First, using data from 234 enterprises in different industries, the author divides the enterprise innovation network into four types (manufacturer, islander, leader and follower), based on the cluster analysis. Second, using single-factor analysis of variance, the author finds the following conclusions-for SMEs, manufacturer and follower are better types of enterprise innovation network. Leaderpsilas performance of the new products is the best, but its economic performance is not better than the that of manufacturer and follower. Islanderpsilas performance of product innovation, process innovation and economic performance are lower than that of the other three types of innovation network. Thus, enterprise Innovation success requires not only a high-intensity innovation network, but also the network structure that meets the business goals.","PeriodicalId":332967,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"8 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130899534","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}

Services in different forms, contents and levels may influence the performance of incubated firms such as surviving rate and growth rate. We first classify incubator services into several types including infrastructure, educating, business assistance and networking services based on business practices and a careful literature review. Then some propositions were developed to link these services to the performance of incubated firms. Finally we construct a business model to illustrate the co-evolution process between incubator and incubatees, and how new services are generated and adopted in the process. We also consider the timing effect - the difference between incubating and nurturing phases. By employing a suitable operating model, an incubator is seen not only an enabler, but also an accelerator.","PeriodicalId":332967,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131399352","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}

While local business conditions affect innovation activities, there is non-negligible heterogeneity as well. For these analyses, we develop ldquoD-score,rdquo which is a difference between degrees of importance and satisfaction.

The research explored and validated 5 major factors that affect R&D team creativity by team shared mental models in Chinese context, including task characteristics, team formation, team leadership, member characteristics and organizational environment.

A growth in the number of products, which has been offered by different e-commerce platforms, leads to a technology which can help customers to choose and buy products. Collaborative filtering or recommender systems use a database about user preferences to predict additional topics or products a new user might like. This paper describes some algorithms designed for this task including cosine-based similarity algorithm and correlation-based similarity algorithm. The predictive accuracy of various methods in tourism recommender domains is compared. On the other hand, we have designed and implemented a recommender system in e-tourism in order to compare performance of these algorithms.

The decision process in negotiation is to get the mutual goal and gain. However, being due to complexity of negotiation process, negotiation of contracts is often still performed manually unsupported by computer systems or just by email. The e-negotiation is the computerized support of negotiation process over the internet. A successful e-negotiation leads to an e-contract. This paper proposes a reference template of e-negotiation based on extended entity-relationship data model (EER) and Interaction Protocol (IP) to express the static structure and dynamic behaviour of multi agents in e-negotiation. The development framework of the EERIP includes three levels, i.e. conceptual level, logical level and simulation and evaluation level. The interface of different level is a mapping from a source model to a target model using a set of transformation rules. Finally, the simulation level is supported by Coloured Petri net (CPN) tools to evaluate the correctness and the adequacy of the model. After validating the e-negotiation model, the e-commerce system can be synthesized further. This paper will apply an example of e-negotiation to validate the feasibility of the EERIP model.","PeriodicalId":332967,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117018253","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}
