A technology evaluation model based on the negotiation between a licensor and a licensee is proposed. This model also considered information asymmetry which decreases the probability of technology transfer between the licensor and the licensee. Factors which affect this decrease and sectors...

Information system project failure is described as a common phenomenon. Escalation occurs when there are continued commitments for a troubled project and has been observed as one pattern of failure. The main purpose of this research was to investigate whether software development risks were the...

This paper propose a systematic approach to setting R&D priorities of emerging technologies in the technology foresight context. The proposed approach consists of two stages with two multiple criteria decision making methods. Firstly, socio-economic cost-benefit analysis based on data...

This paper investigates the interactive nature of relationships between Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) in terms of their technological innovations and diffusion. For the purpose, the United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO) database was used and Lotka-Volterra...

Despite the diversity of national profiles, the relationship between R&D structure and industrial structure, amongst others, is considered a crucial determinant of a country's national innovation system (NIS). This paper aims at investigating the systematic relationship between the two...

This research aims to analyze how a firm's technological diversification strategies influence its financial performances, in terms of 'technological diversification' in broad technology sectors and 'technological concentration' on its own core technology, especially in the case of Korean large...

Based on the notion of the national innovation system (NIS), this paper proposes an exploratory method of measuring inter-industrial knowledge flows. The proposed measures are based on patent analysis and input-output analysis. By employing the Korean case, the knowledge measures are gauged and...

The conceptual approach has contributed significantly to service productivity, but it should be complemented by practical deliverable methods. This paper proposes a systematic framework for improving service productivity by employing the failure mode and effect analysis-based portfolio approach....
