  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Hierarchy Decision Model for Managing Innovative R&D Product Development Projects Author: Durairajan, Saranya, Ibarra, Maria M., Khormaee, Izad, Spatar, Daria Year: 2012 Technological innovation is critical to any organization’s ability to survive and grow in today’s business environment. It is widely accepted that companies’ ability to effectively manage its Research and Development (R&D) investments and portfolio in order to deliver value through technological innovation is a key determinant of its market success and competitive advantage [13]. With globalization, Companies’ have a broader access to information and markets which have resulted in amplifying the need for technological innovation in order to succeed over the long term [11]. Although companies have access to and use tools to measure quantitative aspect of the business especially on the input side of innovation, it has been proven much more challenge to measure the qualitative aspect of innovation. Technology managers and leaders need methodological assessment tools in order to decide among the active technologically innovative projects in their organization. This paper focuses on technologically innovative projects where R&D managers are not able to directly leverage knowledge from past project successes and failures. The objective of this project is to develop a decision model based on Mission, Objectives, Goals and Activities (MOGSA) model developed by Dr. Kocaoglu and his team [18] in order to enable the management to relatively rank various projects in their R&D Portfolio. Using the relative rank from the decision model, R&D managers are able to determine appropriate funding allocation; in some cases resulting in termination of one or more projects with lower future potential in order to provide additional funding for more promising projects.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Eco-Innovation: Innovation Goes Green Author: Khanam, Momtaj, Khammuang, Monticha, Gajavelly, Nikesh Year: 2014 The term “eco-innovation” is thought to be first coined by Claude Fussler and Peter James in their book “Driving Eco-Innovation” in 1996. Fussler and James defined “Eco-Innovation” as new products and process that provide customers and business value while significantly decreasing environmental impacts. However, with the passage of time with increasing concern for sustainable development eco-innovation has started to consider social and institutional aspects as well. A series of terms are used interchangeably with eco-innovation e,g, environmental innovation, innovation for sustainable development and sustainable innovation. Since 2000, environmental innovation is attracting attention to comply with ‘Lisbon Objectives’ on growth and innovation and the ‘Gothenburg priorities’ on sustainable development.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: TRM for Next Generation PC: Hybrid-PC Author: Khalifa, Zack, Burgan, Mohamed, Bregaj, Tila, Al Mallak, Manar Year: 2012 Technology roadmap (TRM) is a powerful management tool for technology planning process. The uniqueness of this tool enables firms to identify, and develop technology alternatives that are required to meet a set of product or service needs. In this framework we utilized this powerful tool to measure the pace of the next hybrid PC generations. The main catalyst behind this study is attempting to answer the question of why PC sales have shrunk recently. We started conducting our research by applying the macroeconomics forces at the macro scale to have a clear vision of the exerted forces on PC industry—namely the impact of tablets, Ultrabook, laptops, and smartphones on PCs. Accordingly, we conducted an intensive literature review followed by a survey to understand the trends of PC industry as well as the end users’ needs. Based on the knowledge extracted from the literature and the survey, we constructed the Technology Roadmap of the next hybrid PC generations. The developed roadmap— consisted of drivers, products, technology, and resources—empowered us to evaluate the current state of PC industry and revealed technological gaps implicitly. We believe the technological gaps discovered by this framework, will help any hypothetical manufacturer pioneer in the PC industry to cope up with the dynamic of PC market for the next five years.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evaluation of emerging Logic Devices for Future Semiconductor Industry Author: Bourque, Jacques, Meng, Liang, Ho-min, Lai, Vagesh, Nikita, Ashraf, Rehman, Suharto, Yulianto Year: 2010 This paper demonstrates the use of decision models for the evaluation of emerging logic device technologies for future semiconductor industry. The objective of the decision model discussed in this paper is to choose the optimum emerging logic device technologies among some of the alternatives that have been developed for years. A hierarchical decision model (HDM) was selected as the tool and a model was constructed to meet this objective. Density, performance, power, compatibility and readiness in year 2018 were identified as the five criteria to support the objective described above. The alternatives were chosen among all the emerging technology devices related to semiconductor industry. The pair wise comparison is used to determine the relative impact of each criterion towards the main objective. Once these steps are established, the model can be calculated; comparisons between the alternatives will be made and the best logic device to choose will be recommended based upon the criteria.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Google's Technology Strategy Author: Murthy, Mamatha, Maheshwari, Priti, Neethirajan, Aarthi, Upadhyay, Jubin, Soysa, Dinesh, Taddesse, Neb Year: 2010 Google Inc. is a multinational public corporation invested in Internet search, cloud computing, and advertising technologies. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and products, and generates profit primarily from advertising through its Ad Words program. The company was founded in January 1996 by two Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin and was first incorporated as privately held company on September 4, 1998. Its initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004. Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. This describes what the company actually plans to do on a day-by-day basis. By using its proprietary search technology and other internet based services and products, Google does help to organize information and make it both more accessible and more useful. Larry and Brin first started a simple search engine, Backrub in 1996 which based its search results on the number of “back links” pointing to a given web site. Backrub was unique as it was designed to work in a network of low-end PCs instead of expensive mainframes used by major search engines of the day. By 1998, Larry and Sergey tried to sell their technology but ended up having no takers. They moved out of the dorm and wrote a business plan. With the help of Bechtolsheim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, Google Inc. was born. Thus company thus started, has grown rapidly over the years becoming a market leader in the Search industry. Google runs over one million servers in datacenters around the world and processes over one billion search requests and about twenty-four petabytes of user –generated data every day. This rapid growth has triggered a chain of products, acquisitions and partnerships beyond the company’s core search engine. The company offers productivity software such as Gmail, social networking tools such as Orkut, Google Buzz, browser such as Google Chrome, the Picasa photo organization and editing application, Google Talk instant messaging application, Android mobile phone operating system, YouTube, Blogger and much more. Since its incorporation, Google continues to grow and its stock continues to rise from its initial price of $100/share to a high close of $704.79/share in October 2007. It has since dropped to $573/share as of December 2010, but still remains significantly higher. Google has a current market share of 66 percent in USA and 86 percent globally, thus is clearly a market leader. However, the dominant market position of Google's services has led to criticism of the company over issues including privacy, copyright, and censorship.
