  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Infrastructure and Service Integration as a Key Process in Technology Management Author: Daim, Tugrul Unsal, Griffy-Brown, Charla Year: 2015 Services delivered through technologies have emerged as key contributors to the economy. In fact, the service sector has developed into a critical value driver in the 21st century, even for manufactured products. Furthermore, technology infrastructure has become one of the key success factors in the delivery of services. This special issue focuses on technology management aspects of the critical integration of services and infrastructure. This integration is complex and requires more systematic scholarly understanding in order to enhance successful service delivery. It is envisioned that this special issue begins to fill this gap. There are many examples of success and failure to learn from but little theory and systematic approaches to assist decision-makers as they provide technology enabled services. One recent example has been the roll out of the new US healthcare system (healthcare.gov) and the failure of the web interface. The main issue in this example was the process of integrating health care services with the information technology infrastructure. The less than effective management of technology in this case led to a failure which was globally newsworthy and had a significant negative effect on the intended outcome of providing affordable healthcare. This special issue explores both strategic aspects such as evaluation and planning of technologies as well as operational aspects such as implementation and actual integration of technologies with the services. It is envisioned that new scholarly approaches and understanding will inform decision-makers so that better outcomes can result regardless of whether the services are in the commercial, public or non-profit sectors and regardless of industry vertical.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Forecasting OLED TV Technology Using Bibliometrics and Fisher-Pry Diffusion Model Author: Cho, Yonghee, Daim, Tugrul Unsal, Sklar, Paul Year: 2015 The market of flat panel displays is experiencing rapid growth with the advancement of digital technologies in broadcasting service. The next challenge of LCD is OLED in TV market. The study attempts to investigate the trends in advanced or emerging technologies by determining their technology diffusion rates due to the lack of experiential data. With the development of information and communication technology, one of the recent methods to assist in technology forecasting is data mining in bibliometric or textual data from various sources such as patents, journals, and research awards. The information extracted from diverse sources can be employed in technology diffusion models such as Fisher-Pry where emerging technologies substitute older ones. The study uses web of science and compendex for bibliometric analysis to forecast the growth of next-generation OLED technologies based on the analogous growths of LCD technologies.
