Manufacturing Strategy And New Venture Performance: A Comparison Of Independent And Corporate Ventures In The Biotechnology Industry, Shaker A. Zahra, Gerard George
Manufacturing Strategy And New Venture Performance: A Comparison Of Independent And Corporate Ventures In The Biotechnology Industry, Shaker A. Zahra, Gerard George
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Little empirical research has compared the manufacturing strategies of corporate and independent new ventures. This study explores these differences with data from the young, science-based biotechnology industry, and examines the performance effects of manufacturing strategy variables including scope, competitive thrust, and capabilities. The results show that the corporate and independent biotechnology new ventures pursue significantly different manufacturing strategies, and that different dimensions of manufacturing strategies affect the performance of corporate vs. independent ventures quite differently.

A Simultaneous Model For Innovative Product Category Sales Diffusion And Competitive Dynamics, Namwoon Kim, Ellen Bridges, Rajendra Kumar Srivastava
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Diffusion of innovation has been the focus of an entire stream of research in marketing, and firm entry and exit decisions have been investigated by marketers, strategists, and economists. However, little attention has been paid to the relationship between changing demand and the entry and exit behaviors of competitors in the marketplace. Understanding this relationship is essential in making resource commitments, as profitability of options depends not only on the size and growth of the market, but also on the number of competitors likely to be encountered. This is particularly important in innovative markets, where changes occur rapidly and one …
Failing To Make That Connection:An Analysis Of The Web Reservation Facility In The Top 50 International Hotel Chains, Patrick Horan, Peter O'Connor
Failing To Make That Connection:An Analysis Of The Web Reservation Facility In The Top 50 International Hotel Chains, Patrick Horan, Peter O'Connor
Conference papers
Consumers increasingly expect to be able to locate and book suitable hotel accommodation in a single seamless process over the World Wide Web. By assessing the facilities provided by the top 50 worldwide hotel companies, the current level of sophistication of hotel Web reservations facilities is established. Factors such as the provision of search facilities, on-line availability and rate quotations and security are examined. In addition, a comparison is made between the information obtained over the Web and that available through each company’s call centre in an attempt to assess the accuracy and credibility of data obtained through Web reservations …

Interim Report: Pcc Standing Committee On Automation (Sca). Task Group On Journals In Aggregator Databases, Karen S. Calhoun, John J. Riemer
Karen S Calhoun
Recommends a useful, cost-effective and timely means for automatically creating catalog records to identify e-journals in aggregator databases. The demonstration project was conducted by Karen Calhoun (chair of the SCA; Cornell), John Riemer (chair of the task group; U. Georgia) and Oliver Pesch (EBSCO) on behalf of the PCC SCA task group.

Inventory Reduction And Productivity Growth: Linkages In The Japanese Automotive Industry, Marvin B. Lieberman, Lieven Demeester
Inventory Reduction And Productivity Growth: Linkages In The Japanese Automotive Industry, Marvin B. Lieberman, Lieven Demeester
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
The literature on JIT production suggests a causal link between work-in-progress inventory and manufacturing productivity. Such a connection has been described in numerous case studies but never tested statistically. Historical data for 52 Japanese automotive companies are used to evaluate the inventory-productivity relationship. It is found that firms increased their productivity rank during periods of substantial inventory reduction. More detailed tests suggest that inventory reductions stimulated gains in productivity. On average, each 10% reduction in inventory led to about a 1% gain in labor productivity, with a lag of about one year. Such effects were more immediate for Toyota affiliates, …
Seeing Is Believing; Or Is It? An Emperical Study Of Computer Simulations As Evidence., Robert B. Bennett, Jordan H. Leibman, Richard Fetter
Seeing Is Believing; Or Is It? An Emperical Study Of Computer Simulations As Evidence., Robert B. Bennett, Jordan H. Leibman, Richard Fetter
Scholarship and Professional Work - Business
Relying on the old adage, "seeing is believing," we conclude that the jury may give undue weight to an animated reconstruction of the accident .... It would be an inordinately difficult task for the plaintiff to counter, by cross-examination or otherwise, the impression that a computerized depiction of the accident is necessarily more accurate than an oral description of how the accident occurred. Because the expert's conclusion would be graphically depicted in a moving and animated form, the viewing of the computer simulation might more readily lead the jury to accept the data and premises underlying the defendant's expert's opinion... …

Perceptions Of Web Site Design Characteristics: A Malaysian/Australian Comparison, R. Laupase
Perceptions Of Web Site Design Characteristics: A Malaysian/Australian Comparison, R. Laupase
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The study compared the perceptions of Malaysians, representing Asian culture, and Australians, representing Western culture, for four Web design characteristics (atmospherics, news stories, signs, products and services), as part of the Integrated Internet Marketing model. Under controlled laboratory conditions, two groupings of thirty subjects evaluated eight Web sites in the retail and services sectors located equally in Malaysia and Australia. This study hypothesised that the predominant culture would not be generalised to another culture. Significant differences found for Web design characteristics were typically for one site only and not across all sites. In other words, consistent differences did not eventuate. …

Library Gateway: Project Design, Teams And Cycle Time, Karen S. Calhoun, Zsuzsa Koltay, Edward Weissman
Karen S Calhoun
Librarians at Cornell University Library (CUL) launched the first system-wide integrated gateway to networked resources, services, and library information in January 1998. Using a case study approach, this article examines the design and implementation process that helped the project succeed, rather than focusing on the technology or the vision behind the gateway. The authors identify and discuss critical success factors and the organizational learning experience that moved CUL a step closer to mastering the process of innovation.
