It is widely acknowledged that users are important actors in innovation projects. Going beyond traditional market research and integrating the customer directly into the innovation process is suggested to be an important measure for market-oriented innovation management. In particular this paper reports on research in the context of innovation management, especially using ethnographic approaches. The cases presented will illustrate the realization of ethnographic approaches in the business to business market. Within innovation market research at Deutsche Telekom Laboratories cross-functional teams engage in such studies. Within this case, observers followed heavy users for mobile email in business context. They documented their usual workweek and their user behavior with mobile email applications in order to understand usage habits as well as usage barriers. The article will provide a praxis oriented overview on the application of ethnographic research as tool of customer integration in innovation management of Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and the adaptation of new methodological approaches according to specific research settings.","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":"126525629","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 2004, SBM has developed a curriculum offering a course in entrepreneurship and a 3-course series for SBM-only students to plan, run a business, and to do a community service using the profits made. It has been acknowledged as an innovative approach in educating entrepreneurs. Learning from the curriculum implementation for the last 4 years has led us to develop a more innovative program, called Entrepreneurship Track (e-Track). This program offers students from all schools and faculties in the university to establish real businesses in the last year of their study. This program is intended to mix students from various disciplines to work together and establish technology-based businesses. The paper records lessons learned and offers an alternative in educating techno-preneurs. It discusses not only the curriculum, but also infrastructures needed to facilitate its implementation.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"31 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":"126541740","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}

Studies have shown that innovations in medical technology are one of the stronger factors that drive the upward trend of healthcare delivery costs. Many national and regional healthcare agencies and policy makers are recognizing the need for more accurate knowledge on the generation and diffusion of innovations in healthcare technologies. The focus of this paper is a comparison of the assessment of health and medical technologies in two different models of national health delivery systems: Italy and the United States. The role of health technology as a significant driver of the rising costs of healthcare delivery is well documented. Less studied is the manner in which health technologies are acquired and adopted by providers in different national systems. The authors frame the issues and compare the factors that impinge upon the diffusion of medical technologies from industry to providers in a publicly planned and funded health system and in a mostly privately-funded national health system. As the two national systems seem to converge in many aspects of national policy making, the authors explore the assessment of healthcare technologies in the short and longer terms. Are there differences and similarities in the assessment methodologies used by the different systems and, if so, how do these affect the healthcare delivery system? The authors suggest some possible answers.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"55 2 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":"126076247","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}

Sound asset management decisions that are based on a thorough understanding of the modern business context are needed. When it comes to the decision to dispose of assets, managers tend to avoid making the final decision, sometimes mothballing the asset and leaving it to self-destruct. This could cause either safety hazards at a plant or environmental neglect. In many organisations there is a clear divide between the project teams and operations teams. The project team's responsibility ends when the asset reaches beneficial operation. The operations team then becomes the “owner” of the asset. During the operational phase of an asset, decisions typically include cost, risk and performance as tradeoffs in the decision criteria. This happens in an ever changing business and technological environment. Decisions regarding the use of assets can be made at any stage of the asset life-cycle and at various levels of an organisation. The renewal or decommissioning phase of the asset life-cycle is perhaps just as important as an initial establishment decision as it is another stage that large capital amounts are committed, given the risk that a poor decision can carry a heavy penalty for many years to come. To assess whether decision-making models and tools are effectively used in industry to make asset disposal decisions, a survey was conducted within a large petro-chemical organisation in South Africa. A survey was chosen to conduct this research as the maximum feedback could then be obtained within a limited timeframe. A number of conclusions could be reached from the study with regards to the use of decision making models and tools at different departments and different levels of the organisation.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"18 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":"116577941","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}

This paper proposes a model from developing a mathematical concept and process technologies to accompany companies from rut to change. For that, an integrated process has been adopted. By using Function Analysis System Technique (FAST), daily activities have been mapped. And by utilizing Equivalence Relation, each function of FAST diagram has been associated with its equivalent function in a technology. At the end of that process, a technology transform of daily activities has been obtained. Then the same process is implemented in a case of an international cell phone enterprise based in Madagascar. Analyzing the framework of its daily activities, a process of engineering has been identified. It sequences Competitive Intelligence (CI) and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS). The paper discusses that (CI) and (TIPS) are innovation technologies whose targets are the improvement and upgrading of competitiveness. The results of this research find that rut can be changed. The conclusion is that the above model integrates characteristics of knowledge management and innovation process.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"7 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":"125200565","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}

Therefore, without having the contents of a patent thoroughly examined by experts, we cannot understand its true innovation value by using the current information analysis technology. Since, the process of qualitative research, on the other hand, is a complicated and time-consuming task, this paper proposes a Key Patent Analysis Process (KPAP). KPAP uses the “focusing first, and then finding the details” idea to prove the feasibility of this method by giving a specific case. Firstly, we propose using a patent family to effectively retrieve the key patents to meet the requirements of the innovation design; then we propose proceeding to the next step using a patent citation to broaden the search field to thoroughly comprehend the development in a specific technology field. Finally, we use TRIZ to create a technology performance map and technology development niche, and to effectively solve the possible engineering obstacles that may come to mind at the detail designing stage. The model suggested by this research can indeed promote the effectiveness of patent technology to extract useful patent intelligence; moreover, it improves the overall efficiency of new product designs.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"3 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":"125329651","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}

More specifically, this study also analysis the consumer cosmopolitanism while they face the decision in choosing local or foreign banks. Following the literature review, the paper proposed four variables, which were past experience, localism, cosmopolitanism, and consumer ethnocentrism. Research data were analysis by structure equation model. The result of the research indicated that consumers were showing no differences between local and foreign banks. Furthermore, in this research, the evaluation of past experience was including four dimensions: travels, expatriate stays, cross-cultural training, and social status seeking. The result indicated that there is no difference between local and foreign banks consumer in expatriate stays, cross cultural training, and social status seeking. Travels were the only factor which influences consumers' choice in choosing local and foreign banks. However, it may due the need to use financial service while in other country. Insights derived from this study will provide bank managers and advertising executives with the building blocks for understanding consumers' choice criteria of banks in Taiwan.","PeriodicalId":185147,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"111 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":"122916297","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}
