1.How collaborative innovation networks affect new product performance: Product
innovation capability, process innovation capability, and absorptive capacity
Abstract:
The current literature has investigated the direct relationship between collaborative innovation
networks and new product performance, but the results are inconsistent. This research aims to
explore the role of product and process innovation capabilities as two distinct mechanisms
through which collaborative innovation networks improve new product performance. The study
also examines the contingent effects of absorptive capacity on the relationship between
collaborative innovation networks and the two innovation capability dimensions (i.e. product and
process innovation). Survey data from 258 respondents from the Iranian high and medium
technology manufacturing industries indicates the need for caution when developing
collaborative innovation networks. We found that the effects of collaborative innovation
networks on either product or process innovation capability are significant only in the presence
of absorptive capacity. This finding suggests that the level of collaboration with different
partners can enhance firms' innovation capabilities only if the focal firm's managers have
developed the capacity to scan and acquire external knowledge. Our analyses further indicate
that in the presence of absorptive capacity, only collaboration with research organizations and
competitors have a positive effect on product innovation capability. In the case of process
innovation capability, collaboration with research organizations and suppliers are the most
important factors.

2.Knowledge integration and innovation: Securing new product advantage in high
technology industry
Abstract:
This paper examines the impact of two processes of knowledge management, knowledge
integration and innovation, on new product performance in Chinese high technology industry.
The results show that knowledge integration and innovation exert significant positive effects on
new product performance. The knowledge integration–performance connection is contingent on
marketing and manufacturing competences and another two knowledge management processes:
knowledge acquisition and dissemination. This paper concludes with a discussion of the
implications and limitations of the research.

5.A sustainable innovation in the Italian glass production: LCA and Eco-Care matrix
evaluation
Abstract:
The world glass containers production in 2015 reached 50.63 million of tonnes (MT), and is
estimated to grow by 2022, achieving 65.42 MT. In Italy in 2016 the production was 4.6 MT, by
registering an increment of 3.2% compared with 2015. The glass transformation process occurs
in high temperature ovens, where the fusion stage takes place. The life cycle of this commodity
is correlated to the exploitation of natural resources, as well as to the emissions of different
greenhouse gases (GHG), that have negative effects on natural environment system. In order to
decrease the negative environmental impact of the glass industry we analyse the combination of
recycling methods and process innovation applications in an Italian company. We reported an
environmental and cost analysis of a process innovation implemented by a company operating in
the hollow glass sector in Italy: we scientifically demonstrated that important results in energy
savings could be reached by the implementation of the aspiration system and the re-use of the hot
air produced by the furnace. In this research study we demonstrate that energy savings can be
achieved: The results have been reported according the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
methodology, by using the software Simapro 7.1 and the database ReCiPe 1.07 (2012). The
relationship between cost efficiency, environmental and social benefits have been displayed in
the Eco-Care matrix (ECM), in order to graphically quantify the benefits of a low cost process
innovation. The study wants to demonstrate that the innovation is efficient in economics, social
and environmental perspective, and it could represent a benefit for the companies operating in
the glass industry.

6.Green Supply Chain Management: A Potent Tool for Sustainable Green Marketing
Abstract:
The concept of ‘Greening’ is intrinsically linked to offsetting and abatement of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, resulting largely from fossil fuel–based and energy-intensive industrial
operations and various anthropogenic actions. ‘Kyoto Protocol’ pioneered the concept of
mandatory reduction and compliance of GHG reduction norms applicable for major polluting
nations in the world by 2012 and beyond. This prompted the corporate world to go in for
introduction and commercialisation of ‘clean’ and ‘green technologies’ to mass produce and
market wide-ranging green products. This had in turn led to the concept of Green Marketing. The
concept of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has been a parallel development to push
the green products in an ever-expanding market with huge future potential—given growing
customer consciousness towards eco-friendly green products and changing lifestyles. The article
reviews and analyses different dimensions and facets of GSCM, including the evolution of the
concept, approaches of building the constructs of GSCM, implementation strategy, linkage with
transport systems, ‘Lean’ concept in supply chain management (SCM), green innovations and
sustainability issues of GSCM and Green Logistics strategies for evolving integrated GSCM
system.

