We have conducted a case study extending over 5 years of events affecting a small R&D unit in a multinational company. We were particularly concerned with strategy for the unit. We had supposed that the purpose of strategy would be to enable the parent company to counter competitors' actions, but to our surprise no competitor action over the period had any significant effect on the company, or prompted any changes of policy by the R&D unit. There were however serious threats to the continued survival of the R&D unit during the period, but these all came from the parent company. We found that the R&D unit had to have its own strategy, directed internally as well as externally, and seven principles for strategy for the unit emerged from the case. The threats mostly arose from several rounds of merger activity, which left merged groups with more R&D units than were needed. Within this context, however, we found that the company did not have an accurate perception of the capability and achievements of the unit studied, and the unit's first priority was in fact to foster its own image within the company. We also found that there were occasions when the company threw away technology in which it had invested over a long period, to the benefit of competitors. Another finding was that a technical breakthrough by an individual could foster the survival of the R&D unit, but that this had to be skilfully handled for the benefit to be realised.","PeriodicalId":355841,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127158800","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}

All multi-generational models based on this model have at least three parameter families. One family is referred to as the \"coefficient of innovation\". Another family is referred to as the \"coefficient of imitation\". Norton and Bass (1987) argue that the coefficients should be constant across generations. These assumptions are tested and discussed by Islam and Meade (1997) by using data of mobile telephone technology from eleven countries. They demonstrate that, in most cases, the hypothesis of constant coefficients can be rejected. We attempt to investigate the adoption and substitution of pagers and mobile phones in Taiwan by applying the multi-generation model developed by Norton and Bass (1987). In addition, the result that the coefficients aren't constant in Islam and Meade are adopted in their model. Results in their research show that the multi-generation diffusion model can be successfully applied to the substitution and adoption of pagers and mobile phones. Moreover, the use of a model with unequal coefficients is shown to considerably improve forecasting performance.","PeriodicalId":355841,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128401245","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}
