Therefore, a multidisciplinary research field was formed around research on technology-based innovation and entrepreneurship. However, despite the managerial and technological skills required in the challenge of new venture creation and development, little attention has been paid to the product/service and business levels of analysis of this phenomenon. An in-depth longitudinal study was conducted with four startups along 27 months. It was based on technology entrepreneurship, innovation management and new product development literatures. This research proposes a seven-step process model integrated to innovation management tools to support entrepreneurs in the context of startup creation and development. And then some theoretical and practical aspects of the proposed model are discussed. In particular the paper brings concerns on how the process and integrated tools helped TE management, how they were created and adapted to the startup context throughout the research, and which were the real contributions and limitations of well-known approaches, such as Lean Startup and other tools and processes.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"10 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":"130836988","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}

Many auxiliary tools to PubMed have been proposed to help the users with searching and acquiring knowledge from electronic literatures. However, they are insufficient to overcome the challenge from drastic increase in the size of the literature, which triggered the need for a new tool. The authors introduce a new tool, GridaMed, to visualize the recent research trend based on the retrieved documents corresponding to a user's simple search query to PubMed. GridaMed utilizes the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) tagged in the PubMed documents, which are extracted from the documents, and generates the MeSH map (or MeSH network) by calculating the correlations of every MeSH term pairs based on the similarities of the keywords from the document titles. GridaMed provides a feature called ‘click-and-link’, which provides the list of documents containing a specific MeSH represented as a node in the MeSH map. The MeSH map can be used as a ‘guide map for travelers’ for an easy acquisition of the knowledge on the research trend. The combination of PubMed and MeSH map is expected to be an effective complementary system for biomedical professionals who find it difficult to search and analyze information due to the explosive increase in the literature.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"53 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132899608","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 requires industries to reduce production costs while maintaining product quality and also decision makers to make the right decision to support and improve the various process. Looking at the complex nature of globalization today, it encompass a holistic approach in order to stay competitive at the international level for both developing and developed countries. This in general requires a high level of competitiveness and rational policies from decision makers in order to cope with global risks. In industrialized countries, the key contributor to the national economy in particular is the automotive industry which manufactures all types of vehicles that are needed or used in different sectors of the government and nation which includes tourism, transportation, road construction and agriculture. Therefore any improvement or disruption of the automotive industry can deeply affect the economy of the nation either in a positive or native way. In this research paper, we have analyzed previous research work done in addressing the global competitiveness of the South African automotive industry and according to our findings, it shows that more still needs to be done in order to improve the global competitiveness of the automotive industry in South Africa.","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":"131635902","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}

Data mining techniques have proven to be very useful in many domains. However, there is no single algorithm or technique that works best across all types of datasets and problems, and it remains \"an art\" to decide what data mining technique to use for a specific situation. This paper surveys several data mining techniques that can be applied to different business problems, and presents a decision model in the form of a series of 15–20 questions that help identify the best approach or approaches to a specific problem at hand. For some sets of answers, a small number of techniques are dominant. The decision model is based on a review of the current literature, as well as expert experience. The fraud detection problem is adopted as a case study and applied the data mining techniques to draw the insights. We also discuss the applicability of specific techniques to common business in finance, marketing, and business operations.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"47 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":"115901000","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 purpose of the SLR on dynamic capabilities (DC), strategic foresight (SF) and organizational learning (OL) is to advance the academic perspective on dynamic capabilities by analyzing how SF and OL integrate into the DC framework. This advancement is necessary since the pace of changes in an organization's environment is increasing, causing competitive pressure to rise. An organization needs to address such changes by adjusting existing capabilities or acquire new ones and thus strengthen their competitiveness. SF provides information and insights about future developments or changes of an organization's business environment. After which OL integrates the obtained information into the strategic planning process. It is important to include the concepts of SF and OL into the DC framework, because an organization without learning cannot integrate information into the organizational decision-making process. The results of the SLR present a triangle relation ship among DC, SF and OL that can help to operationalize the DC framework. A practical application of dynamic capabilities facilitates the long-term performance and sustainability of an organization.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"31 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":"124140103","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}