7.Implementation of product lifecycle management tools using enterprise integration

engineering and action-research
Abstract:
This paper describes how enterprise integration engineering (EIE) and action-research (A-R) can
be used to support the implementation of product lifecycle management (PLM) tools. The EIE
concept is used to align the corporate strategies with the use of PLM technologies in order to
impact the key performance indicators (KPIs) in the enterprise. An EIE reference framework is
proposed to define strategies, evaluate performance measures, design/re-design processes and
establish the enabling tools and technologies to support the enterprise strategies, while A-R is
proposed to guide the PLM tools implementation at various stages of the product development
process. An industrial application is described to demonstrate the benefits of applying EIE, A-R
and PLM in an enterprise.

8.DEEP: the product roadmap maturity model: a method for assessing the product road
mapping capabilities of organizations
Abstract:
Through increasing market dynamics, rapidly evolving technologies and shifting user
expectations coupled with the adoption of lean and agile practices, companies are struggling with
their ability to provide reliable product roadmaps by applying traditional approaches. Currently,
most companies are seeking opportunities to improve their product roadmapping practices. As a
first challenge they have to assess their current product roadmapping capabilities in order to
better understand how to improve their practices and how to switch to a new approach. The aim
of this article is to provide an initial maturity model for product roadmapping practices that is
especially suited for assessing the roadmapping capabilities of companies operating in dynamic
and uncertain market environments. Based on interviews with 15 experts from 13 various
companies the current state of practice regarding product roadmapping was identified.
Afterwards, the model development was conducted in the context of expert workshops with the
Robert Bosch GmbH and researchers. The study results in the so-called DEEP 1.0 product
roadmap maturity model which allows companies to conduct a self-assessment of their product
roadmapping practice.

9.Linkages between firm innovation strategy, suppliers, product innovation, and business
performance: Insights from resource dependence theory
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to use resource dependence theory to hypothesize that a buyer’s
innovation strategy enhances supplier innovation focus and a buyer-supplier relationship that
supports product innovation. These in turn positively impact buyer product innovation outcomes
and business performance. Moreover, it is argued that the buyer-supplier relationship positively
moderates the impact of supplier innovation focus on product innovation.

10.Impact of supply chain risk on agility performance: Mediating role of supply chain
integration
Abstract:
Supply chain literature highlights the importance of agility performance for firms facing supply
chain risk. However, the literature explaining the ways in which companies facing supply chain
risk organize the key elements of their supply chain to enhance agility performance provides
space for more research. We use dynamic capabilities view to explain why supply chain risk may
motivate companies to integrate their supply chain to enhance agility performance. Structural
equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses using data of 770 manufacturing companies
obtained from the sixth version of International Manufacturing Strategy Survey. Empirical
examination provides evidence that (a) a firm's supply chain risk has positive association with
supplier and customer integration, (b) supplier, internal, and customer integration have positive
impact on agility performance, though the impact of internal integration is weak, (c) supplier and
customer integration mediate the relationship between a firm's supply chain risk and agility
performance, and (d) supplier and customer integration mediate the relationship between internal
integration and agility performance. The findings of this paper suggest that companies cope with
supply chain risk by using integrative practices with suppliers and customers that enhance agility
performance. Internal integration is the foundation for building up supplier and customer
integration for agility performance. Future research may examine these relationships over time
and in different industries and contexts.

