This study is to investigate how to align corporate strategies with R&D strategies that transform an internationalized company. Moreover, this study also investigated that how companies build up their technical capability to transform from a private domestic company to a public and global corporation. Longitudinal study is applied to the world largest, global bicycle company by tracking its history from the beginning establishment to present achievement. Interviews with CTO and internal documentation are used to analyze the alignment between the corporate strategies and R&D strategies. The results indicate that the co-evolution between corporate strategies and R&D strategies conduces to the process of firms' R&D internationalization. The process of internationalization of this bicycle company provides a referable model for companies who are searching for the way to transform their R&D organizations for the future. The evidences also provide some implications to OEM, ODM, OBM, and R&D transformation in different stages of industrial development of Taiwan.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127508937","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}

However, extant product-service systems (PSS) design methods are often too narrowly scoped to support value co-creation. One difficult aspect is that customers' needs are always evolving and companies have to continuously adapt its resources and offerings. Moreover, PSS design frameworks that take a broader approach are usually at a business strategy level, leaving out the details of how to operationalize the framework. This research proposes a novel integrated PSS design framework that adopts a lifecycle approach to design — from the gaining of awareness of a need, to soliciting collaboration, co-creating value propositions and generating value-in-use for the actors involved. This framework considers the interactions between actors in the value co-creation process at a strategy level, and is integrated with techniques to execute each stage of the framework. Its pilot application in a healthcare case study is discussed in the paper. This paper contributes to the literature of PSS and design research, and the application of actor network theory in supporting the premises of service-dominant logic. It intends to provide guidelines to managers of new PSS development and lifecycle management.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128806460","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}

On the one hand, permeability in organizations engenders fluidity which increases organizational capabilities through adaptability, diversity, and speed. On the other hand, organizations continuously redefine and reinvent their boundaries to remain stable and to exhibit self-identity. These two competing demands of organizations to simultaneously become fluid as well as stable are evident in modern shared workplaces where organizations share offices with other organizations and professionals. The purpose of this research is to analyze how permeability in shared office spaces influence the internal work structures and processes of members' organizations who have relatively fixed memberships, stable structures, and steep hierarchies. We collected qualitative data based on an inductive research methodology from the providers and users of a coworking-space. Our study concludes that participational autonomy, spatial and virtual connectivity and interrelational heterogeneity determine the level of permeability in a coworking-space. The space level permeability influences the work structures and task processes of members' organizations. Changeability in organizational processes engenders structural differentiation, decentralization, and ad-hoc work processes, which provide autonomy to the organizational employees or independent users to define their work structures, task processes, and work routines. Organizations though maintain their rudimentary structures and permeable boundaries through self-regulatory resources. In this way, permeability enables organizations to leverage the differentiated capabilities of members within and outside of the space and facilitates knowledge exchange across boundaries and hierarchical levels that lead to innovative outcomes.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121603549","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}

Once accomplished, they can turn-around the socioeconomic condition in such countries and make them self-reliant, at least in the healthcare sector. It may also encourage the incumbent research community to transform their research findings into scientific, entrepreneurial or commercial ventures. However, building such ‘innovation ecosystems’ in developing countries, requires scientific, financial and infrastructural support to overcome their existing barriers. In India, one such government-funded non-profit organization which is trying to overcome the existing barriers and building an ecosystem to encourage biotech innovation and entrepreneurship, is the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP). Since its inception, it has been able to support more than 90 biotech start-ups in funding, mentorship and incubation. In this paper, we start our discussion by understanding some of the major challenges faced by contemporary biotech organizations in India while commercializing their innovations. Subsequently, we attempt to understand how C-CAMP was conceptualized to overcome some of these barriers and how it evolved over the years, to become a nodal agency for inspiring biotech innovations and entrepreneurship. This case study highlights some of the best practices followed by C-CAMP in managing biotech innovation and commercialization. Top Management Teams in biotech-based academia, industry, government or venture capital funding agencies from any country may find these barriers and best practices worth studying and analyzing.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"284 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116096596","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, considered the country's production of patents and publications in biotechnology and nanotechnology its top priority areas. In addition, the overall publication and patent outputs in all scientific fields compared with the overall investment in R&D as expressed by the gross expenditure on R&D (GERD) as reported yearly in the country's R&D survey is studied. In addition, this overall data is used to compare South Africa's efficiency in all scientific fields to that of other BRICS countries. Data on R&D expenditure is used as input in the R&D process to achieve this comparison. The study found that, within South Africa, nanotechnology has been doing well on both patent and publications efficiency. The efficiency in terms of publications in this field started to fall slightly in 2013 to be equivalent to that of biotechnology. In context of the BRICS countries, it was found that South Africa has the highest R&D efficiency as measured by both patents and publications. This shows that the productivity is not necessarily a function of resources available.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124902248","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}

An example is Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir), an anti-Hepatitis C medicine. Sovaldi cures the disease (Hepatitis C) almost completely. However, its price is extremely high. In the U.S., the price of Sovaldi is USD 1,000 per tablet. It is clear that ordinary people in developing countries cannot afford this medicine. To solve this problem, Gilead Sciences Inc.—the manufacturer of Sovaldi—concluded a voluntary license agreement with generic medicine manufacturers in India. The voluntary license allows Indian pharmaceutical companies to sell Sovaldi at USD 4.29 per tablet in India and also allows them to export the product to other selected developing countries as well. Gilead's voluntary license scheme was praised by the Indian government, patients in India, and international patient support organizations. However, certain international NGOs—including MSF (Doctors Without Borders)—criticized the scheme. This study focuses on the voluntary licensing scheme and aims to determine appropriate medicine prices.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126954465","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}

However, innovation activity may also be one of strategies for creating new breakthroughs in difficult situations, so it is necessary to analyze the relationship between innovation activity and firm performance more closely. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects of business environments on innovation activity and firm performance, using the data of Workplace Panel Survey (WPS) from Korea Labor Institute. The business environments are largely divided into internal and external environments. Internal environments examine the professional management system and the regular/official personnel evaluation system, because organization management can affect innovation activity or firm performance. In addition, in order to determine what situation firms are facing in the market, external environments examine the degree of competition in domestic market and the degree of market demand. As a result of the analysis, the regular/official personnel evaluation system and the degree of market demand positively influence both innovation activity and firm performance, but the professional management system and the degree of competition in domestic market are somewhat different. That is, firms should consider the effects of internal and external business environments for innovation activity and firm performance. This study can be used as basic data for planning the innovation strategy of firms.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"472 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113982375","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}
