This paper examines the history of the virtual agency concept and its important characteristics. The paper identifies the potential benefits and associated risks involved in managing research and development within a virtual agency. Three cases are examined where the virtual agency concept has been applied to research and development programs in the United States: the High Performance Computing and Communications initiative, the Next Generation Internet, and the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles. The case studies indicate that the research and development process is attempting to balance formal process controls with the agility to adapt rapidly to new research opportunities. Virtual agencies can be used to improve organizational efficiency, improve knowledge transfer, increase interoperability through standards, provide better alignment of agency missions with national policy, and introduce increased flexibility into the research and development process. At the same time, the virtual agency concept has major risks including inefficiencies due to organizational complexity, the danger of collective myopia, the problem of adopting standards too early, the difficulty of reaching objectives in a loose organizational structure, and the problem of properly balancing the tension between agency mission objectives and national policy agendas.","PeriodicalId":239656,"journal":{"name":"MIT Sloan School of Management Working Paper Series","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127929227","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}

{"title":"Intelligent Energy","authors":"H. Weil","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3676584","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3676584","url":null,"abstract":"The sources of value and growth in the energy sector are shifting significantly. Energy as a product is a commodity. Energy as a service (EaaS) creates value by solving important problems for a segment of customers. “Intelligent energy” is the next generation of EaaS. Intelligent energy solutions involve innovative business models that use customer information to create value. Most business model innovations are platform plays. This paper presents a conceptual model of platform development and the dynamics that can lead to a dominant platform in an application, e.g., search, or a market sector, e.g., retail. Intelligent energy applications already span a wide range of domains, e.g., building management, manufacturing, energy infrastructure, oil and gas production, and mobility. A series of examples are discussed and mobility is the subject of a detailed case study. The case study demonstrates the importance of changing the business model as the market evolves. There will be major opportunities for intelligent energy solutions, but the nature and timing of these opportunities will change as the streams of vehicle technology develop and converge. The mobility scenario is a potential future, not a forecast. It does however highlight several characteristics of intelligent energy opportunities. First, many are transient. Second, innovative business models often are required to capture the value. Third, trust plays a central role in the implementation of intelligent energy. Finally, new intelligent energy solutions start with no users. The operator must build a user base, earn the trust of early users, and capture a critical mass of user information as quickly as possible. The way forward will exploit artificial intelligence and machine learning to power the learn more/serve better dynamics that lie at the center of most intelligent energy models.","PeriodicalId":239656,"journal":{"name":"MIT Sloan School of Management Working Paper Series","volume":"49 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120981858","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}