11.Innovation strategy and financial performance in manufacturing companies: an

empirical study
Abstract:
An innovation strategy for the manufacturing function covers four areas: a firm's desired
innovation leadership orientation (i.e., being a leader versus being a follower), its level of
emphasis on process and product innovation, its use of internal and external sources of
innovations, and its intensity of investment in innovation. We examine two models of the
association between manufacturing companies' innovation strategy and their financial
performance. The first examines the variations in company financial performance as a function
of the simultaneous effect of the dimensions of innovation strategy. The second is a sequential
model that suggests a causal sequence among the dimensions of innovation strategy that may
lead to higher performance. We used data from a sample of 149 manufacturing companies to test
the models. The results (1) support the importance of innovation strategy as a determinant of
company financial performance, (2) suggest that both models are appropriate for examining the
associations between the dimensions of innovation strategy and company performance, and (3)
show that the sequential model provides additional insights into the indirect contribution of the
individual dimensions of innovation strategy to company performance. Finally, we discuss the
implications of these results for managers.

12.Integrated Innovative Biotechnology for Optimization of Environmental Bioprocesses

and a Green Economy
Abstract:
A systematic approach to sustainable management of natural resources incorporates integration
of innovative biotechnologies and eco-engineering. Here we review complementary eco-
innovations for sustainable development in different regions. One of the newer biotechnologies
is laser photostimulation of different species of plants and microorganisms to increase their
adaptability to xenobiotics in soil, air, and water. Empirically selected algorithms of laser
irradiation significantly increase biodegradation of hydrocarbons, phytoremediation of trace
metals by willow Salix sp., elephant grass Miscanthus x giganteus, Virginian mallow Sida
hermaphrodita, and to increase tolerance of different species of plants to petrochemical
pollutants and efficiency of reclamation of contaminated areas and tolerance to salinity of soil
and suboptimal temperatures as well as water deficiency. This biotechnology is also useful for
biomass enhancement and bio-energy production under suboptimal conditions for more
efficient vegetative multiplication of some vegetables and development of sustainable
agriculture, forestry, protection of the landscape, and biodiversity. Integration of
transdisciplinary cooperation and application of complementary biotechnologies and
innovative methods of environmental pollutant bioremediation (such as wastewater treatment)
and reclamation, supported by the implementation of a neural network, can optimize
bioprocesses that are useful for a better quality of life, globally. Long-term research-
developing studies are supplemented by problem-solving training and case studies in different
regions (including ecotourism, recreation, and promotion of ecological culture), long distance
education and life-long education for the common action of experts and knowledge-based
society, promoting sustainable development that is based on integrated biological sciences and
sustainable models of consumption.

13.An Integrated Approach to Educating Professionals for Careers in Innovation
Abstract:
There is an increasing realization of the difficulties professionals in innovation-related jobs face
in bridging the interface of technology and business. Further, the use of technology for business
innovation increasingly involves technologies transferred across businesses or from universities
to industry, either through licensing or engagement of entrepreneurial enterprises, requiring
coordination of efforts by inventors, business, and legal professionals. Recent studies in
technology entrepreneurship recommend integrated approaches to educating students to operate
in this space. We discuss the benefits and challenges of integrated approaches to graduate
education in technology entrepreneurship in the context of an NSF-sponsored program that teams
science and engineering PhD students with law and MBA students. The curriculum focuses on
the technical, legal, and business issues involved with moving fundamental research to the
marketplace. We draw on program assessment data, which includes pre- and post-surveys and a
control group. We find significant and positive effects of the program on student perceptions of
the multidisciplinary capabilities needed to operate in a technological business environment.

14.Applying Integrated R&D Process in Process Innovation Research: Estimating the

Impact of a Process Change in Automotive ECU Development on Organizational Flexibility
and Product Quality
Abstract:
Japanese automobile manufacturers have actively activated activities to incorporate highly

