Knowledge Flows And Influence In Online Social Networks: Proposing A Research Agenda, Charles M. Weber, Nitin V. Mayande
Knowledge Flows And Influence In Online Social Networks: Proposing A Research Agenda, Charles M. Weber, Nitin V. Mayande
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Online social networks, which have been defined as aggregated organizations that emerge from the Internet when people carry on public discussions, are increasingly becoming the vehicle of influence in social, political and economic discourse. Yet, despite its increasing importance, the nature of influence in online social networks is not really understood. Practitioners openly admit that they lack the experience to make sense of the phenomenon, and extant theory of influence in networks, which extrapolates from observations of the real world, is demonstrably inadequate when it comes to explaining influence online. The paper introduces a novel approach to analyzing influence online, …
Technology Readiness Levels Improving R&D Management: A Grounded Theory Analysis, Joao Ricardo Lavoie, Tugrul Unsal Daim
Technology Readiness Levels Improving R&D Management: A Grounded Theory Analysis, Joao Ricardo Lavoie, Tugrul Unsal Daim

The strategic management of an organization is well understood and there are several different frameworks and methodologies available to develop and implement strategies that will put the organization on the right track and make it more competitive. Nevertheless, the ability to manage technology and to assess and choose the right technologies to be used and to be invested in is not that well understood and developed. The technology readiness is important to be measured and managed, so that organizations have the chance to make better decisions on which technologies to rely on and when. Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) is a …
Improving The Effectiveness Of Fuzzy Front End Management: Expanding Stage-Gate Methodologies Through Agile, Aruna Bhatia, Juchun Cheng, Sadaf Salek, Vidhi Chokshi, Antonie J. Jetter

More now than ever before, product development has become more challenging and complex with all the globalization around business today. Understanding the requirements of unfamiliar markets can be very challenging for organizations trying to speed-up their innovations. Also with the advent of globalization there is pressure on everyone to perform better and roll out new products in the market. The fuzzy front end process is very dynamic and unstructured process. By taking advantage of the key characteristics of Agile and Stage-Gate model, an Integrated Agile- Stage- Gate Hybrid model was developed which could help in improving the effectiveness of the …
Benchmarking Of Technology Roadmapping Process In Energy Sector: A Literature Review, Chih-Jen Yu, Tugrul Unsal Daim
Benchmarking Of Technology Roadmapping Process In Energy Sector: A Literature Review, Chih-Jen Yu, Tugrul Unsal Daim

Technology roadmapping (TRM) has been recognized as an effective and flexible technology planning tool to assist company, industry, or nations to layout their strategic technology needs and align their vision and strategic objectives. Technology roadmap have been developed into various types and formats, by means of generic or customized processes, to suit specific organizational requirement in different industry settings such as energy sector. However, evaluating the effectiveness of roadmapping process remains a critical issue for roadmap updating and improvement. This paper proposes a benchmark approach based on a literature review to help develop a comparative model with required checklists.
Contextual Differentiation Of Absorptive Capacity: Empirical And Conceptual Development, Marina Dabic, Ernest Vlačić, Tugrul Unsal Daim
Contextual Differentiation Of Absorptive Capacity: Empirical And Conceptual Development, Marina Dabic, Ernest Vlačić, Tugrul Unsal Daim

This paper is focused on the research and operationalization of the absorption capacity in technology driven firms with a particular focus on their technology based innovation performances, which is widely recognised as a means of achieving and maintaining the firms' competitive advantage. Although research in the field of absorption capacity was globally initiated more than two and a half decades ago, the same was not at all the case with Eastern European firms. Considering that, the research objective of this paper arises: what is the level of the absorptive capacity in technology driven Croatian firms and how does it catalyse …

IPC co-classification in conjunction with cross impact analysis has been used to identify technology convergence and its strength over specific period of time. In this study, we tried to monitor the convergence of lighting control strategies which yields energy efficiency from 2009 to 2013. Also, we tried to anticipate the trend of impacts for near future. We take new approach to utilize detailed information including rate of change of co-classified patents, number of patents in each class, and convergence strength between two classes over time and build possible scenarios to anticipate the convergence trend. In our new approach, convergence strength …
Energy Efficiency Measures In Oregon Instructional School Facilities Implemented Under Sb 1149, And Improved Student Performance, Virginia Saraswati, Timothy Hulseman, John Bauer
Energy Efficiency Measures In Oregon Instructional School Facilities Implemented Under Sb 1149, And Improved Student Performance, Virginia Saraswati, Timothy Hulseman, John Bauer

Energy generation, transmission, and distribution, requires a costly infrastructure to meet increasing demand. The success of energy efficiency measures (EEM's) are largely based on cumulative energy and cost savings. This research attempts to add improved student learning to the list of benefits when implementing EEM's in instructional school facilities. Our literature review of current research demonstrates that maximizing natural daylight in the design of school buildings reduces energy consumption, as well as improves student performance [1]. Additionally, EEM's can benefit student performance through direct and indirect environmental improvements that enhance usability, productivity, and comfort [2]. Through statistical analysis of data …

In order to deliver transportation project on time and within budget, project planners and decision makers need to understand the desirable outcomes of projects or programs to make intelligent decisions. In addition, they also need effective tools and techniques to guide those decisions. In development of a guide that identifies available tools and techniques to foster useable and improved practices for key stakeholders of transportation projects, this paper as a preliminary study assessed current utilization of project delivery value improvement programs such as value engineering (VE), risk analysis/management (RA/RM) and constructability reviews (CR) for transportation projects. To determine whether states …
