Quality control methodology including quality control charts has to evolve to face the sparse data availability challenges. Accordingly, managerial team needs to use interval quality indices. The Grey quality envelop proposed in this paper is an interval-valued function composed of a pair of upper bound function and lower bound function extracted from the information contained in the quality index sequence of the production system and thus will offer a dynamic boundary for the product quality index control purpose.

In China, many firms emerge with the development of the economy. Some firms succeed to achieve the competitive advantage while many firms fail to survive. Why some succeed and some fail? To some extent, they are all full of entrepreneurship. Why only entrepreneurship is not enough for the firm development. The paper think that if the firms' special entrepreneurship cannot adapt to the firm's development period, the firms with the entrepreneurship cannot succeed. The paper puts forth a new concept `dynamic entrepreneurship'. Dynamic entrepreneurship is necessary for the entrepreneurs to develop firms. Entrepreneurship should be dynamic to create value. In the process of firm development, the entrepreneurs' way to create value is different. The paper will analyze the characteristics of the different growth period and point out the main tasks in the special period. These tasks decide what the entrepreneurs should do. If the entrepreneurs don't take on these tasks, they cannot seek out the new opportunities and cannot create new value. So in the paper's opinion, the entrepreneurs should be dynamic entrepreneurship to match the firms development","PeriodicalId":431021,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"303 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113992662","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 the new millennium's competitive high tech environment, innovation allows companies to stay competitive in their own sectors while enabling them to advance further into additional areas. Effective leaders rely on and leverage both people skills and automated machine power to maximize the team productivity. While innovators prove the tools and best practices to boost productivity, adaptors integrate these innovations in daily life environment and realize the maximum long term gains for the company. While flexible environment prosper innovation, stable structure nurtures adaptation. There are a number of challenges that leaders have to face in order to first facilitate an environment for managed innovation, then finally automate and integrate it into the process. This paper discusses the challenges faced by the Advanced Regression/Research Facility (ARF) at Cisco Systems in leading and creating an environment that embraces changes seamlessly. In order to complement the traditional regression testing, innovation concepts were proven, automated and integrated into ARF's daily business to improve its defect finding rate.

Based on the theoretical framework and case study of a cooperative NPD in a Sino-America JV, differences on new product development due to social and cultural differences is explored, and integration strategy and methods to utilize the potential complementation of the differences are discussed.

To help these companies continue the adoption of roadmapping, an update process has been developed and applied to seven companies. This paper introduces roadmapping, and then explores the process used for updating roadmaps before discussing some of the issues that have been encountered. The process involves an initial review of the roadmaps technologies, products and service and drivers to see how 'accurate' the past roadmaps forecasts were and to establish 'rules' for the creation of a better roadmaps. Once the review has been carried out, a decision is then made as to whether create a new roadmap or to update the existing roadmap. If a new roadmap is to be created the existing OTR process is followed. If the roadmap is to be updated then more emphasis is placed on the carrying forward of information already present on the roadmap with the addition of some new ideas within the current roadmap framework","PeriodicalId":431021,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133259160","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}

Some of these tools deliver significant improvements to software development life cycle. However, use of these tools is often accompanied by a significant change in work practices and high learning barriers thus offsetting some of the advantage. As a result, the tools do not reach the expected levels of adoption. This paper presents the experiences of a software services company in India in the development and deployment of new technology tools for developer productivity. Two tools of varying complexity levels are studied in terms of their diffusion trends. The simpler one which diffused rapidly is a standards checker which satisfied most of the characteristics for successful diffusion according to Roger's model while the complex one (a model driven development framework that was the most sophisticated of its kind at the time of its deployment) did not satisfy majority of the characteristics and had a very slow diffusion rate in spite of its exceptional functionality. The above tool diffusion experiences are analyzed with respect to diffusion factors, diffusion processes, diffusion politics and diffusion services, a categorization well known in the literature. A new tool is designed based on the above learning. Results of the diffusion after the improvements are reported","PeriodicalId":431021,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116418424","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}
