The decision makers in the healthcare industry have been no exception in reaping the benefits of determining the merits and weaknesses of strategies through systematic quality improvement provided by maturity models. Although there are many healthcare maturity models in literature, there is a lack of models that provides managers and decision makers with a systematic, multi-criteria, and quantifiable maturity model. This paper proposes an exploratory model to assess technology management maturity in healthcare organizations by using Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM). The model may help health organizations with pinpointing their strengths and weaknesses in the adoption and implementation of new technologies and technological approaches such as Learning Health Systems (LHS) and their socio-technical infrastructure, while giving them organizational and competitive self-awareness and guide them in setting their strategies and resource allocation. The model will serve as a much-needed technology management tool for hospitals to assess their technology management maturity for both public and organization's advantage in a more effective way.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"38 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":"125131247","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}

A cross-section of 80 elderly in Thailand will be selected to match the demographic profile of the nation and to serve as a paradigm for other emerging economies in the APAC region. In-depth interviews, focus groups and observational analysis are used to guide the creative process in developing integrated product/technology concepts to test with the participants. To produce an interchangeable system, the elderly population is segmented based on three main criteria (1) physical capabilities, (2) financial situation and (3) technological understanding. The research has yielded a modular product/technology platform concepts consisting of low, medium, and high-tech solutions, to meet the needs of the elderly segments.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"19 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":"134442364","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 primary objective of this study is to measure the efficiencies of mass transit agencies based on best practice in the US, identify the influencing factors leading to their efficiencies, and how these strategies and policies can be used improve inefficiency in transit agencies. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, the study analyzed the mass performance of 334 transit agencies across the US using data from the national transit database (NTD) for the five years (2012 to 2016). The results show that public transit agencies operating ridesharing programs such as vanpools and on demand-services are more efficient compared to other agencies, as they are able to better at utilizing their inputs and therefore having a higher overall efficiency.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"35 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":"131956401","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}

Although RTOs are not so often identified in innovation ecosystem studies, the literature points out difficulties in their managerial processes, especially for institutions in developing countries. Thus, this research objective is to systematically analyze the literature aiming at a better understanding about the integration between processes and resources of existing management models for RTOs as an opportunity to identify gaps and to define possible fronts of interventions. It seeks to make explicit, in a broader way, aspects that can subsidize the operationalization of NISs in developing countries. The systematic literature review was carried out from the Web of Science (WoS) and the Scopus databases and evidenced contributions related to the dynamics of the management models adopted. In spite of the unfolding in practices and structures that may favor the effectiveness of research, development and innovation (RD&I), the identified models address only specific areas of management, which opens up opportunities for conducting studies that explore the systemic management of RD&I in RTOs, among other deployments.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"53 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":"116981026","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":"Evaluation of the Cryptocurrency Adoption Decision Using Hierarchical Decision Modeling (HDM)","authors":"Saeed Alzahrani, T. Daim","doi":"10.23919/PICMET.2019.8893897","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23919/PICMET.2019.8893897","url":null,"abstract":"In the recent years, there has been a massive attention toward cryptocurrency. The development of the blockchain technology has enabled the cryptocurrency to invade the financial industry by providing, to some extent, an alternative banking system with extra benefits such as lower cost of transaction, faster transaction processing, and higher level of privacy. Bitcoin is the first completely decentralized digital currency to exist in the cryptocurrency market. People have adopted cryptocurrency for several reasons. This adoption is a purchasing decision where the users make the adoption decision based on set of factors that matter to them. This paper aims at evaluating the factors impacting the cryptocurrency adoption decision. To do so, we have identified the factors that the users consider when making the purchasing decision based on a comprehensive review of recent literature and expert's inputs. The objectives of the paper are to: (1) identify the factors impacting the adoption decision, (2) and determine the ranking of these factors based on the quantification of users' judgments. This paper proposes a Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) to understand the users' decision to adopt cryptocurrency. The model suggests four main perspectives that influence the adoption decision namely: economic, technical, social, and personal. Every perspective consists of set of related criteria. We then used the pairwise comparison method to assess the importance of the perspectives and criteria to the overall objective of the model. The findings of this study suggest that users evaluate and make their decision mostly from economic and social perspectives. The top criteria found to influence the cryptocurrency adoption decision are the investment opportunity, subjective norms, businesses acceptance, privacy, and global attention. This paper provides insights into the factors impacting the adoption decision and their importance level. It also helps the cryptocurrency developers to understand the consumers' adoption criteria to encourage cryptocurrency adoption.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"21 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":"115659517","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}

Using the method of regression analysis, this paper examines the influences of collaboration degree of Industry-University-Research and innovative environment on regional innovative output based on Chinese data. The findings show that the effect of collaboration degree is significant. However, with the help of environment, the effect can be quite different. Both political and technology medium environment can reduce these influences, infrastructure environment can strengthen the influence while the humanistic environment has no significant impact. In the end, some suggestions to improve Chinese regional innovative output are put forward.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"12 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":"124387152","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}
