However, the Hong Kong toy industry is mainly original engineering manufacturing (OEM) and does not invest much in R&D and new product development (NPD). With the rising competition from the Chinese mainland and other Asian countries, Hong Kong toy companies have realized the weakness and started to invest more in R&D and NPD. The research reported in this paper aims to explore the critical success factors (CSF) for new product development in the Hong Kong toy industry.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

This paper attempts to illustrate the impact of differing product strategies on product innovation processes pursued by healthcare firms. The approach taken centres on recognising a definite split between pioneering product strategies and late entrant product strategies. The product innovation processes of two firms are then investigated and compared. The findings from the study are far from conclusive and need to be treated with some caution. However there seems to be some evidence that in defining themselves as pioneers or late entrants, firms (in some cases unknowingly) are also defining the processes they use for innovation. By doing so a set of innovation success factors has emerged for both pioneers and late entrants.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

The environmental conditions from these sites are thus expected to be bad especially in terms of the contamination of soil, air, surface and underground water, and also impacts on flora and fauna including human. The contamination associated with solid waste disposal sites involved three major environmental compartments or media, i.e. the atmosphere, water and soil. This 'Cross media' or 'Multimedia' impacts phenomenon has been recognised in various countries as being of potential importance and complicated. This study discusses on the development of simple evaluation systems by using the Delphi Approach, which emphasises on the development of weightage for different parameters selected in the evaluation procedures. Environmental conditions of all closed and active disposal sites in the study area from 9 different points of view (water quality, social, gas emissions, landuse, hydrology, geology, ecotoxicology, plant ecology and chemical constituents) were assessed, which has taken into consideration 59 selected parameters. The Landfill Pollution Index (LPI) was introduced and made into a software, which is more user friendly and requires minimum inputs from the user. The LPI incorporated with 4 other subindices, i.e. the Environmental Degradation Index (EDI) for water quality, gas emission, chemicals in surface water and chemicals in groundwater. The results of assessments indicated that most of the solid waste disposal sites in the study area showed relatively bad environmental conditions especially the operating or active site, i.e. Taman Beringin landfill site. Taman Beringin was the most polluted landfill with the LPI of 719.56, followed by Jinjang Utara (383.51), Paka 1 (197.66), Brickfields (128.90), Paka 2 (113.72), Sri Petaling (30.81) and Sungei Besi (17.87).","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

This paper attempts to develop a systematic methodology to assess technological capability. Through technological capability assessment, it helps the firm to appraise its strength and weakness of technology-based core capability, and to understand the breakthrough of technological capability enhancement. In order to set up the systematical technological capability assessment indicators, the paper first addresses the concept of technological capability and regards technological capability as the potential capacities, firm-specific knowledge and skills embedded in the hardware, software, and organization and individuals. Firm's technological capability consists of four determinants, namely humanware, technoware, inforware and organware. Secondly, depending upon the definition of technological capability, this paper presents the assessment indicators and measurement multiplicative model to evaluate technological capability. Thirdly, depending on the technological capability assessment and measure methodology, the paper uses some cases of Chinese manufacturing industry to address the application of this methodology.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

Qi","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2001.952004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2001.952004","url":null,"abstract":"In the new era of electronic commerce (EC), electronic data interchange (EDI) is continuously playing a critical role for many businesses. EDI can reduce cost and improve service and thus is a valuable tool in enhancing a company's competitiveness. In this paper, we use a simple EDI adoption model to capture a supplier's decision process in adoption of EDI, and to study the impacts of EDI on the supplier. Results show that the supplier may exercise price discrimination towards its downstream buyers, due to EDI adoption and the heterogeneity of each buyer's EDI system. Depending on the supplier's economic behavior and EDI adoption cost, the supplier may benefit the most by adopting all, a fraction, or none of its buyers' EDI systems. As a result, buyers whose EDI systems are not adopted by the supplier may lose their competitiveness. Consequently, the supplier's buyers' base may be reduced due to EDI adoption. This result is consistent with the scenario in the retailing industry observed by Schiller and Zellner (1992), and it is also reported in European Commission (1997).","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

The practice of biostatistics has long been seen as a crucial element of the regulatory process for approving the release of new drugs and medical devices, but the authors hypothesize that it serves a larger role in the new product development process in pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. To this end, they focus on the management of Biostatistics and related know how such as data mining in the discovery, testing, and commercialization of new products. Their results are drawn from a number of in-depth case studies of biostatistical practices in a variety of firms engaged in life-science product development. The findings point to the importance of biostatistics in providing both technical and strategic information. To the extent that Biostatistics is managed as a learning system, it is critical for building core capability and enabling resource configurations that create value.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.
