Chu, Shih-How Liu","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2001.951814","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2001.951814","url":null,"abstract":"Summary form only given. The process of rapidly disseminating, generating, and diffusing the engineering knowledge in the product and process development (PPD) has been a key imperative for the sustained growth of technology-based firms. Taiwan's personal computer (PC) image scanner industry serves as a good example. They have established, in the past decade, a high degree of proficiency in the process, as demonstrated in their rapid product development, seamless process integration, and efficient technology dissemination and diffusion. Their effectiveness in capturing the dynamics and leveraging the asset in the process, however, still leaves much to be desired. This study is directed to investigating a knowledge diffusion and management (KDM) model designed to illustrate the ways to leverage both the R&D asset and the knowledge capital to further enhance the product development performance. Central to the model is an ontology-based knowledge mapping process, which is formulated to govern the knowledge flow and to mediate the discourse between KDM and PPD systems. A prototype model built on top of the knowledge-based knowledge flow system is developed to illuminate the co-evolution of PPD and KDM systems. Applications to the scanner PPD processes is demonstrated to evaluate the various ways the KDM model can be used to enhance the capabilities of a PPD organization in knowledge generation and diffusion.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

According to our analysis, advanced technology areas, especially biotechnology, information technology, and environmental technology are identified as important SSTFs of Korean regions. This indicates that Korean regions are aiming at developing future-oriented sectoral and national innovation systems.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

A number of telecom companies in the US embarked on a corporate strategy to position themselves as major players in local and international markets by growing rapidly through mergers and acquisitions. This should have positioned these firms very well for the next generation licenses that will be auctioned off in the United States. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether these merger and acquisition strategies were successful in general and, in particular, which firms benefited the most from this corporate strategy. In our analysis, we investigate short and intermediate term stock price performance for individual firms as well as for a group of firms such as local and long distance bidders. These classifications reveal some interesting insights into the question who gained form these mergers and who is well positioned for the future. In addition, we estimate the market perception of telecom mergers' synergies by measuring the change in combined market values of bidders and targets after the merger announcements. Finally, we assess the probability that mergers would proceed by examination of the change in the relative movement of bidders and targets prices before and after the merger.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

This paper describes the third phase of a 3-phase study conducted for improving the efficiency of decision making and operations in sales and marketing activities in a bank. The result of the study have been adopted and incorporated into the infrastructure of the bank. The goal was to define the variables that best explain bank potential, profitability, loyalty and risk. Using these variables, models were constructed for the estimation of the classification factors that enabled us to make more efficient selections of target groups for sales and marketing operations. In this construction, the neural network was able to yield better classification results than the participating sales offices did on an average. The neural network modeled for this study was much faster than the human workforce. Using the neural network, it was possible to classify the material used in this study in relation to three segmenting classification criteria in just one day. The goal of this study-a more effective classification process and utilization of consequential effects-was reached. The additional benefits of lower classification costs, smaller amount of marketing material required, and lesser amount of contacting required, show that the use of the model saves a great deal of money.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

The company is called ISSPRO Inc., a medium partner in the auto heavy construction industry. The company's growth was maintained by the increased investment in new products sales and new aftermarket product lines. ISSPRO has experienced an excessive value of inventory costs which has affected the company's cost efficiency. Our research goal is to improve cost efficiency and decrease processing time of the company. The alternative hypothesis has been created for making rational decisions about the reality of effects. Our alternative hypothesis is that the Kanban concepts could be applied to help to increase cost efficiency as well as decrease processing time. This paper discusses this hypothesis and its testing and concludes that Kanban can reduce costs and lead-times.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

A balanced and efficient allocation of R&D resources is a crucial element of corporate strategies aimed at enhancing firms' competitiveness. This paper evaluates R&D strategy of Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS), a monopolistic state-owned gas company, with respect to efficiency of its project selection and technology stock accumulation. We measure technology stocks and their associated spillovers in order to assess the extent of allocative efficiency of R&D expenditure across a set of peer groups of research and development projects. We also combine the technology relation analysis with the measurement of the technology stock, although the two have been heretofore considered to be separate analytical tools. Technology stocks of 45 peer projects were evaluated, allowing us to derive a technology map of R&D fields of KOGAS. Our empirical findings imply that, in allocating its R&D resources, KOGAS was putting too much emphasis on operation and maintenance of its facilities. We therefore suggest that KOGAS may wish to reallocate its R&D resources to other research areas such as the development of new energy sources, participation in the overseas gas markets and design of the strategies conducive to its becoming what its vision is: being a world-class energy company.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

The organization design correlates that will maximize patent productivity are the push factors of IP.

The current confusion and many different traditions regarding the content of MoT leads to the identification of a need for a contingency model for MoT theory. And contingency factors should be related to empirical challenges of firms, thereby enabling technology managers to apply MoT theory pragmatically. It is argued that existing mappings of MoT theory are, indeed, not sufficiently related to empirical contingency factors. Thus, the main purpose of the paper is to discuss such empirical contingency factors that could be applied to MoT theory and make it more useful for technology managers in practice. The well-known distinction between technology exploitation and disruptive technological change is discussed and dismissed as too simplistic. Instead, three situations for technology management are formulated and briefly related to MoT theory to round up the paper. The latter forms the main contribution of the paper.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01. Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology.
