A Framework For Mapping And Managing Creativity And Innovation, S Mohan

IIMB Management Review

Organisations and individuals live in an era of constant change. Growth and survival are dependent on coping with these trends and changes. Many organisations suffer from increasing costs, stagnating productivity and shrinking profits, mostly due to lack of original thinking by the management and the employees. In today’s business, organisations face new problems, unique opportunities and the unexpected. The corporate management, apart from coping on a reactive basis, must develop sheer power of new innovative ideas. New products and services, effective marketing strategies and new technologies need to be developed using creative ideas.

A Multinomial Lattice Option Pricing Methodology For Valuing Risky Ventures: Multiple Sources Of Uncertainty, Bardia Kamrad

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The methodology for determining the value of a claim whose payoffs depend upon the stochastic prices of other assets is referred to as Contingent Claims Analysis (CCA). This methodology has now become an industry standard for valuation of financial assets such as options, warrants, bonds, convertibles, and a host of other financial derivative securities. In recent years, techniques of Contingent Claims Analysis (CCA) and stochastic control theory have also been used to value risky ventures characterized by significant operating flexibility. While the advantages of these methods over alternative valuation approaches have been well documented, implementation problems have emerged, primarily due …

Toward Meta Research In Technology Transfer, Liming Zhao, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Technology Transfer (TT) literature has grown exponentially during the last twenty-five years. As in most emerging fields, the literature is quite disjointed. It is especially so in TT because of the cross-disciplinary nature of the field. Although a number of taxonomies have been proposed, most are by and for a specific discipline, e.g., economics or sociology. This paper offers a taxonomic schema which takes into account each of the streams of TT knowledge and classifies the developments efficiently and effectively.

Lasting Improvements In Manufacturing Performance: In Search Of A New Theory, Kasra Ferdows, Arnoud De Meyer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Is there a way to avoid trading off one capability for another in manufacturing? The prevailing wisdom says no. But some manufacturers seem to have been able to defy that: compared to their competitors, they have better quality, are more dependable, respond faster to changing market conditions, and in spite of all that, achieve lower costs. How can this be explained? Our aim here is to provide an explanation. We contend that the nature of the trade-offs among manufacturing capabilities is more complex than has been assumed. Depending on the approach taken for developing each capability, the nature of the …

These players may be involved with a vast array of projects such as undeveloped land, single family and multifamily housing, office building, shopping centers, industrial buildings, hotels and motels, mobile home parks, resorts or recreational complexes. This variety illustrates the …