intelligent function to enhance their competitiveness. As part of this policy Japanese automobile
manufacturers have required the suppliers of electrical control units (ECUs) to coordinate their
software development activities to improve the effectiveness and stability of in-vehicle LAN
network system which should offer high intelligent function. The purpose of the paper is to
evaluate the impacts of a change in the process of software development from the traditional
sequential approach to the one which is more integrated and adaptive to changes in the course of
optimization. We conduct regression analyses (OLS and Tobit) utilizing project management
data collected from an American automotive parts supplier over the six years between January 1,
2003 and December 31, 2008. Our empirical analysis can be summarized by three key findings.
First, the adoption of the new integrated R&D process, it increased the frequency of specification
changes that presumably helped to improve the effectiveness and stability of in-vehicle LAN
network system. Second, the new process significantly raised number of flaws caught during the
development, thus improved product quality was observed after the shipment. Third, the
introduction of the new process lowered productivity and raised the wage cost substantially.
Additional implication for the role of firm-specific experience is also discussed.

15.Successful integration of R&D functions after acquisitions: An exploratory empirical

study
Abstract:
business relatedness of buyer and target) deter-mine the integration success of R&D functions
after a takeover? Are acquisition management interventions (i.e., the way in which the
integration process is man-aged) the key levers shaping integration success of R&D functions
after a change in corporate ownership? Little non-anecdotal empirical data are available to
answer these questions. Therefore, they were addressed with a sample of 92 acquisitions between
German firms in 1988. Overall, use of management interventions which were designed to
promote learning opportunities and reduce uncertainty for acquired employees (e.g., small group
meetings to exchange information) but also degree of centralization of strategic R&D decisions
in the hands of the acquirer were significantly positively related to integration level of R&D
functions of both firms after an acquisition. With the exception of relative size of acquiree,
strategic acquisition context characteristics were not directly related to R&D integration success.
These characteristics may not be as important in shaping R&D integration success as
management practitioners and scholars have thought.

18.Strategic Product Development

Abstract:
Product strategists are faced with difficult, but challenging tasks when it comes to product
innovation, concept development and product commercialization. Product innovation must take
place in order to create products and services that potential customers do not yet know they
need. Different, but integrated, standards are needed in the pursuit of building capable
processes for delivering these products. Strategic product development is an approach that uses
a number of industry standards in building an organization capable of delivering commercially
successful products. This paper presents an overview of the integrated approach that ties many
concepts together in assisting the product development team to deliver world-class software
products. Rubico Technologies is used as a case study to show how the concepts were
implemented.

19.Empirical research on supply chain management: A critical review and

recommendations
Abstract:
Despite the growing interest in supply chain management (SCM), our understanding of the
subject issue is still limited, largely due to inadequate attention being placed to theory building.
To address this problem, this paper highlights some major weaknesses of the extant literature
with respect to the conceptualization, operationalization, and modelling of SCM, identifies
potential causes underlying these shortcomings, and gives some recommendations to improve
theory development in this area. Specifically, it demonstrates that (1) the SCM construct has
been perceived narrowly from the perspective of a particular traditional function of a firm; (2)
the construct validity is threatened due to inadequate pre-operational explication of the content
domain, among other operationalization problems; and (3) the dominant conceptual SCM models
focus mainly on the practices-performance relationship, overlooking the context-practices
relationship.

20.Development and validation of an integrated supply chain operational performance

model for Indian automobile industry
Abstract:
Supply chain operational performance (SCOP) is a vital tool used to improve business
performance. This study aims to investigate measurement, development and validation of a
proposed SCOP model using structural equation modelling (SEM). It conceptualises and
develops four vital dimensions of SCOP. Literature review reveals information integration (II),
industry characteristics (IC), supplier initiative (SI) and supply chain collaborative advantage
(SCCA). Data was collected from 306 operations and supply chain heads from the auto-sector.
Results prove that II, SI, IC and SCCA were found to have positive effects on SCOP with
significant second order construct relationships. The instrument will help supply chain in
flexibility, cost control and improved quality.

