More specifically, it is the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of the information content, process, and system. This is an issue with which every organization in business, government, and society is concerned. Failures of information have been perceived until now as a pervasive, universal problem, although it costs the economy many billions of dollars. This paper is the result of a study of the state of knowledge and the intellectual space of the concept of information integrity. The study was sponsored by the information integrity coalition. It frames the space of the concept from several perspectives, among which are: prevention, monitoring, and correction of information errors; security audit and control; design, development and operation of information systems for higher integrity; and information integrity requirements of specific industries such as financial institutions, health care, defense, and transportation.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114573440","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}

Rubenstein","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2003.1222787","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2003.1222787","url":null,"abstract":"This paper presents some significant issues and questions about the needs for and attempts at measuring the long-term outcomes and impacts of major national R&D programs. It also discusses important barriers to the flow from R&D inputs to social and economic impacts far downstream. One of the deficiencies of many of the periodic attempts to analyze this complex process is that they try to take too big a bite of the problem. They try to directly link the cost of R&D input resources at the far upstream end of the R&D process to far downstream economic and social impacts. This approach ignores many of the problems of identification, measurement, complexity, imputation, attribution, and parsing of outcomes at each stage. An approach to analysis and measurement of the flow is presented, based on several decades of research and consulting in these issues for a wide range of technical fields, government agencies, and industrial firms. Three specific examples are given, in the form of stage models, barriers/facilitators, and indicators/measures of outputs at each stage. They are based on analysis by the author and his colleagues of agricultural, environmental, and fire research, supported by major government agencies. The recommended approach to such analysis includes eight steps: 1) select key sectors of R&D supported by national governments; 2) Identify major transition stages in the R&D to market or application process; 3) Identify key barriers and facilitators along the flow; 4) Develop indicators and metrics for the outputs and impacts at each stage; 5) Develop relationships between the outputs and inputs at each stage; 6) Identify gaps and weak spots in the flow for each sector; 7) Recommend ways of dealing with the gaps and weaknesses; 8) Suggest approaches to monitoring short-term performance and long-term impacts.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"531 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123456574","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}

Market research techniques that rely on simulated purchase situations, laboratory experiments, and actual purchase behavior are often dismissed as too expensive, too time consuming, or too impractical. What is needed is a quick and cost-effective method for assessing customers' price expectations that can be utilized at key points in the software development process where design are at stake. Price sensitivity measurement (PSM) research provides product developers with the capability to quickly assess the range of acceptable prices, indifference points, and optimum pricing points for any given software configuration.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123981756","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}

It requires perpetual and pervasive innovation at all the levels of the organization. Therefore, managing innovation is increasingly challenging, especially for Chinese companies after joining in WTO. A theoretical framework of competence-based total innovation management is put forward in this paper. This framework mainly draws on three distinct areas of recent research: the innovation theory of the firm, the resource-based view (RBV) and competence theory of the firm, and the complexity theory. Total innovation management is the set of reinvention and management of innovation value network that dynamically integrates conception, strategy, technology, structure, process, culture and people at all the levels of organization in order to enhance innovation competence of company, create value for stakeholders and sustain competitive advantage. It is journey heightening competence of company, not a destination of company. It is concluded that it is only through total innovation management that Chinese companies can hope to create sustainable business through successive rainstorm of creative destruction in a turbulent and changing world.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131461623","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}

Recently, however, as the market for the mobile communications equipment became saturated and competitive pressure intensified, the demand-side growth factor grew in importance. As a consequence, consumer preferences are likely to play the key role in determining the direction in which the mobile communications technology will develop. At present, multimedia services are the priority areas of the mobile communications technological progress. The multimedia services such as VOD (video on demand), video telephony services using streaming video technology as well as technological fusion with the other digital appliances like PDAs (personal digital assistant) and digital cameras, will attract more consumer's attention when the next generation of mobile communication services reaches the market. For example, color displays in cellular phones are one of the most important milestones in the path to the new paradigm of the multimedia technology. In this study, we analyzed consumer's valuation of color displays in cellular phones. At the time of the survey implementation, the market data was not available because it was a very early stage of adopting the color displays in cellular phones. Instead of adopting the revealed preference approach, a conjoint experiment was conducted where respondents were asked to rank cellular phone specification alternatives differing in the following attributes: the type of display, brand, and price. The ordered logic model applied to the survey data allowed us to decompose the cellular phones' values by the attributes, additional profit due to color display and the brand value, among others. Using our empirical estimates we also derived several implications for the competition strategy in the cellular phone market.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127387665","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}

This study investigates the role of trust in new product development, particularly as it relates to project commitment and performance. Using data from both project leaders and team members from 41 NPD projects, the authors' tests whether trust has a direct or indirect effect on new product performance. The results indicate that project commitment mediates the relationship between trust and market performance but only through project commitment. No relationships are found between trust, commitment and project speed. The results of the study suggest that building trust in NPD project teams is crucial to generating commitment by team members to the project which, in turn, is important to new product performance. However, commitment contributes positively only to market performance and not project speed.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130793354","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}

{"title":"Technology management in the network age: a report from the field based on a cross-regional comparison of technology-intensive entrepreneurial firms","authors":"G. Tovstiga, Len Korot, Léo-Paul Dana","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2003.1222811","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2003.1222811","url":null,"abstract":"Essential to the creation and development of innovative, high technology, knowledge-driven organizations is a tight symbiosis between regional culture and infrastructure. Although this symbiosis is often recognized anecdotally, there is virtually no systematic research testing whether regional cultures are a driving factor in the creation of successful technology ventures. In this paper, the authors compare four geographic regions using a diagnostic research tool specifically developed for profiling knowledge management practices in high-technology firms. As an outcome of their previous research, the authors have been able to identify those key practices that distinguish firms that we characterize as \"leading-edge\". In an analysis of high-technology centers around the globe, Wired magazine rated 46 regions from 1 (low) to 4 (high) on each of four factors: (1) the ability of area universities and research facilities to develop new technologies and to provide skilled knowledge professionals, (2) the presence of established companies and multinationals to provide expertise and economic stability, (3) the population's entrepreneurial drive to start new ventures and (4) the availability of venture capital to ensure that ideas make it to market. Of the four regions included in this study, two - Silicon Valley and Israel - were rated highest on the four factors. Two regions - Singapore and the Netherlands are rated lower. Therefore, if regional infrastructure and culture are key drivers for high technology innovation, we hypothesized that the highest performing organizations, as based on the results of the survey of knowledge management practices, will be found in the Silicon Valley and in Israel, with lower performing organizations found in the Netherlands and Singapore. No significant differences were found between Silicon Valley/Israel vs. Singapore/the Netherlands. However, key practices that were found to be common to leading-edge firms in all regions included: (1) a propensity for experimentation; (2) collective sharing of knowledge, and (3) collective decision-making. Overall, this paper (a) describes the research in terms of the four regions, (b) devices key determinants of competitiveness, (c) profiles regional characteristics which enhance innovation and entrepreneurship and (d) closes with a discussion on the implications of the research outcomes for entrepreneurial firms seeking to build a global presence.","PeriodicalId":380910,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '03: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology Technology Management for Reshaping the World, 2003.","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124526067","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}
