Most researchers, as well as practitioners, agree that product development is one of the important product success factors, so that companies allocate high resources for product development process. However, some researches and companies' actual data show that the relationship between product development and product success does not give a conclusive result. In order to explore further that relationship, this study applies an approach called 'Kano like' approach, which portrays the profile of the resources allocation in product development activities and their relations to product success. The result shows that product success is affected by the way the resources allocated in product development activities, rather than the total resources consumed. An ideal or success-triggering scheme of resources allocation can be generated from the 'Kano like' approach. Analyses on 25 product development projects shows that the closer the original scheme to the ideal scheme, the higher the success of the product.
大多数研究者和从业者都认为产品开发是产品成功的重要因素之一,因此企业为产品开发过程配置了大量资源。然而,一些研究和公司的实际数据表明,产品开发与产品成功之间的关系并没有给出一个结论性的结果。为了进一步探索这种关系,本研究采用了一种称为“卡诺式”的方法,该方法描绘了产品开发活动中资源分配的概况及其与产品成功的关系。结果表明,影响产品成功的因素是产品开发活动中资源的分配方式,而不是所消耗的总资源。一个理想的或成功触发的资源分配方案可以从“类似卡诺”的方法中产生。对25个产品开发项目的分析表明,原方案越接近理想方案,产品的成功率越高。

Product adoption and diffusion dynamics observed in field studies vary with population size and structure and affect the financial future of firms of all sizes. The purpose of this study is to identify a single model that could produce this variety of dynamics. A single model was in fact identified in this study, namely replicator dynamics. To identify this single model, a case study approach based on secondary sources is utilised. Product adoption cases are selected from the base of the pyramid (BOP) because the richness and variety of that context provided a unique opportunity to study the phenomenon. It is shown that replicator dynamics could produce a variety of product adoption and diffusion dynamics that had been observed at the BOP. These findings imply that replicator dynamics, hence imitation and biased cultural transmission, may lie at the core of most product adoption and diffusion.
在实地研究中观察到的产品采用和扩散动态随人口规模和结构而变化,并影响各种规模公司的财务未来。本研究的目的是确定一个单一的模型,可以产生这种动态的多样性。事实上,在这项研究中发现了一个单一的模型,即复制因子动力学。为了确定这一单一模型,采用了基于二手资料的案例研究方法。产品采用案例是从金字塔底部(BOP)选择的,因为该背景的丰富性和多样性为研究该现象提供了独特的机会。结果表明,复制因子动力学可以产生在防喷器上观察到的各种产品采用和扩散动力学。这些发现表明,复制因子动力学,即模仿和有偏见的文化传播,可能是大多数产品采用和传播的核心。

This study investigates new product market success in the heavy construction equipment industry over the past 20 years in the USA. This research examines the relationships between new product market success and (1) the proficiency with which new products are developed and (2) the degree of organisational integration among various groups of people. This study addresses three major research questions regarding the relationships among these three primary variables and whether Time Period (1993 and 2013) moderated the relationships between new product market success and (1) new product development (NPD) process proficiency and (2) organisational integration. It was found that NPD process proficiency significantly impacts new product market success in both the 2013 and the 1993 time periods. However, no moderating effects were found regarding the individual time periods but a direct effect was found regarding the lapse of time between 1993 and 2013. Study implications and recommendations are provided for NPD managers.
本研究调查了过去20年来美国重型建筑设备行业的新产品市场成功情况。本研究考察了新产品市场成功与(1)新产品开发的熟练程度和(2)不同人群之间的组织整合程度之间的关系。本研究解决了三个主要研究问题,即这三个主要变量之间的关系,以及时间段(1993年和2013年)是否调节了新产品市场成功与(1)新产品开发(NPD)过程熟练度和(2)组织整合之间的关系。研究发现,在2013年和1993年两个时间段,新产品开发工艺熟练度对新产品市场成功都有显著影响。然而,在单个时间段内没有发现调节效应,但在1993年至2013年之间的时间流逝中发现了直接影响。研究的启示和建议提供给新产品开发经理。

