ETMERC encourages education in the field of management of technology, and serves as a central information resource for practitioners. As part of its mission the association facilitates the exchange of information, supports the expansion of engineering and technology management, and assists in benchmarking for educational standards. Understandably, the organization is interested in metrics of knowledge creation and diffusion in support of its mission. The Portland International Center for Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET) hosted nine conferences on the field of management of technology. The proceedings of the conferences serve as a knowledge base for further analysis in this paper. There are three key contributions of this paper: the paper updates previous efforts to mine PICMET; provides key indicators in support of the ETMERC mission; and examines new approaches to modeling and forecasting trends in knowledge. The paper employs a loglets approach for understanding waves of concepts emerging over time. The paper also employs a hierarchical random graph technique for analyzing the architectural and combinatorial character of these emergent concepts. The paper concludes with a reflection on the relevance of the findings for supporting the educational and informational mission of ETMERC.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115763985","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 goal of meeting today's needs without harming future generations' ability to realize their potential is the hallmark of sustainable practices, and there is widespread interest from many disciplines and sectors in developing, enhancing, and integrating sustainability into aspects of products, services, and solutions. Thus, the need to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives to make contributions to sustainability initiatives and processes has never been greater. Sustainability can be taught in many disciplines, including, but not limited to: design, engineering, manufacturing, technology, and management. This paper outlines how sustainability can be taught in these areas, and how sustainability might be integrated into the curriculum from three perspectives: course, program and degree. At the course level, examples of how to integrate the concepts and applications of sustainability into existing material will be discussed. Program-level considerations for teaching sustainability will also be examined. The current situation and the demand for a sustainable knowledge in the workplace and how that might lead to a sustainable degree will be addressed. An inventory of green jobs and careers will be investigated and how sustainable courses, programs and degrees can support the future global workforce and address stakeholder's needs wants and expectations in a sustainable, low carbon world.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125233693","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}

We applied the model to as many as five groups from two divisions of this R&D center, where exploratory research is being conducted. We set up two types of teams: teams with the highly autonomous management model and those as controls, which were under the usual management. After several months of the experiment, we analyzed the effects, using questionnaires, on the researchers' intention and tendency from diversified points of view including which management they were applied to, and which division they belonged to. As a result, it was confirmed that there were significant differences in the answers regarding the effects on the researchers' intention and tendency between the two types of teams above. It was also confirmed that this was not contingent on their attributes such as their divisions. Additionally, interviews of the group leaders were also conducted and it was suggested from the results that our model was successfully applied as a management model to promote exploratory research in a company.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116903484","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}

According to the Quality Improvement Paradigm, the first phase is characterization. This paper presents a developed methodology for characterizing a software process. The methods include software process assessment and modeling. Using an assessment driven process modeling methodology we can create a descriptive model that characterizes the current process, and a prescriptive model containing improvement suggestions. The selected processes are reviewed and the process components are gathered according to a software engineering process meta-model. The SPICE assessment model is utilized in process reviews. In a case study the methodology is applied to characterize the software process of a small enterprise. The current process is defined and its process capability and product quality are determined. The enterprise's process guide, the produced work products and the projects workload are analyzed. This paper reports the experiences of using the methodology and presents a way to analyze the implications caused by the differences between the existing process guidance and the actually implemented process.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126610191","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}

Many researchers have explored the importance of modular product design, its design methods and its effects on product performance. However, a few empirical studies explicitly examine how to coordinate modular product design in a managerial way. This paper addresses this issue by conducting multiple case studies with six companies that have successfully adopted modular product design for five years in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta, China. Seven critical factors are explored in the management of modular product design. These are: pre-defined product advantage, selectively used design rules, module definition, system integration, technological newness, internal communication, and supplier and customer involvement. The results compile a managerial guide for product development managers. While a majority of modular design literature studies the technical side of modular design within a firm, this study focuses on the managerial side across the supply chain. It gives new insights on how to manage modular product design and proposes future research opportunities.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115026352","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}

Baldwin et al. emphasized the power of modularity using the design structure matrix (DSM) with regards to complexity. There is no research on interdependences among companies by using the DSM; therefore, I conducted such research. Companies in the LCD industry want to produce larger LCD panels than each other by using customized equipments. According to the analysis by the DSM, the higher the interdependences among the companies, the higher the degree of integral business architecture of the industry. In contrast, the LSI industry uses a standard silicon wafer size as a “design rule”, which reduces the interdependences as shown by the DSM analysis results. Therefore, the lower the interdependences among the companies, the higher the degree of modular business architecture of the industry. In addition, the dynamics of the interdependences was analyzed. The results showed that by following a process from planning to operation, the interdependences in an industry with integral business architecture are reduced. By DSM analysis, I found the business architecture and dynamics of interdependences in the LCD and LSI industries.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115050804","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}

Development of technology clusters is a dynamic process, which is influenced by a variety of internal and external factors. Availability of skilled labor, presence of functioning networks and partnerships, and evolution of the industry are among the key factors. According to Ann Markusen, technology clusters can be distinguished from one another based on their fundamental typology: the Marshallian form, Hub-and-Spoke form, Satellite form, and State-centered form. However, the effect of cluster typology on the development of cluster has not been studied. In this paper, we investigate 15 metropolitan-based technology clusters in the United States, covering communications equipment manufacturing, information technology, and biopharmaceutical sectors. By examining the composition of these high-tech clusters, we observe: 1) how these technology structures have changed their typology over time; 2) differences in cluster typology among different industries. Our analysis results suggest that the map of cluster typology varies significantly for different industries. In addition, our analysis results suggest that the long-term sustainability of a cluster is largely determined by the prosperity of small-and-medium firms within the cluster.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"31 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116119890","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 research also discusses the mediation effect of corporate environmental ethics between green relationship learning and green innovation performance. With the increasing trend of environmentalism, green innovation becomes a critical factor for companies to obtain sustainable development. This study proposes the three hypotheses. First, this research asserts that green relationship learning can facilitate corporate environmental ethics. Second, the study posits that corporate environmental ethics has a positive association with green innovation. Third, this study argues that corporate environmental ethics is a mediator between green relationship learning and green innovation. This study is conducted in the Taiwanese manufacturing industry to test the above research hypotheses. The results show that green relationship learning has a positive effect on corporate environmental ethics which affects green innovation performance positively. In addition, the results verify that corporate environmental ethics is a mediator between green relationship learning and green innovation performance.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"546 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114274250","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}
