In TRIZ theory, a product design problem can be considered as one or more Contradictions. But the Contradictions and corresponding Inventive Principles are rather abstract and general. It will be more helpful for innovators to solve the problem if they obtain related examples from published patents that have solved the Contradictions. In order to search the relevant patents according to Contradictions and Inventive Principles automatically, text mining is used to analyze patent documents. In this paper, a computer-aided methodology to classify patents according to Contradictions and Inventive Principles is proposed.","PeriodicalId":332967,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"78 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":"123838299","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}

Rural resources in India are yet to develop to an acceptable level to help rural enterprises conduct e-business seamlessly; most prominently among them are related infrastructure, information on input and output markets and skill set. In this paper, prospects and challenges of establishing e-business for rural enterprises in Indian context are discussed.

The paper includes a new procedure for classifying potential risks which it is the Potential Risks Breakdown Structure (PRBS) based on project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

We draw some lessons from the alliances in the airline and card-based payment sectors and conclude that in the Internet sector the optimal organizational form should be a centralized alliance with an hub-and-spoke network structure.","PeriodicalId":332967,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"144 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":"127299111","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}

Grey theory is one of the methods used to study uncertainty, being superior in the mathematical analysis of systems with uncertain information. Here, we propose a simple grey based method based on the concepts of TOPSIS to evaluate and select the best supplier that the weights and ratings of attributes for all alternatives are described by linguistic variables that can be expressed in grey numbers. Through this article, we demonstrate that the approach can be applied to improve the group decision-making to solve the MCDM problem.","PeriodicalId":332967,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"35 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":"124137920","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}
