This article dealt with industrial engineering from the perspective of its appropriate incorporation into the organizational structure of a company. Industrial engineering is a relatively new multidisciplinary field of study which combines technical knowledge of engineering disciplines with knowledge of corporate governance. Industrial engineering strives for the most efficient use of the compa...

Modern SAT solvers have experienced a remarkable progress on solving industrial instances. Most of the techniques have been developed after an intensive experimental process. It is believed that these techniques exploit the underlying structure of industrial instances. However, there are few works trying to exactly characterize the main features of this structure. The research community on comp...

During this decade, it has been observed that many realworld graphs, like the web and some social and metabolic networks, have a scale-free structure. These graphs are characterized by a big variability in the arity of nodes, that seems to follow a power-law distribution. This came as a big surprise to researchers steeped in the tradition of classical random networks. SAT instances can also be ...

The formal and informal structures of firms and their external linkages have an important bearing on the rate and direction of innovation. This paper explores the properties of different types of firms with respect to the generation of new technology. Various archetypes are recognized and an effort is made to match organization structure to the type of innovation. The framework is relevant to t...

This paper takes China’s economic data from 1978 to 2020 as a sample, combined with indicators such correlation coefficient, degree of deviation, and employment elasticity, carry out analysis on structure, industrial growth. On this basis, regression model is established characterize the impact structure deviation growth, linkage relationship between growth further explored through vector self-...

In the first part of the chapter, an outline of the evolutionary model of industrial dynamics is presented. The second part deals with a simulation study of the model focused on identification of necessary conditions for emergence of different industrial strictures. Textbooks of traditional economics distinguish four typical industry structures and study them under the names of pure competition...

Emerging countries like China offer low wages, large production capacities and a huge potential market. Large Western companies already took advantage of these opportunities by opening their own factories in China to build up local supply chains and address this new market, but this solution is not adapted to SME having very limited human and financial resources. Therefore new business models m...

We use mean-variance analysis to demonstrate the importance of a hitherto neglected benefit of enticing MNEs to locate in small and medium-sized countries. During the 25 years from 1974 to 1999, over 1000 foreign MNEs have located in Ireland, and they have raised their share of all manufacturing jobs in the country from one-third to one-half. The foreign MNEs tend to operate in high-technology ...

Xinjiang’s industrial sector accounted for more than 80% of the total energy-related carbon emissions. A further understanding of each industrial sub-sector’s carbon intensity is very necessary to make differentiated policies and measures. This paper applied index decomposition analysis and attribution analysis to examine the influencing factors and each sub-sector’s contributions to the change...
