In order to better explain the paths and ways of the effects of PIPs on patent quality, this article also considers the mediating role of firms' ambidextrous R&D behaviors. It is divided into exploration and exploitation of R&D behaviors by technology boundaries. The research results show that PCPs and PUPs each have different effects on ambidextrous R&D behavior and patent quality, and there is even the possibility of negative effects. The higher the magnitude and balance of synergy between the two types of PIPs, the more they can promote patent quality improvement. In addition, the magnitude and balance between the two types of PIPs synergy have different effects on ambidextrous R&D behavior. The mediating effect of dual R&D behavior between PIPs and patent quality is significant.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1207-1230"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143821892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, not all consumers have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits associated with BCT-enabled traceability. In this article, we investigate the impacts of consumer awareness on the adoption of BCT within a supply chain comprising a manufacturer and a retailer. We develop two distinct scenarios: Scenario B, where the supply chain traceability is managed via traditional digital systems, and Scenario E, where the supply chain traceability is managed via BCT-enabled systems. We introduce the concept of consumer traceability awareness level, representing the proportion of the consumer population that is knowledgeable about the advantages of these traceability technologies. The findings reveal that the adoption of BCT enhances the overall performance of the supply chain and makes it more sensitive to the consumer traceability awareness level. Nonetheless, the manufacturer consistently experiences advantages from BCT adoption, whereas the retailer's situation may deteriorate. In both scenarios, a low traceability awareness level prompts the retailer to target all consumers, whereas a high-traceability awareness level shifts its focus solely to the knowledgeable consumers. Intriguingly, the adoption of BCT shifts the retailer's inclination toward targeting the knowledgeable consumers rather than all consumers.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1140-1153"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It clarifies how firms make strategic decisions under varying ESG benchmarks. The analysis shows that government subsidies help mitigate financial risks linked to exploratory innovation, encouraging firms to pursue competitive return innovation activities. As market competition intensifies, firms often shift toward more conservative innovation strategies—unless counterbalanced by significant profit opportunities. Notably, the findings reveal a “U-shaped” relationship between ESG performance and innovation: early ESG efforts may initially constrain innovation by reallocating resources to compliance, but stronger ESG engagement ultimately enhances innovation capabilities. By integrating stakeholder and institutional theories, this article illuminates how ESG practices influence innovation choices in different institutional contexts, advancing our theoretical understanding of sustainable innovation. These insights can inform corporate strategies and policy frameworks aimed at fostering long-term, sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1297-1319"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, two typical issues threaten DL training process performance: poor security and privacy in data sharing. To address these problems, a blockchain-based federated learning (BCFL) framework is proposed from a collaborative governance perspective to obtain optimistic DL models for CSS. Two special works of this BCFL framework are that 1) it develops the federated learning empowered privacy-preserving data sharing with the principle of sharing data model weights instead of raw data (especially for one DL application for CSS, the Fed-YOLOv4 model for workers’ unsafe behavior identification task is developed) and 2) it explores two blockchain-based secure model sharing strategies that involve blockchain–interplanetary file system combination and model training contribution computing. Then, the smart contracts are further developed with the strategies above to streamline the workflow of federated DL model training. Finally, we apply the proposed framework to the practical subway project. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework can improve the DL model training and acquire global DL models for CSS with good accuracy. Our findings indicate that great data security and privacy ensured by introducing blockchain and federated learning can optimize data sharing and then DL models can be improved. Moreover, this study provides managers with a collaborative governance perspective on how DL models can be improved and further applied to CSS. This enables managers to quickly understand project safety performance and make timely managerial decisions for construction management.