In this unique flooded agriculture system, many permeable pots with one seedling, together with fertilizer and culture medium, are mounted on a foamed polystyrene plate and floated on the surface of the water. Its characteristics are high profitability, low initial investment amount, low labor load, and low environmental load. However, this new hydroponic cultivation method differs considerably from traditional agricultural systems in terms of not only technical aspects but also management. It becomes even more prominent by collecting big data using internet of things (IoT) technology and drones as well as artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, the construction of a new business ecosystem strategy becomes increasingly important. In this research, we proposed the \"EZ hydroponic cultivation business ecosystem strategy\" using the \"Five Frameworks for Constructing Keystone Strategy\" proposed by PICMET 2018. Furthermore, its effectiveness was confirmed based on three key performance indicators (productivity, robustness, and niche creation).","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"229 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":"123191716","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}

The Swedish market can be characterized as having a high level of diffusion and use of digital technologies, yet while auto UBI is well established on several markets internationally it has been struggling on the Swedish. An exploratory case study has been performed covering actors in the Swedish eco system around UBI: incumbent insurance companies, challengers, and technology providers. Interviews have been carried out with key employees and decision makers to understand which opportunities and challenges they perceive in areas ranging from technology to market and how these influence decisions to engage or not to engage in such innovations. The results indicate among other things that national characteristics influence the establishment of auto UBI; the expected technological development creates a window of opportunity preventing incumbents from engaging; the slowly increasing market penetration by UBI offered by challengers will eventually force incumbents to react; although sales of a UBI service is generally not considered profitable for an incumbent they consider or apply different strategies for self-disruption.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"74 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131435338","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}

Japan is the world's most aged country: 33 percent of its population were aged 60 years or over in 2017. The population aging and population decline contribute to a decline in growth potential. Recalling the growth accounting equation, productivity, neither capital nor labor, is strongly desired to increase. This success depends on how effectively AI makes use of capital and labor, especially labor. AI is expected to supplement human workforce rather than to take place of it. Because AI is not a natural person who has his or her autonomous will, its learning is under control of some natural person. This paper proposes a management framework for AI to supplement human workforce. By looking back the AI history, the proposed management framework integrates statistical knowledge derived from machine learning and deterministic expertise obtained from expert systems. To evaluate the effectiveness of this proposal, this paper analyses expert system and machine learning applications in auditing. It was confirmed that auditors can be assisted in making decisions on broader areas by integrating the outputs from these two approaches.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"143 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":"124572502","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}

In addition, in the era of the Internet of Things, companies are required to take measures to make alliances with possible partners, or undertake mergers and acquisitions as a means of open innovation. However, it is increasingly difficult to identify emerging technological innovation because of the speed of innovation, the uncertainty of the possible combinations that could lead to innovation, and the complex convergence of technologies. Although bibliometrics has enabled us to identify major technologies and the approximate relationship between different fields of technologies, precise methodologies are required that will be able to detect emerging technological fields in detail, especially in the case of complex technologies like robotics. By applying a citation network analysis to both clustering and detecting technology convergence, this paper proposes a methodology to precisely detect emerging complex technological fields. The patents data containing robotics in their titles and abstracts were retrieved from Derwent Innovation, and 65,796 patent citations, from 1974 to 2018, were extracted through the Academic Landscape System.

In this review science mapping techniques were applied to review 146 SCOPUS indexed articles and conference papers concerned with the implementation of DBM. Digitization and its rapid evolution are creating new products, changing customer demands and disrupting traditional markets. Hence, the focus of many companies up to date has been on the adoption of emergent technologies, such as internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, big-data or cloud computing. Yet in order to stay competitive and to avoid disruption by a new market entrant a firm needs to adapt and even redesign its core business model in the context of the digital age. However, successfully implementing a digital business model remains one of today's most challenging tasks. The aim of this review is to reveal the size, growth trajectory and geographic distribution of the digital business model knowledge base. Moreover, the goal is to detect key journals, authors and publications, as well as to give an overview of the intellectual structure of the literature and possibly highlight actual trends in the domain of DBM. The review attested a modest-sized knowledge base concentrated in Western countries. Furthermore, four ‘schools of thoughts’ were identified and further explained. It is a first attempt of a bibliometric review in this field, and thus shall give guidance for future research and practical implications.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"71 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":"127172315","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 Blockchain technology is claimed to revolutionize how business is being conducted by its way of storing data and sharing it with others. The recently introduced GDPR has a huge impact on processing personal data because it brought major changes to privacy regulation. This might also affect the processing of personal data in Blockchain-based application scenarios. Based on literature analysis, the paper at hand provides an overview of the Blockchain technology, presents a decision model, and introduces two possible Blockchain application scenarios. It analyses relevant requirements of the GDPR in view of processing personal data and compares these with the fundamental principles of the Blockchain technology. The paper concludes that processing personal data in the Blockchain is violating the GDPR because it conflicts with fundamental specification of this regulation. This finding reveals the need for further research to propose concepts and frameworks for a GDPR-compliant processing of personal data using Blockchain technology.","PeriodicalId":390110,"journal":{"name":"2019 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"37 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":"126768669","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}
