Some companies went bankrupt, but most survived the disaster. It was crucial for companies, especially those with business relations in affected areas, to know the sustainability of their transaction networks. In this study, we attempted to grasp the duration of companies in terms of their transaction metabolism. We obtained data from Teikoku Databank, Ltd. and analyzed 391,430 transactions between companies in the affected Tohoku district in the period from 2010 to 2014. We took the inter-firm transactions as links, and calculated their duration in each company during the designated period. We examined whether companies with a high rate of long-lasting links were well-equipped for the disaster, and found that link continuity did not always represent the duration of a company. We focused on the metabolism of the links in each company, which was defined by the diversity of their lasting rate. Examining the restructuring after the disaster, we concluded that the metabolism of the links indicated the characteristics of a company in industry transaction networks.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"17 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":"121863961","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}

Cost approach which involves the calculation of input cost such as software database can be utilized for calculating the establishing expenses of databases, but we need to propose an optimal valuation model to properly reflect future business profitability and standardize how to estimate and apply to primary variables associated. In this study, we look into how to determine the economic life expectancy of database assets based on durable period of 5 years and the contribution of database assets to the entire business value created through the business model therein. Since there has been no valuation model to date to lead to an objective market value of database assets, it is expected that database valuation framework proposed herein would be significantly useful when various data-driven business models are involved.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"56 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":"133972745","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":"Assessment of Arms Import Policies: Literature Review","authors":"Sungjin Kim, N. Sheikh","doi":"10.23919/PICMET.2017.8125251","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23919/PICMET.2017.8125251","url":null,"abstract":"Arms transfer policies are generally not aligned between supplier and recipient nations. Hence they involve complex and protracted negotiations and decision making. Decision modeling has been established as an effective method of resolution for such complex scenarios, however, this is a novel approach in arms transfer policy making. In this paper, import policies of recipients are investigated as a required phase for developing a holistic decision model for each side. The objective is to identify policy criteria. For a comprehensive assessment of the arms import policies, a literature review is conducted in multidisciplinary fields of study such as political science, economics, and military science. The results indicate that some topics are field-specific while others, such as diffusions, offsets, and economic considerations are common to multiple disciplines. Hence, a multiple-perspectives approach is applied to include technological, economic, political, industrial, and military (TEPIM) in formulating the decision model for recipients. To conclude, the paper suggests a hierarchical decision model (HDM) framework that incorporates the multiple TEPIM perspectives, their associated criteria, and alternatives to be considered by recipients in making an effective arms import policy. Future research will include a validation process with expert panels to better define the decision model.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"8 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":"131832674","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}

Given the rapid progress of the 'open innovation' paradigm, much less is known about whether and how the open search strategy, both in breadth and depth, influences firms' R&D activities and performance. This is an interesting but underexplored question especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from developing countries like China who are often limited by knowledge and other resource. Based on survey data of 554 Chinese manufacturing SMEs, this study extends recent research by emphasizing and investigating the SMEs' differences in openness as strategic context. While internal R&D is found to be positively associated with performance in searching broadly and deeply, cooperative R&D is found to have a stronger effect on performance only when SMEs conduct broader search.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"18 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":"131850278","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}

More specifically, we develop a conceptual model of the impact of intrafirm and inter-firm social capital on the performance and evolution of MSS firms. This model aims to explain the great performance differences between MSS firms in different regions of the world. We thus explore the social fabric in which software companies are embedded, affecting their growth and development in the market. Unlike existing theoretical models of social capital, the current theoretical framework proposed in this paper a) decomposes social capital based on the nature of interfirm and intra-firm social ties, b) includes the firm leaders' uncertainty avoidance as a precursor of the nature of firm social ties, and c) includes the national culture dimension of individualism/collectivism as an important moderator of the effect of intra-firm social ties on firm performance.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"94 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":"115737191","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}

Most research, however, reports that M&A's are invariably unable to live up to their expected value. This research reviewed acquisitions of technology based firms and identified the most significant factors affecting their desire to follow M&A as an exit strategy as well as its impact and results. The case study presented is one of a number of cases collected from technology startups acquired between 2000 and 2005 in the ICT sector. Using semi structured interviews, observations and secondary sources the case provides rich details of the acquisition and its outcomes. The conceptual framework that guided the original study integrated a wide range of theories, including those of strategic management, M&A in general, organizational studies, international business management and technology management. The key finding highlights the importance of the individual verses the firm as a variable both in research as well as when approaching M&A scenarios in industry.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"16 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":"115848662","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 most significant demand is the proposed need for a highly skilled labour force that has the ability to employ new knowledge, technologies, improvement methodologies and ultimately add value to existing goods and services in a socially changing environment. Essentially, these skills and capabilities are developed through a broad general higher education system. The clothing industry is a hands-on industry where rapid change occurred within the past few decades in terms of production, technology and skills application. It has evolved into a multifaceted industry that is not only concerned with the manufacture of clothing but also the systems of production, distribution, diffusion, reception, adoption and consumption which drive the clothing industry. The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of work integrated learning in a socially challenging environment through a case study methodology. The link between theory and practice is vital for the progress of technological improvements in industry. Therefore this study impacts technology management in a colossal way.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"19 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":"116037522","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}

These include technology development, technology improvement, technology leadership, technology partnerships and supplier participation, technology pioneering, technological integration, technological value and technology standards. Many of these key principles are based on actions that are intended to provide a new or enhanced technology, product or service to the consumer market. It is however important that this new or enhanced product or service that results for the innovation process, does indeed address a market or user need. This is the focus of the field of Requirements Engineering in the determination of market and user need. Research in this field have identified various challenges and pitfalls that exist that may hinder the determination of the actual need and the consequential acceptance of the new or enhanced technology by the market or user. The purpose of this paper is to explore areas of commonality within the requirements engineering domain that may be applicable to technology and innovation management and that can be exploited to add value and reduce risk.","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":"123798769","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}
