Depletion of conventional resources forces countries to develop effective strategies on energy mix. This requires a novel normative approach in planning for and supporting research on different energy resources. The authors describe how they developed an initial version of a simulation game model for decision makers of the Turkish energy sector using system dynamics. Since this methodology has not been used in this field in Turkey, but is a common tool in more developed countries, it can help in solving decision problems in energy investments.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

This fact was pointed out in the first half of the last century by Joseph Schumpeter, whose work emphasizes the importance of innovation and technological progress in the development of companies and economy. In spite of the strategic importance of knowledge in terms of competitiveness, studies on knowledge management in Brazilian companies are still incipient. This work aims to analyze the practical behavior of companies in relation to knowledge management. A survey was done at 56 companies participating in a university/enterprise cooperation program, trying to understand how executives act when faced with the challenge of treating knowledge as the most important patrimony of the company and consequently, learning as the most important organizational process.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

Under conditions of uncertainty, investment flexibility is an important and valuable consideration. There is a growing view that the techniques used to evaluate financial options might be appropriate in certain circumstances for evaluating capital investments that have option like characteristics. These types of investment choices are often referred to as real options as the investment opportunities typically involve real assets (information systems, factories, new products, etc.) rather than paper-based assets (stocks, bonds, currencies, etc.). One significant aspect of this research is the use of a real options approach to determine the optimal start-up date of IS investments. The approach reported here draws an analogy between the impact of stock dividends on the early exercise of American style call options and foregone project cash flow and investment deferral. This approach has significant advantages over other valuation methods that are based on options pricing theory.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

An enterprise must transform its strategy from efficiency orientation to innovation orientation. It must continuously reconsider, optimize business management, renovate information systems and improve business processes, especially optimize and improve the product development process. Some enterprises have begun to apply workflow analysis to improve business processes with the help of universities and research institutions, such as the reengineering of the registration process, commercial and industrial administration, future-oriented shopping processes on the web, and manufacturing oriented management processes. Workflow Management is the technology that supports re-organization of business processes and information processes, including three major aspects: process modeling; business process reengineering; and workflow, implementation and automation.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

The WAP (wireless application protocol) bridges the gap between the mobile world and the Internet as well as corporate intranets. In Malaysia mobile telecommunication was introduced in 1986. The introduction of WAP technology in Malaysia by Celcom, Maxis, and Time has opened another marketing channel to deliver product and services to the consumers. This has created a new interest to study the acceptance level among the users of WAP as a marketing strategy. The present paper analyses the consumer perception about the use of WAP technology as a marketing strategy. The present study was carried out with a sample of 136 consumers drawn from diversified groups of consumers of Malaysia. The present study evaluates the consumers' perception on WAP technology.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

Dino Ruta","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2001.951785","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2001.951785","url":null,"abstract":"Summary form only given. Some activities of a value chain can be integrated into a knowledge value network, where connected lines represent the flow of knowledge. These flows may be accomplished solely through face-to-face, telephone and written communication, or supplemented with more advanced information technology. The goal of a knowledge management strategy should be to understand the presence of knowledge communities and. the various channels of knowledge sharing within and between them, and to apply the technology appropriately. The new definition of value chain is value network, an organization's activities and linkages between them. Competitive advantage can be achieved relative to other firms by restructuring the value chain in order to increase customer value. Beneficial restructuring can result from establishing linkages between activities (both primarily and supporting) that allow firm to be more responsive or more agile than other firms. Focusing in knowledge flow between activities creates more significant competitive,advantages that are more sustainable than improvements of efficiency within single activities. Whereas a \"chain\" implies sequential flow, a \"network\" carries a connotation of multidimensional interconnectedness. Knowledge, does not come from processes or activities; it comes from people and communities of people. So, not,only must we reinterpret the value chain as a value network, but, the activities become knowledge communities of people who perform those activities. And the activity linkages become flows of knowledge between those communities.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.
