In the early 1990s, the low-end customer premises equipment (CPE) such as telephone, analog modem were the major products of Taiwan communication industry, and the local small to medium size corporations had limited resources for R&D in comparison with those of foreign advanced manufacturers. As the strength of the communication industry signified the critical index of a country’s competitive e...

The paper addresses the issue of control of world technological development under prescribed constraints on the emission of greenhouse gases. We use a stylized mathematical model of the world GDP whose growth leads to the increase of industrial emission provided investment in “cleaning” technology is insufficient. The proportion between investment in industrial technology and investment in “cle...

Engineering designers, industrial designers and architects have different design cultures in their approaches to solving design problems. Traditionally engineering and architectural designers have used a structured approach based upon a ‘concept, embodiment, detail and prototype’ model to design their product. However, industrial designers have tended to use a less structured approach based on ...

nowadays, suppliers in order to maintain and improve their positions against othernational and international suppliers take advantage of their brand equity, but the problem is that industrial suppliers do not know what factors are influencing for development and promotion industrial brand equity and also do not know how to enhance brand equity, to improve brand performance in industrial markets...

It is widely acknowledged that innovation is a key factor for competitiveness and that output growth and productivity depend on the development and diffusion of new technologies (OECD, 1997). However, the innovation process is not linear, but a complex and interactive one, involving business and non-business institutions. Kline and Rosenberg’s (1986) “chain-linked” interactive model is an examp...

This paper presents our method to support the collaborative conceptualisation process focusing our strategy for building consensus in the context of collaborative networks. This new strategy comes from the application of the results and recommendations obtained in an experimental evaluation performed in the scope of a large European project in the area of industrial engineering. The usage of ou...
