The analyses are conducted in China and Thailand where Japanese companies locate R&D (research and development) function heavily. In China, the MNCs of Taiwan and the United States are very active in creating IPs compared to their foreign direct investment (FDI). In Thailand, the MNCs of the United States are active in creating IPs compared to their FDI volume. Japanese MNCs are extremely inactive in creating IPs compared to their FDI volume. For the involvement of local talents, the involvement of local talents is low for patent creation and is high for industrial design creation in the case of Japanese MNCs in Thailand.","PeriodicalId":148200,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124405113","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}

Under the ATO production environment, the final product is assembled from different components that are produced in a make-to-stock system. The focus of this paper is on how to manage the appropriate stock quantities for each related component throughout the production process in ATO system. The DSS generates scenarios based on management specifications such as the effect of variations in demand, stock control level, re-order point, total cost and lead time. The proposed system can be used to improve inventory management, profit and inventory cost calculations in practical problems between supplier and order placement in production system.","PeriodicalId":148200,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125019577","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}

Thus, we examined the role of CSR on the different processes of innovation in an empirical study. Using a sample of Chinese firms, this study shows that CSR can strengthen the positive linkage between R&D investment and innovation outcome (measured by counts of patents) in research and development (R&D) process. However, our finding shows that the interaction between CSR and counts of patents has a negative impact on firm market value in the commercialization process, probably because of the excessive use of firm limited resources, which leads to the decline of firm performance.","PeriodicalId":148200,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126132759","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}

The capacity to achieve both exploration and exploitation is especially problematic in project based organizations due to projects' discontinuous nature. In this study we investigate how exploration and exploitation is managed in inter-organizational projects, through a multiple case study of seven construction projects. Tentative findings show that project actors focus more on exploitation than on exploration and that exploitation often involves adopting conventional methods and solutions without any development efforts. The findings also reveal that investment in explorative innovations must be possible to exploit in the current project, since exploitation in future projects is uncertain.","PeriodicalId":148200,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125315333","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}

However, the traditional valuation approaches for an entrepreneurial enterprise need many important premises that are not the case for an entrepreneurial enterprise. We insist that the key to approaching the valuation be to focus on the availability of alternative technologies and their future impact. A research framework should be created to combine the latest option research results to explain valuation of an entrepreneurial enterprise.","PeriodicalId":148200,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130802728","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}

However, the “complementary or substitution” argument about the relationship among search strategies existed in recent studies, which hinders the reconfiguration of technological innovation capability. Thus, based on data from 253 high-tech enterprises, this paper employed cluster analysis and multi-logistic regression method to study the relationship between technology search and types of technological innovation capability during its reconfiguration process. There are several important results. Firstly, there are two dominant types of technological innovation capability during each stage of capability reconfiguration: a) knowledge assimilation capability; b) knowledge assimilation and creation capability. Secondly, there are different technology search facilitate each type of technological innovation capability during its reconfiguration: a)compared to other search strategy, the synergy between external boundary spanning search and internal boundary spanning search strategy, more easily lead to knowledge assimilation capability(compared to other capability structure types); b)compared to other knowledge search strategy, external boundary spanning search is more likely to result in knowledge assimilation and creation capability (compared to other types of capability structure types). This paper not only contributes dynamic capability and capability reconfiguration perspectives, but also has managerial implications.","PeriodicalId":148200,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114479714","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}

It has been observed that GSCME6 (top management commitment and support) has high influencing factor.
