by neural probabilistic language model focusing on attention mechanism. Our approach is applied to extract groups of sentences for identifying semantically similar problems in inter-domains. From the results, we extracted several pairs of problem sentences across the domain. The results suggest that scientific problems and industry solutions may be able to give insights each other. This approach is also recommended not only for corporate activities but also for identifying research trends.

The purpose of this study is to explore the market maturity of cryptocurrency trading platforms based on the information transmission perspective of financial market price volatility. This study uses the volatility spillovers index proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz [1][2] and uses the bitcoin trading platform to measure the total price volatility of cryptocurrency trading platforms, and the directional spillovers among the trading platforms. The sample period is from January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2018. In the empirical process, each sub-sample is taken every three months. The argument of this research indicated that if the cryptocurrency trading platforms' total spillover effects, with the rolling of the sub-sample period, show the increasing trend, and the trading platform has a staggered spillover effect with each other, indicating that cryptocurrency trading platforms exist the chaotic phenomenon, and the cryptocurrency market is in a stage of low maturity. On the contrary, if the total spillover effects are showing a decreasing trend and the spillover effects are mainly from a certain minority trading platforms, indicating that the cryptocurrency trading platforms present the order phenomenon, and cryptocurrency market is at a stage of high maturity. The contribution of this research is to identify the market maturity of the cryptocurrency trading platform, and to promote policy makers to propose a market-building mechanism for the market situation, so that the cryptocurrency has the opportunity to become a mainstream trading tool.

Companies have been increasingly opting to utilize knowledge-intensive teams to contend with highly turbulent and dynamic conditions as it can promote innovations performance and lead to competitive advantage. Knowledge-intensive teams, just like research teams, product development teams or strategic planning teams, relies on highly qualified individuals to absorb new external knowledge and share it among the whole companies to ensure the ability of solving complex tasks. So, knowledge-intensive teams must access high level of Absorptive Capacity (hereinafter, ACAP), which has been defined as a set of dynamic organizational routines and processes, by which firms acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit knowledge, to assure they can absorb and exploit new external knowledge. In spite the importance of finding out how to build ACAP for knowledge-intensive teams, little of studies in this field, however, disintegrate the ACAP construct into team level and investigate how to promote ACAP at team level. Since ACAP is regarded as a kind of multilevel capability and it only can be internally built rather than simply bought from outside as its organization-specific nature, we review important prior studies in this field and state that future research should focuses on the combined effects of Gatekeepers and Combinative capabilities on ACAP.

The undeniable impact of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of things on value proposition and offerings of firms, drive many strategic initiatives in organizations to design solutions which integrate products and services. Since designing Product-Service Systems inherently introduce high level of complexity and adding artificial intelligence requirements as one of the influential factors overcomplicate the long-term planning processes, the strategic planners seek for effective tools to enable them to manage the level of complexity as well as empowering them to communicate the outcomes with the whole organization. In order to achieve this purpose, Technology Roadmaps provides a structured and flexible means for designing product-service systems which can manage the advanced technologies such as connected and intelligence devices the core factors. This research focuses on designing new and customized process of technology planning via application of Technology Roadmapping methodology to design Product-Service Systems. In order to verify the model, a complex product-service system which includes interconnected devices (internet of things) with artificial intelligence enabled capabilities is strategically planned by the proposed model.

While the amount of Official Development Assistance (ODA) of Korea has been increasing, there are some criticism about the effectiveness and management of ODA itself. ODA projects in the area of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) are also increasing but seem to have many problems too. First, there is not clearly defined or agreed definition for STI ODA internationally as well as domestically. Second, the evaluation of the STI ODA performance is not enough. Third, the planning and management capability for ODA project is generally lacking. In this background, the performance factors of STI policy consultation project were analyzed using the case studies and expert interviews. It is concluded that not only STI knowledge transfer capacity but also the absorption capacity is critically important for the success of STI policy consultation project. In this sense, it is suggested to plan and manage the STI ODA project with the consideration of both transfer capacity and absorption capacity.

Analysis of bibliographic information provides important evidence for identifying scientific innovation and future technological developments. The efficient operation of a research organization requires management of factors that enhance the future publishing of scientists' results. However, existing methodologies such as the use of the Times Higher Education University Rankings does not distinguish the reputation of affiliation from that of its members. Therefore, superior scientists do not perform well because of inferior research environments: so-called Brain Graveyards. As described herein, we propose the Research Productivity Enhancement (RPE) index to quantify affiliation effects on scientists' performance by tracking their scientific publications along with their movements among affiliations. Results show that scientists moving to state-of-the-art institutions do not always achieve enhanced productivity. Rather, some of them collect talented authors. Divided by nationality, many Chinese affiliations show high RPE. Conversely, Japan and Korea give less of a contribution to scientists' productivity. This analysis elucidates scientists' incentives and suggests means by which research organizations can enhance scientific innovation.

To adapt to the ever-changing environment, Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged for supporting manufacturing plants to better manage the quality of products. Since the application of IoT is relatively new to the manufacturing industry, increasing attention has been paid on how to manage the planning and implementation process so as to achieve smart manufacturing. However, IoT applications in each manufacturing plant are varied due to different specifications, such as the product types, product nature, plant layout, production flow, machine and equipment settings. Hence, it is essential to perform risk analysis to ensure that any possible situation and uncertainty is being considered before the implementation process. Risk management plays an important role since disruption can cause significant financial and reputational loss, especially for electronics products, which are environmental-sensitive. In this study, an electronic manufacturing risk management model (EM-RMM) is designed to assess the risk faced by manufacturing plants for IoT applications. By identifying the risks faced by manufacturing plants for IoT applications, the likelihood and consequences of the risks are analyzed by using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) to calculate the weighting of the risks. Through a case study in a plant which manufactures environmental-sensitive electronics products, the results provide a systematic procedure for risk assessment in IoT implementation, with the aim of achieving smart manufacturing.
