With the increasing popularity of network, network failure has already become a hot topic recently. This paper summarizes the conception of network failure according to network functions. It is defined as the state or event, in which the network cannot transmit material, energy or information timely, completely and correctly according to customer requirements. Based on dialectic and systems science, this paper explains the transformation relationships between different network states, and expresses the drive of the transformation. Six main characteristics of network failure, namely universality, complexity, emergence, relativity, hierarchy and dynamic, are expounded separately. These characteristics form the basis of failure prevention and control. The contribution of this paper is to lay the foundation for the research of network failurology.

To improve enterprise inventory control strategy and optimize control parameters of inventory including external and interior reverse logistics, through applying periods' inventory checking strategy, a multi-sources inventory control model helpful to simulate the real logistics operations was proposed. Based on the arrival time of returned products following Poisson distribution, the returns production with lot-size processing method and the nonzero lead time of manufacturing/remanufacturing, a rational cost function of inventory control was established. Then the genetic algorithm was used to solve the inventory cost function so as to obtain the optimum solution of inventory checking periods, safe inventory point, production lot-sizes and processing lot-sizes of returns production. An example was presented to prove the feasibility and validity of the proposed method, and the proposed model can help the enterprises to implement multisources inventory control strategy.

How to improve technological capability and generate core competence is one of most critical issues faced by companies in a serious competitive business world, especially those in developing countries. The theory of open innovation provides a new model to make the strategies of technological capability generation without a well-established capability base, while it requires a company to improve its capabilities on alliance strategies and alliance management. Based on theoretical and practical research, this paper argues that open innovation strategy contributes to the development of technological capability. External technology sourcing, particularly the alliances, plays a critical role in improving technological capability of companies. The process of technological capability development is a process to construct and manage open alliances. Due to its changing existed capabilities and available internal and external resources, a company has to make distinguish strategies to manage its external technology sourcing in its development stages. This research provides a new research framework on development of technological capability in emerging countries based on open innovation.

This comprehensive empirical analysis of the building energy efficiency market employs an approach of asymmetric game, from which some suggestions to the Government are put forward. In the last decade China has been increased interest in the provision of energy services that has also been driven by electricity and gas restructuring. In the year 1997, three pilot energy service companies (ESCOs) established in China. Based on the bounded rationality of players, an asymmetric game between the building owners and the energy service companies (ESCOs) is discussed in the domain of energy efficiency in buildings. The game model is built with the characteristics of imitator dynamic model, which comes to the conclusion that the final results basically depend on the initial conditions. Based on the review and analysis, we suggest the government to consider the characteristics in policy making.

The paper examines the technology enterprise. After the literature review, key motivation choices are listed out, namely training and development, authorization of innovation, promotion, involvement in management, which are optional incentives relevant to personal capability, as well as improvement of R&D working environment. The R&D personnel incentive-control mechanism is proposed based on the principal-agent relationship. Six groups, including MBA students, R&D personnel were selected as experimental subjects and corresponding experimental studies were performed after careful designing. The paper presents explorative discussion on the effectiveness and efficiency of two incentive-control mechanisms — trust and incentive- and has proposed a series of useful conclusions. In regard to effects and benefits, the experiment suggests that the trust incentive control method can achieve the win-win result under the unremitting learning condition.

A study was conducted to compare the electricity generation costs of fossil fuel plants, hydro plants, nuclear plants and a number of current commercial technologies expected to become commercially available within the coming decade or so in China. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions resulting per Kwh of electricity generated was evaluated. The objectives were to estimated the costs increase in different scenarios based various carbon reduction goals, and to suggest some potential economical routines for Chinese carbon reduction.

This paper discusses the data, the manipulation and services, which forms the foundation of information system. And then an fine-granularity access control model to object resource is built, which can be extended to many information system. The fine-granularity access control to internal resources of information system can be realized very easily. The access authority and application becomes more and more clarity.

This paper considers the relationship between product innovation and core competency that creates effective product innovation. Customers needs become diversified, meanwhile companies have to derive potential market needs and develop new products in order to survive. Therefore, core competency becomes more important to take advantage over their competitors and brings continuous product innovation. Companies should consider how core competency creates continuous product innovation. To create product innovation, the factors of own company's core competency should be carefully considered. It is important to correctly identify and select own core technology and apply it thoroughly, then combine technology seeds and customer needs for new product development. Three factors of core competency are presented for effective product innovation. The first factor is an acquisition of core technology, the second factor is an application of core technology, and the third factor is combining technology seeds and customer needs. For creating continuous product innovation, above three factors should be significantly strengthened, and they enable companies to enter diverse market.

Integrating the advantage of traditional batch production and piece production, lean production is being widely adopted by enterprises under customer-oriented market environment. This trend requires the appearance of scientific appraisal to lean production implementation, because reasonable appraisal has great significance to smooth application of lean production. On one hand, through scientific appraisal the enterprise that has been applying lean production can recognize its lean degree and identify improvement direction, on the other hand, the enterprises that still hold wait-and-see attitude can know the value of lean production exactly. In this paper, the index system of appraising lean production is set up, including financial indexes and also non-financial indexes. The lean factors are correlated, leading to enterprise's unique competence, so in the process of appraisal we use ANP to fix the weights of indexes. After introducing the unascertained theory, we set up the model to appraise lean production's implementation. At last a case is shown using the model put forward in this paper.

On the premise of our effort dependent on resource saving in one-supplier one-custom system, the mathematical models of saving-sharing contract were established, and the impact of effort factor on system collaboration was analyzed. Through studies on pure saving-sharing contract, the reasons of difficulty in product-service system collaboration were explained. To deal with this problem, the saving-sharing contract based on channel rebate and penalty was proposed, the object of system collaboration was achieved. Also, a method of defining the optimal contract parameters was provided. Finally, a numerical example was given to illustrate the model and the solution process.
