  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Technology Analysis of Vacuum Cleaning Robots Author: Charoensupyanant, Apisit, Yoon, Byung Sung, Garces, Edwin, Tsai, ShengTe Year: 2013 Though vacuum cleaning robots have been regarded as the most promising product which can penetrate the consumer market as a robotic product, the technology of vacuum cleaning robots seems not to be developed enough to snuggle into customers’ choice yet. And, the Technology development of vacuum cleaning robots depends on several factors driven by technological improvements in order to be adopted in the market. Therefore, this study questions why the technological factors cannot meet consumers' expectation and how much improvements are required for these factors. For these questions, this study explored the problems which customers recognized on vacuum cleaning robots by customers’ voice analysis, and investigated current status and trends of vacuum cleaning robot technology developments. The results showed that some of technologies are not enough matured and developing actively for customers’ expectations.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Boeing 787-Challenges in Managing Innovation Author: Abdulai, Kon, Bergquist, Jeff, Julien, Alex, Hu, Nan, Yilmaz, Selen, Yoon, Byung Sung Year: 2011 The Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft is a revolutionary step forward in passenger aircraft design and production. Boeing developed several innovations that make this aircraft more fuel efficient for the airlines and more comfortable for the passengers. Identified significant innovations include the composite material construction, fuel efficient and noise reducing engines, operational commonality with previous aircraft, improved aerodynamics, and a new approach to supply chain management. All of these innovations required Boeing and its suppliers to develop new technologies and set a new standard for passenger aircraft requirements. The most significant innovation, however, is the integration of these technologies in a single project. Unfortunately, Boeing failed to meet the original expectations for delivery, suffering multiple delays because of challenges associated with these innovations. Some of these innovations were so new, Boeing did not fully account for the complications that would arise. Despite a three year delay and numerous challenges, the 787 has advanced aircraft construction technology into the 21st century and proven Boeing to be an innovative industry leader.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Digital Single-Lens Reflex Camera Technology Forecasting with Technology Forecasting using Data Envelopment Analysis Author: Abdulai, Mimie, Charoensupyan, Apisit, Hu, Nan, Koosawangsri, Rachanida, Wang, Xiaowen, Yoon, Byung Sung Year: 2012 With the advancement of digital image technology, the biggest change in the camera market is that digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) have replaced film type single-lens reflex cameras, which have seen very little development lately. This advancement is reflected in some core technologies of DSLRs such as digital image sensors and electronic shutter mechanisms, which have allowed taking photographs even in the toughest conditions. Therefore, as a disruptive technology, the developments in DSLR technologies are worthy of notice. This paper utilizes technology forecast using data envelopment analysis (TFDEA), which is a quantitative forecasting method. In the study, we use input and output data collected from about a hundred DSLRs of the top five currently dominant brands such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax and Olympus. The anticipation is that we observe changes in DSLR technologies. Final results show future DSLRs’ capabilities and provide insight that TFDEA, as a forecasting method, can be applicable to determine market trends of consumer electronics as well as technologies.
