Traditionally, industrial firms conducted innovation strategies for their own products internally. In recent decades, these strategies have begun to change as firms across industries acquire external technologies to extend their knowledge base, which strengthens the firms' competitive advantages. Despite its growing importance, achieving a successful implementation of open innovation is not an easy task. To this end, this study constructs a decision framework by identifying a comprehensive set of consideration factors of implementing open innovation and groups these factors into an extensive Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) structure. To further rank the importance of these consideration factors, this study employed the method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by surveying a group of experts who have implemented the Open Innovation Platform (OIP®) in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest semiconductor contracted manufacturer in the world. In 2008, TSMC launched the OIP® as an industrywide design enablement initiative. To date, the OIP® has allowed the entire semiconductor industry accelerate time-to-market, improve return on design investment and reduce design infrastructure duplication. The contribution of this study lies in not only its providing a structured and comprehensive list of critical consideration factors but also illustrating the application of those critical factors by examples.

Myanmar is rich in power sources. But with low levels of electrification, demand for power is not adequately met. And it needs advanced technology and more investment in power generation and distribution. Efficient and effective management of energy resources and innovative technology for producing it is inevitable and has become very crucial to solve climate change and meet the increased energy demand in 21st century. Option-games theory and Bayesian MCMC Analysis will be utilized to analyze the optimal investment strategies for high-risky energy industry and find the possibility of raising the firm's revenue in order to endure and overcome the ‘Valley of Death’ in period of negative profit. In more detail, this research will help us in examining a situation of option-games for the assessment of optimizing the firms' equity between flexibility and commitment. And Bayesian MCMC Analysis will be applied to the parameters estimation between the firm's revenue and investment cost in Eco-system for the sustainability of new energy industry. After focusing on the Japan's Electric Power Business and cooperation between Japan and Myanmar, we would like to search the potential of innovative and initiative new technological energy industry for the regional development and ecological sustainability in Myanmar.

The evaluation of the productivity of research and development (R&D) is crucial for the management of pharmaceutical businesses, and various methods, indicators, and proposals for R&D improvement have been investigated; however, there is no consensus on a unified criteria. To resolve this issue, we present a comprehensive review of previous studies on the topic. Publication databases were searched for all relevant studies related to the following: the pharmaceutical industry, R&D, and productivity; a total of 6,357 publications were obtained. Through in-depth screening, 190 publications were selected and subsequently reviewed. As a result, methods for the evaluation of pharmaceutical R&D were classified into four major approaches: R&D cost, regression analysis, ratio analysis and data envelope analysis (DEA). The characteristics of each of these approaches were examined from the following three perspectives: the pharmaceutical industry-level, company-level, and project-level. Furthermore, several elements were identified that explain the significant decrease in pharmaceutical R&D productivity: the sustainability of a business model; increase in R&D expenditure; effectiveness of outsourcing; size of the company; and premiums and amortization with mergers and acquisition (M&A). By forming an intellectual basis for the evaluation procedures, the present study has contributed to the theory of R&D management and to the practices used in the pharmaceutical industry.

The Strategic Management literature has been for a long time bringing the issue of Complexity to its agenda and pointing to the need for organizations to develop their Adaptive Capacity. However, the design of a management model for the strategic management of established organizations, so as to replace the traditional strategic management model — the one associated with strategic planning and the follow up and correction framework — still needs to be the object of systematic Research & Development efforts in the field of Management Science and Engineering. This paper presents an approach in the context of such a Design Science Development effort, where the first redesign process, carried out in partnership with the organization where the practices are to be implemented (i.e. a core-design), is described, and its results analyzed. It presents a real-world solution for how the traditional model of strategic management can be overcome dialectically — when the initial design proposition is preserved, denied and exceeded at the same time, by the adoption of new management practices within and complementary to the standard model as adopted by the organization.

This investigation reveals several distinctive features of market players in patent transactions. Through transaction network analysis, patent transaction markets have determined that mature markets are informative environments whereby few players create the majority of transactions. Therefore, this market is highly structured, and the distinctive features of market players are characterized. First, market players exhibit different market behaviors in transactional opportunity and capability. Second, the market management of technological transactions is revealed whereby market players can strategize their industrial assets. Consequently, these findings and results not only depict the IPR strategy of leading technology players but also demonstrate the social structure of their competitive advantage. Thus, this study provides insights into the patent transactions market and also addresses management implications for firms and authorities to maintain the value of intellectual properties.

