The authors continuously have been studying an accounting cloud service, which adopts two-sided markets structure and freemium business model on a core and periphery platform with modular designs. As the results of our case study, the authors obtain three findings. First, the Japanese accounting cloud service, which runs its business with regional banks in retail banking, has been exploiting its platform into partners' customers. Second, the accounting cloud service has been building up from a supplychain platform to an industrial platform in retail banking in four years since its entrepreneurship. Third, the accounting cloud service has been transforming its cloud-to-cloud service connections from weak-tied interfaces developed by other companies to its own strong-tied interfaces. Therefore, startingup cloud service providers should not only utilize weak-tied interfaces to invite two-sides onto its platform to establish a structural hole within its two-sided markets structure, but also should develop its own strong-tied interfaces and indirect ties to tighten upon its two-sided markets structure to realize values buried in its cloud ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"1 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":"115970220","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 substantial stream of computational work on managerial decision making has been based on search using Kauffman's NK landscape model, which represents fitness or payoff values to a discrete set of binary strings. In this paper, we propose a new method for landscape generation, the method of superposition of attractors, in which the fitness landscape is continuous. We introduce the attractor-based (AB) fitness landscape model, the core model based on this method, with parameters specifying the number of attractors and the steepnesses and heights of landscape peaks in the neighborhoods of attractors. We then describe search using this model, consider issues in implementing the search process, and provide an example of applying the model to studying exploration and exploitation. Next, we compare the AB and NK landscape approaches and identify some advantages and disadvantages of the AB approach relative to the NK approach. Advantages of the AB model include more control over the shape of the fitness landscape, applicability to outcomes not arising from intraorganizational interdependence, and visualization. We then consider customizations and generalizations of the model, including applications to coordinated exploration and resource partitioning processes.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"212 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":"132159232","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 transfer of viable knowledge from science to market needs to be better bridged. To enhance this transfer, a methodology is designed which integrates engineering design and subject-actionobject (SAO) text mining. The methodology is used to find, select and evaluate appropriate nanotechnologies for solving industrial problems using scientific abstracts. A case study is conducted whereby engineering design methods are used to structure a technical innovation problem in the manufacturing industry. 1.2 million abstracts from nanotechnology related articles are retrieved from the Web of Science and indexed using SAOparsing of the title and abstract. The performance of this novel methodology is measured using precision and recall, an approach common to the field of information retrieval. The methodology is further evaluated on the basis of structured interviews conducted with two engineering managers. The results demonstrate that the SAO methodology is a valuable assist to innovation and design within the firm. Significant challenges which are addressed in this article-- for example knowledge loss due to SAO-parsing, and also the phenomena of information stickiness.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"115 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":"124227029","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}

Working effectively to meet these expectations requires resilience, among other attributes. Thus, resilience has entered into the realm of organizational and engineering management. However, there are considerable differences among the several definitions and research streams concerning resilience. This paper uses case studies and empirical data to inform the study of workplace resilience. Much of the resilience research to date has focused on patients and individuals under the care of clinical professionals for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adolescent mental health, and coping skills. Recently, interest in studying resilience in the workplace has necessitated the need for models and instruments validated with the general workforce population. One instrument-the Workplace Resilience Instrument (WRI)-has been developed and validated with several segments of the U.S. workforce. The WRI produced four factors: Active Problem-Solving, Team Efficacy, Confident Sense-Making, and Bricolage. These four factors provide insight to the effective functioning of individuals within engineering management organizations and have implications for organizational performance. The meaning and implications of these four resilience factors are shared using case studies, examples, and findings from the research to date.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"124 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":"116334258","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}

Since modern technology has become more and more complex and dynamic, general statistical techniques can hardly capture the underlying information of technological interconnection in the process of technology evolution. However, complex network analysis can be considered to be a powerful tool to investigate this issue. At the same time, patent documents containing rich information to indicate technological evolution in sequential time period can be a significant data source. This paper, based on the core terms derived from patent documents, constructs technological networks, to present the distribution of technologies. The comparison between the networks in sequential time periods can not only provide a way to understand technological evolution in detail, but also forecast technology opportunities, which can be used to help understand the development of selected technologies quickly and provide insights to research and development (R&D) plan and technological commercialization. A case study on exploring the evolution of China's artificial intelligence technologies is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"102 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":"124678634","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 effective building maintenance strategy is critical in improving equipment reliability and availability, maintaining a comfortable environment, enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing the life-cycle cost of the building. Hence, a company's competitiveness and profitability can be improved significantly if unintended failure can be avoided. However, in the current maintenance process, maintenance knowledge and expertise are usually very subjective while the conventional approach is not sufficiently systematical to explain the judgement and assessment criteria. In addition, even though applications of optimization approaches in the maintenance process have been considered, exploring acceptable reasoning for vague information, such as costs, risk assessment and expert feedback is lacking, in the consideration of different maintenance strategies. Therefore, in this paper, a fuzzy-AHP-based decision support system (FADSS) is proposed for assisting in the multi-criteria decision-making process so as to determine the most cost-effective and efficient maintenance strategy. To evaluate the proposed system, a case study is conducted regarding building facilities maintenance. It is found that, through formulating the most suitable strategy, the work efficiency can be improved, and the maintenance costs can be minimized.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"50 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":"128544950","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}
