However, we have little knowledge about which types of innovation should be adopted to overcome bottlenecks occurred during the process of firm's growth. From the contingency perspective, this study investigated the nature of incremental innovation and radical innovation reflected in the technological innovation, managerial innovation, institutional innovation and marketing innovation in different stages of the growth of Lenovo, one of famous technology-intensive firms in the PRC. The experience of Lenovo's growth suggested that it's very important to select right innovation strategies throughout its life cycle stages. Based on the case study, we proposed a general model of the strategic decision of innovation for technology-intensive firms in the PRC, the largest emerging economy in the world. It suggested that at the start-up or decline phase, firms should adopt radical innovation for technology, management, institution and marketing. At the growth phase, firms should adopt radical innovation for institution, but incremental innovation for technology, management and marketing. At the maturity phase, firms should adopt incremental innovation for institution, management and marketing, but both incremental and radical innovation for technology.","PeriodicalId":153115,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115382210","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}

In fact, it has been cited as one of the major differences between performing and non-performing teams. Although lot of effort has been made to understand intra-group dynamics there is no fixed rule on how to improve it. We suggest that improvement of team dynamics is a context dependent subject and best results can only be achieved through team participation. This paper is a result of a study done at Schlumberger Oilfield Services to assess the intra-group dynamics of an R&D team. We first assess the intra-group dynamics level of the team through a questionnaire survey based on 7 pre-defined parameters. The survey was based on a Likert scale measurement and internal consistency of the survey was measured by calculating Cronbach's alpha for it. We confirm the findings through team members' perception of the 7 parameters and try to find measures of improving intra-group dynamics within the team through personal interviews and brain storming. Our hypothesis is that the team will be more dedicated to these measures because of their participation in the process.","PeriodicalId":153115,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132271080","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 survey focuses on a number of organizations drawn from an established taxonomy of organizations in Thailand using the stratified random sampling technique. The results indicate that (a) there is an established knowledge sharing culture supported by a corporate KM strategy, amongst high-tech organizations, as well as a preparedness for change to migrate to a knowledge creation culture; (b) a number of international organizations exhibit ad-hoc knowledge sharing practices as well as a growing awareness about the value of knowledge sharing and what can be termed as intangible assets; (c) a clear lack of any knowledge-oriented practice within ministry and department of public sectors. This empirical study provides a foundation to further the research and develop a framework for Thai organizations that promotes adoption of knowledge sharing practices as well as the migration from a knowledge sharing to a knowledge creation model.","PeriodicalId":153115,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116640063","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}