This paper aims to analyse the key factors influencing knowledge sharing in open source software (OSS) projects. Four deep cases are analysed to develop a conceptual framework based on within-case and cross-case analysis. In terms of data collection, online (including Skype meeting, email, email-list, internet relay chat (IRC), forum, group meeting, etc.) and offline (mainly with face-to-face discussion) activities are two major platforms. The research framework is that distributed innovation (independent variable) will influence shared knowledge (medium variable) and continue to affect the performance of OSS projects (dependent variable). During distributed innovation, developers located on the supply side will affect the shared knowledge from the aspects of participative motivation, social networks and organisational culture. Meanwhile, users situated on the demand side will function from the view of user innovation. Differences and similarities of China and the West towards OSS Projects are derived from the evidence, and some implications for the Chinese approach are proposed.
本文旨在分析影响开源软件项目知识共享的关键因素。分析了四个深度案例,以建立一个基于案例内和跨案例分析的概念框架。在数据收集方面,线上(包括Skype会议、email、email-list、internet relay chat (IRC)、论坛、群会等)和线下(以面对面讨论为主)活动是两大平台。研究框架是分布式创新(自变量)将影响共享知识(中变量),并继续影响OSS项目的绩效(因变量)。在分布式创新过程中,处于供给方的开发者会从参与动机、社会网络和组织文化三个方面影响共享知识。同时,处于需求端的用户将从用户创新的角度发挥作用。从证据中得出了中国和西方对OSS项目的异同,并提出了对中国方法的一些启示。

Functional food (FF) has recently become an emerging trend due to the change in life-style and demand for health-promoting food. This trend has opened up new market opportunities, which are not limited to only firms in the food sector. It pertains the characteristics of an industrial convergence, which involves knowledge and capabilities across an industrial border to converge. This work uses the example of Japanese food firms that have participated in FF in Japan (alias FOSHU) to explore the process of learning in food firms concerning FF development. By analysing the patenting activities, firms' competence and patterns of learning were drawn. The results indicate the importance of core competence, technological diversification and their effects on path-dependent learning pattern.

The study further explores how the moderating roles of relative network positions and technology diversity separately and jointly affect inter-firm technology alliances. More specifically, this study examines whether exploration learning in inter-firm collaboration benefits a firm's technology alliances and whether those benefits depend on how such learning fits the firm's network position and technology diversity. Based on a sample of 151 biomedical-based firms, the results show that relative network positions and technology diversity are significantly positively and negatively associated with successful inter-firm technology alliances, respectively. The main findings show that successful inter-firm technology alliances not only depend on exploration learning capability but are also contingent upon relative network positions and technology diversity. The study reveals some important implications for inter-firm technology collaborations.
研究进一步探讨了相对网络位置和技术多样性分别和共同影响企业间技术联盟的调节作用。更具体地说,本研究考察了企业间合作中的探索性学习是否有利于企业的技术联盟,以及这些好处是否取决于这种学习如何适应企业的网络位置和技术多样性。基于151家生物医药企业样本的研究结果表明,相对网络位置和技术多样性分别与企业间技术联盟的成功呈显著正相关和负相关。研究结果表明,企业间技术联盟的成功不仅取决于企业的探索学习能力,还取决于企业的相对网络位置和技术多样性。该研究揭示了企业间技术合作的一些重要含义。

This paper employs the concepts of metafrontier, group frontiers and technology gap ratio for the purpose of investigating differences in R&D efficiency across groups of firms. The study finds that R&D employees, physical capital, R&D expenditure and patent citations are important to produce patents. Large firms with more R&D manpower are associated with higher R&D efficiency. The estimated output elasticity for R&D expenditure input and physical capital input for large firms is higher than that for small firms. The estimated output elasticity for patent citation input in a large firm sample is slightly smaller than that in a small firm sample. Small firm groups are much closer to metafrontier than large firm groups. Small firms have higher R&D efficiency than large firms. The results provide new insights into R&D efficiency and the first step of policymaking to improve R&D environment.
本文采用元前沿、群体前沿和技术差距比的概念,考察企业群体间研发效率的差异。研究发现,研发人员、物质资本、研发支出和专利引用对专利产生有重要影响。企业规模大,研发人员越多,研发效率越高。大企业研发支出投入和实物资本投入的产出弹性估计高于小企业。在大企业样本中,专利引文输入的估计输出弹性略小于小企业样本。小公司集团比大公司集团更接近元前沿。小企业的研发效率高于大企业。研究结果为研究研发效率提供了新的视角,也为改善研发环境提供了第一步。

