Besides the greater amount of uncertainty involved in the outcome of a research project, issues such as level of technical communication and intellectual property rights play a significant role in a research project. Efficient management of a research project involves more than just efficient allocation of tasks and planning to ensure that all tasks are completed in a timely manner. This paper discusses the non-traditional project management challenges that a research project manager needs to be aware of (largely in the context of research in the United States), in comparison to conventional project management systems and provides analyses and suggestions for efficient research management. The most important aspect of research project management comes from the requirement to manage dynamics of teams involved in the research. The largely unpredictable and unstructured nature of research renders personnel management crucial to the success of a research project. Expectations, work modalities, throughputs and parameters for evaluation of work can vary greatly between researchers causing numerous opportunities for friction. The research project manager holds the key to solving these issues while ensuring that the researchers are able to communicate in a common language of understanding. The various pseudo-psychological facets of individual personnel management that a research project manager needs to deal with are detailed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":369450,"journal":{"name":"First International Technology Management Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131755748","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}

What is the dynamics of innovations in the solar cell industries? Japanese 1st group including Sharp, Kyocera, Sanyo and Mitsubishi is mainly doing the business by crystal silicon (c-Si) and amorphous Si (a-Si) solar cell. The industrial cluster of “Solar Island Kyusyu” is focusing on thin film solar cells. In USA, SunPower focuses on c-Si solar cell, First Solar of 1st place is producing CdTe solar cell and Nanosolar, Solyndra are developing CIGS. China including Suntech mainly produced c-Si solar cell. Q-cells in Germany expand from cell process to solar cell module and CIGS solar cell. As the results of the case studies, the diverse technologies of solar cell are taken for business by global solar cell industry. Therefore, in case of the solar cell industry, the innovation dynamics theory of Utterback can not apply to the innovation. What are the conditions to accept the diverse technologies such as the solar cell industries? To answer the question, the process day of the solar cell compared with LCD and semiconductor device. The main process days for poly-Si and a-Si solar cell are less than 1 day. This means that solar cell technologies are simple because they require shot process days to reduce the cost. The conditions of diverse technologies in business are extracted from the research results. First condition is simple technology, which means short process day. Second condition is the drastically increasing market. Third condition is high motivation to enter the industry. Under the above conditions, many companies want to enter the business even if their technology level. In other words, many companies enter the business using their adaptable technologies. As the results, the diverse technologies are accepted for business.","PeriodicalId":369450,"journal":{"name":"First International Technology Management Conference","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114571718","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}

Eesley, Deli Yang","doi":"10.1109/ITMC.2011.5995998","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ITMC.2011.5995998","url":null,"abstract":"Our understanding of institutional change and strategy is limited. Institutions will influence the types of strategies that result in higher performance in entrepreneurial firms. This paper shows that different strategies and firm characteristics will explain variation in performance as institutional change occurs. Exploiting variation in the institutional environment over time and across regions in China, this paper examines the impact of institutional change on the effectiveness of firm strategies. Unique data were collected through survey responses from alumni who graduated from a Chinese university. The results show that different factors determine firm performance during different stages of institutional reform. These factors differ from those identified in the literature using data from well-developed economy contexts. The results indicate a significantly strong role for entrepreneur-government connections in the less developed institutional environment and a shift towards factors associated with competition in the market. Most entrepreneurs do not find themselves in a developed economy and few scholars have looked at drivers of entrepreneurial performance in a developing country context (Gollin, 2002, p. 466). Many developing countries are currently attempting to encourage successful entrepreneurship by transitioning away from more centralized economic structures and implementing institutional changes (Hoskisson, 2000). Eesley (2010) shows that with institutional changes there are shifts in the type of person becoming an entrepreneur, but do the paths and strategies leading to success in entrepreneurship change as well? While there is growing consensus that institutions are important (North, 1990) and affect entrepreneurship (Aldrich and Fiol, 1994; Sine, Haveman and Tolbert, 2005), the relationship between institutional change and firm strategy is still unclear. This paper asks whether shifts in the institutional environment allow new paths to successful entrepreneurship to open up in society.","PeriodicalId":369450,"journal":{"name":"First International Technology Management Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128506244","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}

The concept of R&D collaboration is being overwhelmingly consented and admired by small and large organizations all over the world. Developed countries have shown more emphasis on R&D Collaboration as compared with the developing nations. Collaboration can be organization-organization or organization - universities for R&D projects. Presently, more emphasis is on developing articulated culture for research oriented environment by collaboration between universities and industry for knowledge sharing and communication in joint projects. The underlying idea behind these collaborations is to use the university R&D resources as being economical and to having more easiness of access. The article also highlights the factors affecting the University-Industry collaboration and challenges to these collaborations. This article depicts the paradigm shift of R&D collaboration towards University-Industry R&D collaboration for successful completion of R&D Projects.

The automotive industry is a pioneer and outstanding group in the application of the lean production techniques. In this case the techniques were associated to five Lean Dimensions: (1) Manufacturing Flow (2) Process Control (3) Inbound Logistic (4) Organizational Design and Culture, and finally (5) The Lean Metrics. An artificial neural network (ANN) was used due to its flexibility and absence of “a priori” scenarios. With the purpose of knowing and measuring the application degree of the different techniques of the Lean Production System in the auto parts industry, a survey was carried out through Internet with first tier suppliers of automobile components. The questionnaire used has four parts, the last of which made reference to each one of the five dimensions of the model of lean production. It was answered by 49 companies, although it was necessary to eliminate some of them because they were not completed. In particular the final analysis was made with only 31 complete (valid) answers. The most interesting part of our analysis is the ascertainment of the main hypothesis about the link between techniques and the best results. The finding is that only by the application of a set of techniques, you will not have a success guaranteed. To obtain a good result, you not only must be lean, you must be something else. In any case our analysis has revealed, at least for those players that don't apply the lean approach, or that not apply it consistently; that is very difficult to obtain over average outcomes.","PeriodicalId":369450,"journal":{"name":"First International Technology Management Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130628551","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}

By taking advantage of human resources dispatching, the user company can acurtail employment costs and risks, and be more responsive to uncertainty in the changing environment. However, human resources dispatching has the inherent risk that talents will not be retained for the enterprise's operation. Thus, such temporary employment should be used with caution. This study explores the enterprise's (user company) use of traditional employment and human resources dispatching (using full-time employees and agency workers) from an agency perspective, and considers the relationship between agency problems and cost. This study also seeks to explore whether different employment relationships between full-time employees and agency workers entail different organizational commitments. Our propositions are that (a) full-time employees have stronger affective commitment than do agency workers, (b) agency workers relate more strongly to normative commitment than do full-time employees, and (c) full-time employees and agency workers are equally strong in continuance commitment. On this basis, this study sets out the managerial implications of human resources dispatching and recommends that the organizational commitment of agency workers be considered for future management of human resources dispatching. In this way, enterprises can pursue cost saving and flexible employment more effectively.","PeriodicalId":369450,"journal":{"name":"First International Technology Management Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129235746","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}
