In the last decade, Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Saudi market were occupied by non-Saudis especially in the major cities. Therefore, the government with the cooperation of private sector has established programs and initiatives to support young Saudis to open their own businesses and become entrepreneurs. The vision of Saudi Arabia 2030 has set a goal to increase contribution of the SMEs to the economy. One key performance indicator of the vision is to increase the contribution of entrepreneurs from 20% to 35 by 2030 with a focus on supporting female employment and empowerment. This paper employed survey research to assess the current situation of female entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia. The study revealed that most female Saudi entrepreneurs own small home operated businesses. Financial funding and unawareness of supportive programs were found to be the main obstacles that are currently facing the development of female entrepreneurs in the Saudi market. The research concluded with recommendations in which are believed can help to overcome the obstacles females are facing in establishing and running a business.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129737962","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 benefits obtained by the employment of digital technologies are broadly acknowledged. However, decisions need to be made about which technologies to acquire and how to integrate them into the business. In order to do this efficiently, organizations and disruptors all over the world need to understand the key drivers of digital transformation that affect their operations and industries. In this paper, the outcomes of a systematic literature review are presented which identify the drivers for digital transformations across key industries — using the example of Australia and its five core industries of services, mining, manufacturing, agriculture and construction. Outcomes indicate that drivers for digital transformation vary significantly across different industries. However, some drivers such as \"environmental sustainability\" were found to be important across most industries. The results contribute to current research in this field by providing a comprehensive overview of industry-specific transformation drivers. This will support decision-making for technology managers and provide the foundation for similar studies in other countries.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129899994","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}

CPS are key technologies to implement the digitalization and interlinking of production processes with the advantage of increasing production efficiency and flexibility. However, it is difficult to evaluate properly how much CPS can contribute to profit growth because of various costs of complex CPS components and ambiguous estimation of potential CPS benefits. For SMEs, the investment decision on CPS is especially difficult due to the lack of human resources with CPS competence and limited financial resources. Thus, an evaluation model for assessing the economic effectiveness of CPS aimed at SMEs is developed in this paper. To assess the effectiveness, different cost types of implementing CPS are identified and classified. Furthermore, potential benefits of CPS utilization are analyzed comprehensively and calculation rules for monetization of benefits are suggested. The metric \"Return on CPS (RoCPS)\" is defined to value the profit based on the invested capital. The RoCPS will facilitate the selection of economically efficient CPS solutions, supporting SMEs with economic growth by reasonable technology management. Finally, the evaluation model is validated by a use case of an electric vehicle start-up.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130817730","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}

Despite the implementation of ‘agile methods’ to enable shorter development cycles and continuous customer feedback, the success score of most corporates still lacks market-changing innovations. Disruption is a continuous process that should start with niche products focusing on insufficiently addressed customer needs and — given a positive market feedback — continue with new variants to gain market share step-by-step. Hence, a needs-oriented definition of the initial product offer followed by a need-based planning of future product variants are essential for a disruptive product strategy. Yet, companies' failure rates of ∼40% for new products show that the need-based definition of minimum viable products and the planning of later product generations is insufficient. In this paper, the authors present a framework for a disruption-oriented product planning process. Based on a literature analysis focused on methodologies supporting the development process of potentially disruptive innovations, basic criteria are derived and deficits of existing approaches are identified. The framework will help companies as a guideline to understand the overall process of how to develop disruptive innovations. It further explains the essential activities and their interactions.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133908349","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 this context, the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling linkages and communication between physical and virtual objects, is the technological foundation of implementing Industry 4.0. In such a fast-paced environment, it is vital for companies to react quickly and exploit new business opportunities. One critical example is the interplay between logistics and information and communications technology (ICT) industries, where IoT has the potential to align goods and information flows in an unprecedented manner. The arising new functionalities, services and products show potential to blur the industries' boundaries and give birth to a whole new industry segment. Therefore, the present study strives to anticipate industry convergence between logistics and ICT industries in the realm of IoT. The empirical patent analysis is based on IPC co-classification and assignee structure. The analyses are refined along the different levels of IoT to provide detailed insights for companies where new technological and market competences need to be acquired.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133765549","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}

Firstly, different from traditional crowdfunding models, this emerging platform enterprise combines reward-based crowdfunding with equity-based crowdfunding(or lending-based crowdfunding). Such kinds of crowdfunding models make the transitions that the roles of backers are not merely customers, stockholders, or creditors but a dual role as being customers and stockholders(or creditors) at the same time. Secondly, to further motivate the communication among backers and fundraisers, the Chinese platform enterprise tried to create the community of stockholders and the membership system which make it possible that even backers and fundraisers of different projects could make connections with each other. Thirdly, the platform creating is the first step adopted by the enterprise to create a comprehensive business ecosystem, consisting of operational supporting, institutional investors, entrepreneurship service, intelligent hotel management service, content service, as well as famous OTAs. Such comprehensive ecosystem offers more connectivity and promote the distribution of information. We focus on the model development and try to provide insights for the growth and development of crowdfunding.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134161969","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}