21.Growth effects of integration among unequal countries
Abstract:
This paper extends previous analyses of Romer (1990), Rivera-Batiz and Romer (1991a), and
Rivera-Batiz and Xie (1993) by examining the influence of dissimilarities between countries on
growth effects of integration. It is shown that different rates of time preference and different
productivity parameters of human capital in R&D play an important role in determining output
growth, intertemporal consumption structure and human capital allocation. The results point to
beneficial effects of integration even for countries that experience a decline in R&D activity as a
consequence of the integration process. The results can be applied to the integration within
NAFTA since the U.S., Canada, and Mexico represent relatively unequal countries. According to
the analysis, even Mexico can benefit from this integration although R&D activities may decline
there. Likewise, a very innovative country like the U.S. can benefit from integration with a less
innovative partner country.

22.Performance Implications of the Environment-Strategy Coalignment in the Context of

Integrated Global Industries
Abstract:
This research empirically examines the contingency theory of strategic management, which
posits a positive impact of the environment-strategy coalignment on business performance, in the
context of the integrated global industry. A few previous studies have attempted, either directly
or indirectly, to test the theory in the international context, but their findings are conflicting with
one another and, more notably, are mostly inconsistent with the theory, thereby suggesting that
the theory may not hold in the international context. However, based on data from U.S.
multinational businesses in integrated global manufacturing industries, we find strong evidence
to support for the theory in the international context. The results of our study indicate that
multinational businesses that align their strategy more closely with their international industry
environment outperform those that do not do so.

23.The new industrial revolution
Abstract:
This article outlines a new framework for understanding the current period of global
restructuring, focusing on the relationship between technological change and organizational
change. After reviewing the major approaches in the debate over future pathways to
industrialization, a new perspective for understanding the ‘new industrial revolution’ is
presented. At the core of this revolution is the emergence of a series of powerful new industrial
technologies, which is giving rise to new forces of production and a concomitant transformation
in production organization. A new shop floor is emerging, in which innovation and production,
intellectual and manual labour are increasingly integrated. As this process of industrial
restructuring evolves, success will depend on organizational forms which effectively harness and
mobilize collective intelligence.

24.The effect on firms' Productivity of accessibility. The Spanish manufacturing sector
Abstract:
This paper evaluates the impact of accessibility on the productivity of Spanish manufacturing
firms. We suggest the use of accessibility indicators to workers and commodities, integrating
transport, land use, and individual components in their measurement, and computing real
distances or travelling times using the Spanish full road network. The estimation is carried out in
two steps. In the first one we estimate almost a hundred production functions using a panel of
155,937 firms along the 1999-2009 period from SABI database, applying Levinsohn and Petrin
technique. From these estimations we derive the Total Factor Productivity function for year
2009, which is then explained in the second estimation step as a function of the accessibility
indicators and additional control variables. Results evidence the crucial role of the accessibility
to commodities, and a lesser but significant effect of workers’ accessibility on firms’
productivity.

25.Organizational Change, Learning and the Usage of Space: the Case of Samsung Electronics
Company
Abstract:
This paper aims to explore organizational change and learning involving spatial processes and
outcomes. In particular, it focuses on the context specific nature of corporate learning and
organizational change that can be found in the case of a large Korean firm facing radical economic
change. Drawing on the case study of a large Korean firm, the Samsung Electronics Company, three
main claims can be followed. First, territorial sources of learning influence the way in which the firm
makes use of space/place. Second, corporate learning practices, however, are not based merely on
specific localized sources or geographical proximity but on bringing together the local and the global
sources by harnessing the properties of relational proximities. It reveals that firms are concerned less
on specializing specific local knowledge than promoting organizational knowledge and competences
by integrating a variety of knowledge distributed in and out of the boundaries of the firm. Finally, to
learn and innovate in a continual basis, firms would attempt to combine codified knowledge with tacit
knowledge.

26.The combined effects of internal and external supply chain integration on product
innovation
Abstract:
Two combined effects balanced integration and complementary integration—are examined.
Based on ambidexterity theory, the combined effects of II and EI are theorized to facilitate
exploration and exploitation of external and internal knowledge, and subsequently improve
product innovation. Our analysis of survey data from the Thai automotive industry ascertains that
EI and complementary integration are positively associated with product innovation, but II and
balanced integration are not associated with product innovation. This research is the first to
provide novel insights into how exploration and exploitation of external and internal knowledge
can be facilitated by internal and external integrations, and their complementary effects on
product innovation, which was previously less understood. Our findings provide managerial
insights for firms involved in supply chain integration implementation.

