In this regard, exploitation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with high and niche R&D and/or manufacturing capabilities in form of open innovation is a key. Although previous researches showed open innovation had become implemented more widely than ten years ago, in Japan, open innovation involving SMEs has not been widely adopted so far. In fact, there are several hurdles to overcome to realize open innovation with Japanese SMEs, such as difficulties to access their implicit information, which is typically disclosed only to trusted parties, and lack of network of local coordinators, including local bankers and personnel of local industry development organization, who have access to SMEs' technical information in their small territories. Therefore, it is necessary to organize network of these local specialists to search for broad range of SMEs. Recently, several companies have been trying to connect SMEs across Japan and Large Enterprises (LEs). In this paper, business model of one of such companies was analyzed, and the importance of the platform integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and manpower, which connects local coordinators with implicit knowledge of SMEs and LEs is discussed.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"29 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":"132774937","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 output of these novel innovation processes is often a digital entity like an app or a physical object. For users and consumers, it is important to keep a fluid interface between hardware and software assuring a proper and effective user experience (UX) during all user interaction (UI). This work uses review-centric research to identify from theory, a set of innovation and technological capabilities used in the product design stage of software development, and explores onto which of them are common to the tangible product design. The capabilities were grouped in three dimensions: organizational (human and strategy), structural (technology and knowledge management) and relationships (partnerships and transfer). Agile methodologies, rapid application development (RAD), scrum frameworks, lean development, Unified Modeling Language (UML), and other software industry tools were used as examples of design capability resources alongside new product development (NPD) and its product design and strategy generation tools for project development in tangible/non-tangible products like QFD, Stage-Gate, TRIZ, etc. A model of a common product development cycle for both tangible and software products is displayed showing their similarity and how they connect.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"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":"122215977","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}

To evaluate customer satisfaction has been a challenge for companies since high levels of satisfaction correlate with high levels of performance. Particularly in the provision of public services such as water, sanitation, gas and energy, it can assess the level of consumer satisfaction with power utilities. The design of the performance measurement system model and the respective formulation of its indicators is, therefore, a critical element in the design of the service operations management system. Performance evaluation in utilities' services is strongly connected to customer satisfaction. This work presents a literature review of customer satisfaction and performance evaluation and a set of performance measures to form the customer satisfaction for electric power supply services. The main result is a framework regarding the performance indicators to be monitored for electricity services customer satisfaction, the frequency of measurement, the frequency of review, who is responsible for the measurement and the source of data.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"5 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":"130771560","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 growing body of research has analyzed the direct and indirect effects of FDI on developing countries, some of which date back to as early as 1999. This paper stems from an ongoing field research project with a global research policy organization on exploring the interactions between MNEs, the eco-systems that they sustain and their interactions with the local and regional governments. Given the privacy of the ongoing research data, at this point we provide a simple recollection of the current state of literature on the addressing the relationships among these companies, their eco-system, and the government. We also deliver a closer look into the technology and knowledge spill-overs following FDI, for assessing the current state of benefiting from linkages between MNE and the local domestic firms. Further insights on the field research outputs will become available during the PICMET Conference.","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":"131082552","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}

This case study explored the biotechnology research field of genome editing, CRISPR-Cas9, which has generated start-ups that completed IPOs in 2016. We constructed cited-and-citing author networks based on paper citation networks, calculated centralities for each author, checked if authors of high centralities are founders, and chronologically compared the centralities and the start-ups' founding and venture capital funding. Results show that authors with higher combined centralities have higher rates of being founders, with potential to let their start-ups raise initial VC funding, similarly to the number of citations, a conventional bibliometric index. Furthermore, the centralities can serve as better indexes of scientists' potential to become founders, reflecting their \"start-up readiness,\" because the centralities might encompass a wider range of potential founders.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"41 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":"133407291","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}

Striving to fulfill this demand, companies underestimate the negative financial effect of a higher product variety. Therefore, complexity costs for new product variants with small volumes are often only roughly estimated. This leaves a severe risk for crosssubsidization of exotic variants and a loss in the company's competitive market position. Previous research does not provide a holistic approach that considers the integration of complexity costs related to a new variant and the existing variants in the offer process. This paper introduces a methodology facing these challenges. Adjustments of product configurations during the configuration process are analyzed and taken into account in order to increase the transparency during this work-flow. Complexity costs of new customer specific product variants can be determined at an early stage of the offer process. By using similarity analysis, they are clustered and distributed to the causative department. Customers can thus be managed through the offer process and the pricing of the product can be optimized as the complexity costs are considered as well.","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":"116980670","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 great share of these new business models is enabled by smart product field data, which is generated during the product's phase of utilization. To capture the diluting value and commodification of mechanical products, companies within the manufacturing industry as the provider of smart products have to position themselves strategically against new competitors, e.g. from the IT sector, to avoid being victim to the \"digital Darwinism\". A growing number of manufacturing companies already starts to see the revenue and differentiation potential of smart product data as a competitive advantage. Similar to other intangible assets, a comprehensive understanding of the quality, scope and value of smart product field data is a basic prerequisite for its monetization. However, so far the majority of companies are lacking this basic understanding for the value of their smart product data, thus not being able to lever its potentials. Hence, this paper develops a model, which supports manufacturing companies in assessing, if a generic set of field data generated by a smart product is able to provide value added for the user. In the model itself, field data of smart products as well as \"digitally enabled functionalities\" will be examined extensively. Subsequently, generic sets of field data as carrier of information will be mapped regarding their suitability for enabling functionalities, which represent a demand of information.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"54 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":"117172771","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}
