The concept of systems intelligence (SI), developed in the field of systems thinking, puts forth a set of competencies in such settings. The relationship between SI and knowledge management has already been discussed conceptually in a previous study, particularly in the context of the SECI model, a well-known framework of organizational knowledge creation (KC). The present study is the first attempt to provide empirical evidence on the relationship between these two constructs, namely SI and KC. By means of a questionnaire survey using established scales, we collected data from employees of various organizations. We then investigated statistically how each SI competency can affect each KC process. The results show that, among several SI competencies, both a spirit of discovery and positive engagement have the most predominant influence on diverse KC activities in organizations. These findings could be helpful for managers to design mechanisms to involve people in KC activities in their groups or organizations.","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":"123617488","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}

However, the pure availability of digital technologies in a particular country does not guarantee to establish successful companies and economic growth. Companies are located in certain regional or urban environments with varying contextual factors. Cities have been a popular unit of analysis for technological development and economic activities due to their high dependency on immediate local environmental factors. Nevertheless, the literature offers a limited view on the relationship between technological developments and entrepreneurial activities at city level to identify feasible frameworks to support a digitally competitive entrepreneurial ecosystem. By combining the previous literature on entrepreneurship and digital technologies within a particular urban context, this paper offers a conceptual approach that might help policy makers to plan the future competitiveness of their cities.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"74 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":"124708053","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}

However, research on the technological innovation process and outcomes of socio-tech ventures, those that are formed to create social value via employing technology, is lacking. Drawing from the adoption of innovation and strategic orientation literature, we present a conceptual model of how technological innovation investments by socio-tech ventures made during the innovation adoption process influences changes in its market versus social strategic orientation. These innovation investments are viewed across four relevant levels of analysis: Founders, Innovation, Organization, and External Environment. The conceptual model presented suggests that the tenure and innovation stance of venture leaders, the complexity and trialability of the technological innovation, the legal structure of the venture, and the social network interconnectedness can cause changes in the social-market strategic orientation balance of socio-tech ventures.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"114 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":"124777458","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}

While exploring the field of business model innovation, it can be seen that there is a lack of quantified empirical studies, which investigate these factors, in this context. This paper aims to identify the success factors for business model innovation, evaluate the theoretical hypotheses statistically with partial least squares (PLS), and give recommendations for managerial actions on the basis of a cluster analysis. A cross-industry management survey was done to collect the sample data. The study consists of ten constructs, which are defined as follows: innovation culture, innovation competence, business model innovation process, network and partner collaboration, acquisition of technology and knowledge, clear product advantage, clear value proposition, customer orientation, customer retention and price management. To assess the complex nature of business model innovation, we choose a second-order SEM-model. The contribution of this paper to the management literature is achieved by providing concrete and validated entrepreneurial action strategies for superior economic growth.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"35 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":"129326309","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 multifunctional CNC machines are capable of meeting several production goals including faster processing, minimizing non-value added times, concurrent processing of multiple parts and flexibility in processing high mix of products. This technology has become increasingly sophisticated and expensive capital equipment. This study entails a framework of technology selection and discussion of critical selection criteria such as product design features, impact of material type on processing power requirement and production goals.

For this reason, the more research elements are in the offshore R&D project, the personal ability of overseas developers will be more important. In other words, to improve the efficiency of offshore R&D, the management method which can overcome the problems of cross-cultural communication is required, and the management method that can fully use the personal ability of overseas developers is also required. Then, according to the progress toward integration of home country team and overseas team in offshore R&D, we proposed a management model to manage home country developers and overseas developers as one same global team without the boundary for drawing out the personal ability of overseas developers. In order to make sure that the proposed management model can be functioned well, bridge manager is required to carry out three important roles to make sure that home country and overseas can function as one team well introduction.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"39 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":"129166694","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 systematic nature of the interaction processes in collaborative teams based on specific productive context has not been sufficiently addressed. This study proposes a systematic process of product development that allows, through a script of early stage of product development improving the effectiveness of collaborative teams. The proposal is based on ill-structured problem solving models; the perspective of resources and capabilities based on literature of management, and the approaches from the design of co-creation and collaborative learning. The proposed script was evaluated through an experiment design with four product development teams. The proposal goal has three contributions: firstly in relation to the improvement of the novelty of the product, second in relation to the decrease of uncertainty in the introduction of the product in the market, and third encouraging standardized work practices that adhere to a consistent set of procedures that can be successful.

Consequently, the challenges which small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) face are more daunting than those facing larger organisations, the reason being that most SMMEs do not have the skill set to address the underlying factors contributing to them being non-competitive. This is also the case in South Africa. Entrepreneurs, who own most SMMEs in manufacturing, have no knowledge of how to solve problems related to poor process performance, which results in many such enterprises failing. Lean manufacturing developed from the Toyota Production System (TPS) over decades, delivering sufficient evidence as an authoritative methodology to assist organisations in addressing factors which contribute to their underperformance. One such factor which informs substandard performance is poor process flow, caused by waste in processes. Lean manufacturing employs a plethora of tools and techniques in order to address waste. The paper reflects on the appropriate lean tools which South African manufacturing SMMEs could use to improve processes within their respective organisations. The project started out by identifying the most obvious wastes and addressing those first. The techniques utilised focused on eight wastes, applying the 5S through the 5Why technique in order to achieve continuous improvement.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"14 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":"124940897","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}

It is also an important evolutionary mechanism for inter-industry technological correlation systems. As technological interaction emerges and develops among related industries, some common characteristics can be observed in various industrial phases. This article builds a conceptual model on the co-evolution mechanism based on the causal relationships, processes, and results of inter-industry technological interactions. A five-stage collaborative evolution model and its evolutionary path are proposed. According to the intensity and direction of the technological interactions among industries in various stages, the process of synergetic development and its rules are revealed. Through the case study of 3D printing and related industries, it can be found that both the stage and level of correlated development are different during the technological innovation process. The roles and positions in the correlation are different among related industries. The findings of this research provide insights for technology policy in different high-tech industries. Decision makers can develop more effective innovation strategies, and promote the co-evolution of new technologies in different development stages of high-tech industries.","PeriodicalId":444748,"journal":{"name":"2018 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"2 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":"121351822","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}