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1163-1177"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ambidextrous strategy has emerged as a promising approach to address such a challenge. This study investigates whether the ambidextrous strategy enhances firm performance and capabilities compared to efficiency-oriented or innovation-oriented strategies in the context of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Korea. To achieve this objective, companies were categorized within a 2×2 matrix, with quadrants determined based on mean values of efficiency scores and the level of innovation. Notably, this research differs from prior studies by placing a specific emphasis on quantifying operational efficiency through the input-oriented BCC data envelopment analysis model. Subsequently, it empirically identifies the most effective strategy both in a general sense and at each life cycle stage. The findings of this study are twofold: First, companies in the mature growth and maturity stages achieve the highest sales profits when actively pursuing an ambidextrous strategy. Second, companies prioritizing innovation generally demonstrate higher capabilities across all stages. These results offer valuable insights and strategic guidance for business practitioners seeking strategic approaches that balance innovation and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1089-1101"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior research has underscored the significance of establishing an appropriate regulatory environment in diffusing these standards, the relationship between mandatory regulations and voluntary environmental standards adoption remains controversial. Distinguishing from the view of a positive or negative linear relationship, in this article, we draw on neoinstitutional theory to suggest that the tradeoff between the legitimacy benefits and costs may result in a curvilinear relationship. Specifically, using leadership in energy and environmental design certification data in the U.S. states from 2000 to 2020, we investigate how mandatory regulations influence the diffusion of voluntary environmental standards and examine the moderating role of policy mood (liberal ideology versus conservative ideology). Our findings reveal a U-shaped relationship between mandatory regulations and the diffusion breadth and depth of voluntary environmental standards. Moreover, policy mood favoring more liberal ideology amplifies the convexity of these U-shaped relationships. Our study contributes to the growing body of research on environmental governance and offers novel insights into strategies for effectively diffusing voluntary environmental standards in terms of breadth and depth. In addition, this study also provides guidance for policymakers to foster sustainability practices diffusion through regulatory instruments.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1102-1116"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143748736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this consensus, management frequently encounters a distinct lack of coordination among teams engaged in new information technology product development (NITPD). The prevailing wisdom suggests that shared rewards can motivate intrateam members to prioritize shared responsibilities in pursuit of team-based goals, while individual rewards can motivate personal accomplishments. As research on MTS matures, in this article, we acknowledge a gap in our theoretical understanding of how better to motivate a group of teams within these systems. Our approach harnesses prevailing reward structures through a sequential mixed-method design, culminating in the establishment of an “MTS reward structures” framework. This framework integrates rewards focused on individual component teams with those targeting the MTS as a whole, taking into consideration the dynamic interplay with NITPD tasks. Qualitative findings suggest that task characteristics distinctly influence team motivation: information technology (IT) compatibility-building tasks appear to heighten perceived dependency and, thus, better motivate teams when system-based rewards are offered, while IT novelty-responding tasks seem to bolster perceived competence, resonating more with teams that receive component-team-based rewards. Our quantitative analysis, drawing from a multiwave and multisource survey involving 104 large-scale NITPDs, tests these hypothesized relationships. Results reveal that the nature of the task at hand profoundly magnifies the relationship between given reward structures and level of interteam coordination—an insight pivotal for managing and motivating teams in complex, NITPD contexts.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1052-1068"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the knowledge of CQM is diverse in format and scattered in different stakeholders within the whole construction processes. Therefore, knowledge management (KM) of CQM is underinvestigated. To offering a comprehensive view of KM in CQM, this article employed a mixed review method to critically review 87 related articles. The results indicate 1) building information modeling, ontology, and natural language processing are identified as critical technologies in KM, 2) expert system and decision support, structural health monitoring, and project management are the major application domains. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the literature based on the three phases of quality control: pre-construction, in-construction, and post-construction. The results are discussed to critically assess the critical technologies in KM. A framework is proposed to guide the effective implementation of KM in CQM, alongside a discussion of the current challenges and opportunities. The article further identifies potential development directions for KM in CQM, including total quality management, digital twins, development of large language models, construction of “No-cost” KM platforms, uniform evaluation and standardization mechanisms, tacit knowledge capture, and confidentiality and security. A novel paradigm for knowledge-driven quality management decision-making is first introduced. This article offers a comprehensive perspective on the application of KM in CQM, which will significantly enhance the effectiveness of CQM implementation in the future.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1069-1088"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