This study examines the relationship between scenario planning and participant perceptions of grief in organisational change. Scenario planning projects were designed and facilitated for each of the four organisations as part of an applied research project utilising quasi-experimental research methods. The literature review and theoretical framework in the study focused on the social relationships associated with: 1) resistance to change; 2) perceptions of complex change; 3) loss and grief; 4) coping skills and complex change in organisations. Utilising the scenario planning framework was hypothesised to decrease the amount of grief within the organisations experiencing significant grief and complex change. The findings of the study indicated the scenario planning intervention significantly increased participant reports of grief in organisational change processes. While this is contrary to research hypotheses, various possible explanations are offered, though additional research will be required to further understand the impact of scenario planning on grief management in organisations.
本研究探讨了情景规划与组织变革中参与者的悲伤感知之间的关系。作为利用准实验研究方法的应用研究项目的一部分,为四个组织中的每一个组织设计和促进了情景规划项目。本研究的文献综述和理论框架主要集中在与以下因素相关的社会关系:1)抗拒变化;2)对复杂变化的感知;3)失落和悲伤;4)应对技能和组织中的复杂变化。假设利用情景规划框架来减少经历重大悲伤和复杂变化的组织内的悲伤数量。研究结果表明,情景规划干预显著增加了被试在组织变革过程中的悲伤报告。虽然这与研究假设相反,但提供了各种可能的解释,尽管需要进一步的研究来进一步了解情景规划对组织中悲伤管理的影响。

In this paper we present a multi-agent architecture based on wind power prediction using neural network (NN), this process aims to implement smart micro-grid with different generation units like wind turbines and fuel generators. In the proposed architecture this micro-grid can exchange electricity with the main grid therefore it can buy or sell electricity. The main objective is to find the optimal policy using average wind speed prediction for the next hour in order to maximise the benefit and minimise the cost. To forecast the wind speed and taking into account the convergent speed and convergent accuracy, we propose in this paper an NN based on hybrid weighted algorithm combining back-propagation (BP) algorithm with particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm referred to as W-BP-PSO. Finally, for the simulation, the Java Agent Development Framework (JADE) platform is used to implement the approach and analyse the results.
本文提出了一种基于神经网络(NN)的风电功率预测的多智能体结构,该过程旨在实现不同发电机组(如风力发电机和燃料发电机)的智能微电网。在提出的架构中,微电网可以与主电网交换电力,因此它可以买卖电力。主要目标是利用预测未来一小时的平均风速找到最优策略,以实现效益最大化和成本最小化。为了预测风速并兼顾收敛速度和收敛精度,本文提出了一种结合反向传播(BP)算法和粒子群优化(PSO)算法的混合加权神经网络,称为W-BP-PSO。最后,在Java Agent Development Framework (JADE)平台上进行了仿真,并对仿真结果进行了分析。

Finally, for the simulation, the Java Agent Development Framework (JADE) platform is used to implement the approach and analyse the results.","PeriodicalId":52540,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Technology Intelligence and Planning","volume":"191 1","pages":"20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85415446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we will present the firm's knowledge base function and introduce an optimisation problem where the firm seeks to maximise its profits with scarce knowledge assets. In this, it has to share its knowledge assets between activities that help to increase the firm's knowledge base and activities that are needed to protect and exploit the knowledge. In addition to these choices, the firm meets a question of whether and how to use partnerships when trying to maximise profits based on the knowledge assets that can be more or less protected. We will present the evolutionarily inspired optimisation problems as perspectives of one company, two companies and three companies and introduce the differential evolution algorithm as a solution to the optimisation problems. Our simulation results show that by proper optimisation of resource allocations, a company can achieve a sustainable advantage compared with other companies.
在本文中,我们将展示企业的知识库函数,并引入一个优化问题,其中企业寻求利用稀缺的知识资产实现利润最大化。在这种情况下,它必须在有助于增加公司知识库的活动和保护和利用知识所需的活动之间共享其知识资产。除了这些选择之外,企业还面临一个问题,即在试图基于或多或少受到保护的知识资产实现利润最大化时,是否以及如何利用伙伴关系。我们将以一家公司、两家公司和三家公司的视角来呈现进化启发的优化问题,并引入差分进化算法作为优化问题的解决方案。仿真结果表明,通过合理优化资源配置,企业可以获得相对于其他企业的持续优势。
