Nevertheless, the ability to manage technology and to assess and choose the right technologies to be used and to be invested in is not that well understood and developed. The technology readiness is important to be measured and managed, so that organizations have the chance to make better decisions on which technologies to rely on and when. Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) is a method developed by NASA nearly 40 years ago and it has been proven to help organizations to manage their technologies. The aim of this paper is to understand, in more details, how TRL can help organizations and what are the potential implications of using it to the betterment of R&D management. Interviews were conducted with technology managers and researchers. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data, and the results indicate that TRLs can improve R&D management. Some hypotheses were formulated and should be confirmed or refuted by future research.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124770592","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 is important to resolve these issues by projects. Therefore, it is necessary for an organization to develop project manager (PM) to be in charge of the projects to achieve success. For PMs, it is not enough to only study project management. Based on the knowledge of project management, it is necessary for PM to practice projects, and gain personal and practice competencies. Therefore PMs have to have continuous training and practice to gain competencies. Also, it is important for PMs to evaluate their competencies at their optimum time, and set the next goal for the continual growth. Especially, during training to gain the competencies, it is necessary to evaluate the competencies of PM. As for the human resource development of the PMs, there are not many cases that the self-evaluation and the visualization of competency are combined. This paper proposes \"Continual PM Self-Growth Model\" with the selfevaluation of the competencies utilizing PM competency evaluation sheet at their optimum time between the outcome of training and the self-study. In this study, the model has been verified by PMs.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124974658","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}

Korea has a number of good preconditions and indigenous capabilities that can create a new EV market and deploy EVs fast across a nation. Korea also has urgent needs to adopt EVs and develop advanced EV technologies as it is vulnerable to energy supply disruptions. Despite these pre-conditions and urgent needs, however, none of the domestic automobile makers so far have sold its own EV to the global market, and the adoption of EVs is very low domestically. Consequently, technological innovation of EVs in Korea lags behind. This cannot be solely explained by the neoclassical view of 'market failures' in an increasingly interdependent and interconnected system, it, instead, can be explained by systemic failures. Based on the problems and evidences, this paper reveals some distinctive features answering the following questions: (i) why such advanced technologies are not introduced in the market place when they delivers a variety of benefits to society when the society has urgent needs:, (ii) if there is no market, what are the role of actors and institutions, in introducing and deploying these technologies: (iii) what is the society's particular character in technological innovation and what are the barriers, (iv) How can the new technological innovation be introduced and sustained in the current system?","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"41 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125918865","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 growth of a research community in size and persistence is especially important indicator of the vitality for a new field. This study looks at an emerging technology, Triboelectric Nanogenerator, invented in 2012. It is an energy harvesting technology which converts ambient mechanical energy to electricity. It has significant commercialization potential in self-powered systems for personal electronics, environmental monitoring, medical devices and even large-scale power facilities. This study aims to identify the emergence of the technology through research community indicators, analyzing research network of Triboelectric Nanogenerator. The 4-year publication abstract data of TENG studies was extracted from the Web of Science and analyzed using VantagePoint, Python Script and VOSviewer. Based on the analysis, we discuss origin and dynamics of the research network indicators and their usefulness in analyzing emergence through researcher population growth. The findings show the importance of leadership and geographic proximity of the top authors in shaping the community of a new field. Also, co-author numbers vary as more collaboration occurs among researchers with different research interests. Finally, the changing number and structure of funding organizations indicate the impact that government and industry funding has in boosting the development of a new technology. Especially, the support from industry in the early days of an emerging technology may indicate great potential in researchers' enrolment. The findings provide a new perspective to evaluate emerging technologies.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"4 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123265538","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}

Top universities, institutes and companies cooperate with CAST on planning and implementation of the project every year. This research evaluated the process and effect of STCCA in 2016. Online survey (Likert's Five-option Scale questionnaire), interview and case study were adopted to detect the satisfaction degree overall and describe and extract characteristics of the project. As a result, 10593 effective questionnaires in total were collected. 60 participants from 5 campus were interviewed. Materials and observation of some activities were obtained and generated. Based on the analysis, two main conclusions were reached as a) most participants considered a high quality of STCCA and b) STCCA effectively employed national science and technology resources, raised students' scientific literacy and broadened their field of vision. The connection between the mode and effect of STCCA was discussed and advice for the future development of STCCA as well as other similar project was given.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"686 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122702849","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}

Absenteeism is a drain on productive work especially in the manufacturing industry and may be described as unorganised conflict where people show their dissatisfaction through absenteeism. Absenteeism is hampering economic growth in the region of R12 billion annually. While companies are working on continuous improvement initiatives that improve efficiency and performance, the severity of the problem of absence is a topic that has been neglected. Even though technology may enable one to work from home, the impact of what should be achieved in the workplace is hindered. To achieve a real competitive edge in industry, innovative managers are realising the crucial importance of making the most of existing resources. The clothing industry, being a labour intensive industry, was used to obtain data in the form of qualitative research, to shed light on the impact of lost productivity through absenteeism. The focus will therefore not only be on the negative issues of absence and how to improve it, but on the more positive (and critical) goal of developing an overall strategy to promote and improve attendance in industry. Absenteeism is directly related to technology management as it causes inefficiency in several ways. However the primary objective is to investigate the causes of absenteeism levels and the means of improving attendance, and the secondary objective will be to identify ways to manage and minimise absenteeism levels in the clothing industry.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129703252","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}
