Unfortunately, most firms fail to understand what is really a factual demand of their business environment, since changes occur unexpectedly and ambiguously. As a result, numerous researchers are trying to build theories and models that can evaluate changes in the business environment of an organization. Environmental velocity is one theory that can help both academics and practitioners to understand changes in the industry an organization operates in. Environmental velocity assesses the rate and direction of change for a given industry, to classify it into low, medium or high velocity. Understanding the velocity of an organization's business environment will help management to develop a suitable strategy that can effectively handle the changes in their industry. The purpose of the research proposed in this paper is to develop a quantitative measurement tool for environmental velocity. At present, most of the existing assessment models are qualitative in nature, where the judgment of velocity is based on opinion. To build a velocity assessment model, the proposed research is going to examine relevant criteria and their relative effect on environmental velocity across industries with different velocities. With such an assessment model organizations are able to prepare themselves for changes in their business environment and thus reduce some of the uncertainties and risks associated with them.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"29 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":"129420364","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}

Big-data technologies play an essential part in the technological side of these changes. Our objective is to identify the public broadcasters' big-data technology trajectories in this changing environment. We propose two research questions to narrow down the objective: What are the big-data technology trajectories of public broadcasters? Also, which are the directions of big-data technologies proposed by the public broadcasters? We propose as the method, to analyze scientific paper's keywords and combine it with network analysis. We compare two datasets, big-data, and public broadcasters. The big-data set is borrowed from a previous work done by the authors which detected big-data keywords proxy of knowledge convergence. The public broadcasters' dataset is created from the scientific publications reported by BBC and NHK. We match the big-data converging keywords to the keywords of the BBC and NHK publications and visualize their behavior over the time (2008–2016). We analyze the documents linked to the shared keywords on both datasets to identify the big-data technology trajectories and propose future directions. We identified as big-data technological trajectories for BBC, Linked open data, recommender system, semantic web, and Image processing; For NHK, speech recognition, Generate metadata to index NHK's programs and Augmented reality (AR). Concerning their future, the detected trajectories are expected to be useful for broadcasters an organizations related to their value chain.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"1 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":"130657018","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}

Reference [3] reported coworkers' influence on POS through social networking. However, there are few studies on PSS according to hierarchy and PCS. This study investigated the strength of employees' perceptions of support from coworker and from supervisors, and the correlation between perceived coworker support, supervisor support with affective commitment, and citizenship behavior. Research subjects included are 83 technical employees working in two factories belonging in a steel manufacturing group located in the region in Japan. We analyzed the data using regression analysis and covariance structure analysis. We found that (1) perceived support from coworkers had greater influence than that from the factory manager and immediate supervisors. (2) Perceived support from upper manager influence more than that from the factory manager and immediate supervisors. (3) Affective commitment (AC) mediated between perceived coworkers and supervisor support and citizenship behavior.

The sector has faced a number of challenges. The first challenge has been in terms of the definition and the distinction between what is considered an artisanal operation as opposed to a small scale mining operation. The other critical challenge has been in terms of a lack of a strategy for ensuring sustainability of these operations within the sector. While artisanal mining is often associated to illegal activities, small scale operations in general comply with national legislative requirements. The methodology used to develop a scientific definition for small scale mining was to firstly identify from literature the main criteria that differentiate artisanal from small scale mining operations. The Pairwise Comparison was then used as the decision making tool of choice. A survey was developed and submitted to experts and specialists in the field to determine the importance and the weights of the selected criteria. A strategy for sustainability and economic growth was developed by using a case study approach which involved visiting selected legal small scale mining and processing operations. A questionnaire was developed to gather information using a structured interview process. The data gathered was then compared with literature to identify focus areas. The four areas found were Management, Skills, Chemical Analysis and Technology. An Integrated Management Model for improving productivity and ensuring the sustainability of Small Scale Mining Operations in South Africa was successfully developed.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"1 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":"116173973","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}

But with the vast amount of research papers available today it has become more challenging to search and screen for appropriate papers to include in the review. This paper has analyzed different approaches to a literature review and explains the evolution from the traditional literature review to a more modern systematic literature review. The systematic literature review (SLR) can be classified into four key stages: Planning, Conducting, Analysis & Synthesis, and Reporting. The purpose of this paper is to propose a modified SLR process that includes automation and bibliometrics. Automation is a method that can operationalize the manual tasks of the SLR by using specific tools and computer systems. Bibliometrics is a method to analyze the bibliographic data of published literature to provide an overview of the body of knowledge for a given field of inquiry. The proposed modified SLR process improves the previous versions that rely only on manual search and extraction, by combining the strength of both methods and integrating them into the stages of the SLR process. This addition to the traditional SLR will facilitate the process to produce a faster and more effective Literature review.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"23 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114032005","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}

Innovation hubs encourage service in academia, including collaborations between industry and academia in shared facilities owned by public research establishments. Prior research has highlighted already that shared core facilities in Western countries emphasize efficiency and usability for external users. However, little attention has been paid to the academic service of scientists and coordinators, almost all of who have PhDs and aim to contribute to their academic communities. In particular, this article examines pathways for enhancing scientists' and coordinators' incentives to academic service activities, analyzing the epistemic culture of service activities in shared facilities, and using ethnographic data obtained in Japanese public establishments such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facilities, Synchrotron Radiation facilities, and a Neutron source facility.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"213 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":"115794549","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}

Technology providers require a careful strategy to make a profit from standardization activities. The core of this is to determine in what state the technology in the target product itself will be kept, which is the technology control strategy. What is particularly important is to determine what information will be proactively disclosed based on the theory, utility, and implementation of the technology, and what information will be kept secret; furthermore, if multiple technologies are used in one product, it is also important to have a strategy for the proper use of each technology, such as which technology should be kept secret in order to secure profits, and which technology should be disseminated in order to expand the market. In this paper, I examine several cases of standardization and, by focusing on those that earned profits, I present technology management strategies that generate profits using standardization without standard essential patents.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"11 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":"130142193","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 information can be corroborated with other sources of data to evaluate the availability of precious resources, e.g., potable water, agriculture; to forecast upcoming famines or diseases; and to perform mapping, communications, and competitive analyses. The cost of owning a satellite is less than $100,000 (using commercial parts) to $1,000 (built by school kids). Launch costs are tens of thousands of dollars, which can be eliminated through subsidies. Compare these costs to $200 million to $1 billion costs for similar functionality, higher performance and greater durability—an interesting trade space that favors multiple low cost flights versus significantly higher costs for permanent satellites for an increasing number of applications. The challenge is to form and manage a development team of unskilled professionals, high school students, or university students to meet deadlines and flight-standards. These team members are likely highly motivated and unskilled.

The way ethnography was introduced to the business community is rather convoluted and far from straightforward. (1) The explanations of ex-managers of companies that were first to adopt ethnography, described as \"early adopters\", were really only focused on business issues. (2) Researchers value academic networks, and they assert that ethnography entered Japan though endogenous developments in academia. (3) Recognising this trend, the mass media sought other examples from various companies that they then reported on. These were companies that were doing consumer research and work in the field. These companies, described as \"followers\", did not know the English term \"ethnography\", but recognised the trend through being reported on and proceeded to employ this in the PR. One could see this as a \"feedback loop\" between mass media and firms' business affairs. The implication of the discussion here, could also be seen as an example of how business trends are formed and take hold.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"13 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":"134600045","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}