Starting a new business, developing new products and/or services and bringing those to the market may seem deceitfully easy, but in reality, it is a very painful and risky endeavor that can be nearly impossible to undertake without proper implementation process in place. Several entrepreneurship programs have been established in different regions or countries to make a positive economic change while remaining profitable for both people and the government. Saudi Arabia is a rich country that enjoys high financial potential. In spite of the country is taking remarkable steps into the entrepreneurship world, there are still unique challenges that inspire or hamper entrepreneurs to engage in the entrepreneur programs' process more fully. In this paper, we explored these challenges and show the transformation of the ecosystem strategy that the Saudi Arabia government has taken to develop the entrepreneurship ecosystem and startup. The study aims to investigate and analyze the relationships between the effectiveness of entrepreneurship programs and unemployment. The paper, however, concludes that the existing entrepreneurship ecosystem is still needed development in order to resolve the problem of unemployment in Saudi Arabia. The country should improve the strategies that can support to create an entrepreneurial culture and encourage the youth to involve in starting new enterprises.

One of the most important tasks in patent analysis is to evaluate a patent in order to identify its financial asset. Patents that are essential for standards, so-called standard essential patents (SEPs), are an especially valuable type of patent because patented products and processes that are essential for standards are primarily designed for the mass market and often generate high royalties. Although several committees publish SEPs by naming the associated standard codes, there are a large number of patents that are likely to be SEPs but have not yet been declared. Market participants are interested in identifying SEPs, and particularly potential SEPs, as these may affect their businesses now and in the future in terms of risk management. In addition to risk issues, opportunities can also be gained through license fees if patents that are suitable as SEPs can be identified within one's own patent portfolio. In this article, the author provides a computer-based method that helps patent holders to determine whether a patent is likely to be declared an SEP and which standards are suitable for potential SEPs, based on a semantic analysis of patent claims using artificial intelligence in the form of the Doc2Vec algorithm.

After-sales service (ASS) is an important element after the production has been sold to the end-users also those who use agricultural machinery. This paper aims to review to some extent the ASS practice of Chinese agricultural machinery in cross-border e-commerce in Africa which has been an active practical and research topic in China, and for that matter globally, since 2000. This review for ASS of agricultural machinery will be shown on the following dimensions: technician/expert, timely repair, spare part, maintenance, training course as well as user information system and service center. By means of previous authors' views, analyses and integration pertaining to above six aspects of ASS, it is concluded that the ASS of Chinese agricultural machinery is urgently necessary also in Africa. A conceptual framework of risk reduction of after-sales service of agricultural machinery in cross-border e-commerce is designed and presented based on the literature review and inductive reasoning as the final process of this paper. The research method followed in this paper is exploratory based on literature review as well as aspects of design science research.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population will face many challenges in providing healthcare. The results of the aging society, natural disasters, and global warming are only a few examples. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are the backbone of the first responders, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and medics, to provide vital lifesaving care in an emergency. As part of pre-hospital EMS, ambulances are indispensable in the rapid transit and rescue of patient. Advances in ambulance technologies can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of EMS personnel and subsequently save lives. Investing in new ambulance technologies is crucial to increase the survival rate and provide better care during the EMS process. However, such investments are costly and depend on the pre-existing EMS system. This paper, offers a review of ambulance technologies in pre-hospital EMS between 2014–2018. The review is based on a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of publications retrieved from the SCOPUS database. The analysis identified clusters of ambulance technologies in pre-hospital EMS, current ambulance technologies, growth pattern, and direction for the future development. The results of the review are aimed to provide a knowledge base and overview of ambulance technologies for the decision-making process of hospitals and policy makers.

This paper aims to study the relevance and importance of strategic alliances for emerging technology adoption. The case researched and discussed here is Blockchain adoption in the semiconductor industry. As a technology, Blockchain has been around for over a decade and is known to provide tremendous value in business transactions. However, the adoption has not gained traction mainly due to the fact that it takes a network to adopt an industrial Blockchain and cannot work in silos. Most companies are shying away from it as they haven't explored what makes a successful strategy for adoption. A literature review was done on the similar technology adoption in the past. The nature of Blockchain and its network dependency were considered. It was clear that strategic alliances are the way to move forward. The various aspects to be considered while forming an alliance, such as understanding the core competencies, finding the right partners, and form of alliances was studied. The research converged in understanding the fact that companies should move away from the transactional business model and have the right expectations and scoping on all sides, standardization, digital integration, and a steady focus on security and privacy.
