The strategic use of intellectual property (IP) is crucial for technology-based companies to gain competitive advantage. The recent transformation of the US patent system brings new challenges and opportunities in this arena. In this regard, this study attempts to identify techniques which can help with IP evaluation and selection in the fuzzy front end (FFE) of new product development (NPD) process. This study combines data collection methods such as mining the literature, conducting in-depth interviews, surveying questionnaires, and analyzing cases. This research serves as an analysis of modern literature and identifies a multi-criteria weighted scoring model that can be employed …

Structuring Financial Incentives For Residential Solar Electric Systems, Kevin C. Van Blommestein, Yonghee Cho, Tugrul U. Daim, Paul Sklar
Joseph Cho
This paper introduces a simple methodology to aid in the decision of how to distribute financial incentive funding for residential solar electric systems in order to maximize demand. Incentive funding can be used more effectively if adjusted according to the decrease in price and the increase in demand of solar electric systems. The decision of how to reduce these incentives due to changing annual funds, while increasing or even maintaining the growth of solar electric system demand, is of great interest to policymakers and public benefit funded program administrators. In order to aid in this process, a three step methodology …

Forecasting Mbt Technologies Using Dea And Lr, Yonghee Cho, Timothy R. Anderson
Joseph Cho
First, this paper explores Main Battle Tank (MBT) data set with different
statistical methods in order to decide the most appropriate variables as
reliable yardsticks in applying technology forecasting (TF) using data
envelopment analysis (TFDEA) technique. It then applies TF using DEA
method to forecast MBT technologies. This article attempts to predict
technology development year of MBT commercialised from 1941 to
1994. This article presents the processes of TFDEA in detail and identifies
some issues to search for appropriate input and output variables to
forecast MBT technologies. The purpose of this study is to address some
issues and identify an …

An Industrial Technology Roadmap For Supporting Public R&D Planning, Yonghee Cho
Joseph Cho
Technology roadmap is one of the useful tools for managing R&D planning as well as identifying the future of
technological progress at firms, various levels of government agencies, and other organizations. This study
presents an industrial technology roadmapping process for use in public R&D programs, affecting firms' strategic
behavior under this umbrella. The primary purpose of this paper is to address evolutionary aspects of industrial
technology roadmap for the South Korea case and provide a more advanced framework of public R&D planning.
Since 2000, technology roadmapping has been initiated by the government agency in South Korea, and, more
recently, this …

Developing Strategic Decision Making Process For Product And Service Planning, Yonghee Cho
Joseph Cho
It is imperative to forecast advanced or emerging technologies to aid in decision making on firm's R&D investments and business plan for commercialization efforts. Even though a company must align R&D planning with overall business planning such as manufacturing, sales and marketing, personnel, and finance, systematic management approaches are limited in it based upon the prediction of technological change and speed. This paper aims to provide a decision support tool to aid in strategic service planning and technology development in a firm. The study is to enhance strategic development of service and product with the consideration of emerging technologies. This …
