This study explores how the mechanics of learning paves the way to engineering innovation. Theories related to learning in the new product/service innovation are reviewed from an organizational perspective, behavioral perspective, and engineering perspective. From this, an engineering team’s external interactions for knowledge brokering and internal composition for skill balance are examined fr...

In this paper, we argue that ethnographic techniques such as immersion and simulation, using unfinished versions of products or services, either digital or non-digital ones, conducted in activities which are meaningful for older people (60+), help us include their opinions about and attitudes towards products or services at intermediate stages of their development. We present how we used these ...

We study a rental system where a fixed number of heterogeneous users rent one product at a time from a collection of reusable products. The online DVD rental firm Netflix provides the motivation. We assume that rental durations of each user are independent and identically distributed with finite mean. We study transient behavior in this system following the introduction of a new product that is...

The composition of heterogeneous web services is a key aspect of usability and applicability of web services in different application domains such as business applications, healthcare, and e-government. Current research has developed different techniques to achieve effective composition of web services. Unfortunately, they fail to ensure a perfect match in the composition of web services. This ...

A comprehensive review is given of recent research on developing Web-based manufacturing systems. First, the key issues in developing Web-based manufacturing systems, including collaboration among product development partners, data modelling, system architecture design, and security management, and researches to address these key issues are presented. Then various approaches of developing Web-b...

This chapter provides an overview of the overall approaches and organizational architecture for innovation in large corporations. An overall typology for how companies approach innovation is indicated in figure 1. On the ordinate is the focus of the innovation effort – which may be internal or external. Internal innovation effort refers to the development of products or services which grow the ...

* This work has been partially supported by Special Action (Spanish Ministry Science and Technology)TIC2002-10150-E. AbstractIP based networks still do not have the required degree of reliability required by new multimedia services, achieving such reliability will be crucial in the success or failure of the new Internet generation. Most of existing schemes for QoS routing do not take into consi...

Innovation is the key to growth, without it, most organization would forever be stuck doing the same old things the same old way. New products, new services and new ways of doing business would never emerge. Entrepreneurship activities brings about business innovation with resultant development in enterprises which also serves as a panacea to economic growth in developing countries. Entreprene...
