This paper describes the architecture of STKP and compares it with the old national science and technology (S&T) system. STKP provides an open platform for communication among scientists; engineers and even investors. They can enter STKP after registration from the portal site provided by the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI). They submit S&T information to STKP via the portal, and the information is stored in a database. Users may search and obtain useful information from the database usually for no charge. STKP participants can freely create discussion forums on not only technical but also policy issues. The Engineering Academy of Japan and related S&T institutions have collaborated to create STKP.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

We describe aggression through these new electronic means as cyber aggression, because one meaning of the term \"cyber\" is \"computer-generated;\" and this, in turn, seems an apt description for the kinds of aggression considered. We define cyber aggression as any form of intentional harm-doing performed through electronic means-any actions by one or more individuals designed to harm one or more others (or an entire organization) that make use of computers or related peripheral equipment. Having defined cyber, we focus, in the remainder of this article on several important tasks. First, we attempt to describe the major ways in which individuals can seek to harm others through electronic means-in short, how the intention of harming others is carried out electronically. Second, we examine various motives underlying cyber aggression, and some of the personal characteristics that may be associated with these motives. Third, we offer hypotheses concerning potential links between these motives and traits and the specific means used to enact cyber aggression. Finally, we suggest methods that may prove useful in investigating these proposed links between motives and traits on the one hand, and various forms of cyber aggression on the other. The underlying thrust of this research is to determine whether specific forms of workplace aggression, or various motives that may underlie such behavior, are associated with specific tools of cyber aggression. We believe that identifying such links will lead us to insights regarding the need for new management practices to address the ever-increasing digitization of the workplace.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

Based on the empirical study on the Chinese color TV industry, this paper puts forward that the major reasons which intensify the price wars over a long period are, the insufficient differentials in the product and cost structure among competitors in the same industry, and the improper government intervention that mean that the production factors and capacities cannot be smoothly re-deployed according to the market signals, as well as the irrational competition logic formed in the process of successive price wars. Finally, this paper gives some discussions over the competition strategy issues for producers in the price war and policy implications for government and policy makers, with the aim to avoid no-winner price wars.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

Complex product systems (CoPS) is a very important research field in technological innovation, as well as the basis of a country's core technological innovation ability. It is widely believed that to ensure the satisfactory CoPS innovation output a company must improve its performance of CoPS innovation management. The goal of this paper is to draw on the concept of technological innovation audit to the assessment process of CoPS innovation, and to provide a practical management tool for Chinese leading companies. Based on the former classical research in the field of technological innovation audit and considering the particulars of Chinese companies, this paper formulates a new model for the assessment process of CoPS innovation. In the new model, the CoPS innovation process is divided into core process and peripheral system according to the dynamic and systemic properties of CoPS innovation. Based on this model, the paper designs a specific framework and forms for the assessment of CoPS innovation process. At the end of this paper, the specific form is applied to the CoPS process of Eastcom Corporate. The paper compares the CoPS process of Eastcom Corporate with those of Huawei Technology, Zhongxing Telecom and Lucent Corporate, and gives some practical suggestions about improving Eastcom's CoPS innovation performance.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

Indian industry at present is dazed, confused and apprehensive. The marketing complexities have increased, product life cycles have shortened and the market is more turbulent than ever before. Indian industry is desperately looking for strategy and action plans that would ensure its survival and growth. In the fast changing socio-economic environment the consumer is truly a moving target today. Sharp product segmentation based on consumer insights is highly desirable. The challenge for the marketers is to use the tools of branding and pricing at their disposal to ensure that the most valuable package in the customer's perception is represented by his brand. The cooperative and collaborative relationships with customers are the most prudent way to keep track of changing expectations. The classification of services, customization in order to regain lost customers, differentiation strategies to command premium price and gastronomy strategies to provide a great deal of interaction and personalization to consumers, are amongst the prominent strategies, which could be used in customer relationship management. The market research should be visualized as a series of building blocks of information necessary for strategy development. The Indian marketers must give emphasis upon strategic marketing of their products/services in the changing business scenario.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

However, what is a product for one company may be a production means for the next. We have found that, to fully understand innovative business clusters, stacks and chains of TAOs are a more useful presentation than capturing the whole organizational cluster of a corporation or chain in just one business representation. Studying the dynamics of individual TAOs within these networks, it became clear that also dynamic knowledge streams play an important role between individual organizations. These knowledge loops have their own cycle time. Differences in cycle time may limit exchange of information so that therefore not all TAO functions can be performed by just any company, limiting innovation. Especially universities, government funded laboratories and government funded-research programs, with their long cycle times play an important role in potential mismatching these differences in dynamics. From the insights from the stacks and chains of TAOs and their dynamics behavior guidelines may be derived for setting up more effective innovation programs for universities, commercial and public research institutes and public funded research programs. The methodology presented in the paper has been successfully applied to 'anchoring' the results and the relation network of a government funded innovative research program on computer-vision and image processing in the Netherlands.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.