27.Identifying the antecedents of internal integration in improving green product

innovation
Abstract:
Business managers have been investing more and more on green product innovation to deal with
the increasing concerns regarding the potential negative environmental impacts of various
business activities. Green product innovation has been extensively studied in the literature
theoretically and empirically. Given limited empirical research exists in exploring underlying
mechanisms and related drivers that contribute green product innovation. This study investigates
the critical role of internal integration in improving green product innovation and identifies the
antecedents of internal integration. Based on an organisational learning perspective, this study
proposes a conceptual framework that specifies the relationship regarding the antecedents of
internal integration and its impact on green product innovation. Using survey data from 231
companies in China, this study empirically tests the relationships specified in the conceptual
framework. Managerial implications can be drawn from this study on the ways to increase green
production innovation indirectly through learning orientation, open-mindedness and vision
sharing.

28.Investigation of Impact of Supply Chain Integration on Product Innovation and Quality
Abstract:
This paper addresses integration issues in supply chain, and tries to investigate how different
aspects of integration are linked with some product features. Integration in this study is
interpreted as "internal", "upstream" (supply), and "downstream" (demand). Two product
features which are considered in this study are "product innovation" and "product quality". To
examine the relationships between supply chain integrations – as mentioned above, and product
features, this research follows the survey method in automotive industry.
The results imply that comparing to internal and supply chain downstream integrations supply
chain upstream integration has a higher impact on product quality. It is also found that the
influence of supply chain downstream integration on product innovation is greater than other
variables. In brief, this study mainly tackles the importance of specific level of supply chain
integrations and its effects on two product features.

29.The impact of internal integration and relationship commitment on external integration

Abstract:
Supply chain integration (SCI) among internal functions within a company, and external trading
partners within a supply chain, has received increasing attention from academicians and
practitioners in recent years. SCI consists of internal integration of different functions within a
company and external integration with trading partners. While both supply chain internal and
external integration have been studied extensively, our understanding of what influences SCI and
the relationship between internal and external integration is still very limited. This paper argues
that external integration with customers and suppliers is simultaneously influenced by internal
integration and relationship commitment to customers and suppliers. Internal integration enables
external integration because organizations must first develop internal integration capabilities
through system-, data-, and process-integration, before they can engage in meaningful external
integration. At the same time, before external integration can be successfully implemented,
organizations must have a willingness to integrate with external supply chain partners, which is
demonstrated by their relationship commitment.

30.Impact of market orientation, learning orientation, and supply chain integration on

product innovation
Abstract:
In this research, we have identified and tested important drivers of product innovation. Our study
has analysed two important drivers: organisational orientation (learning and market) and SCI
[supply chain integration η internal integration and external integration (supplier and customer)].
The study was conducted among 202 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The structural
model was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). The key findings of our research
are: 1) learning orientation and market orientation synergistically drive internal integration and
customer integration; 2) internal integration drives external integration and product innovation;
3) customer integration drives supplier integration and product innovation; 4) internal integration
mediates the relationship between organizational orientation and product innovation; 5) customer
integration mediates the relationship between organizational orientation and product innovation.
This research has been able to explain the process of product innovation by analyzing the direct
and indirect effects of market and learning orientations and SCI.

manufacturing companies
Abstract:
Scholars, managers, and policy makers are increasingly interested in the potential of sterilization
to enhance the innovation capabilities for manufacturing companies, among others.
Collaboration within the supply chain appears to play a relevant role in the transition to service
provision because of its relational character. Combining these elements in the same model, this
study sheds light on the relationship between innovation capabilities and integration levels, both
internally and externally with customers and suppliers, considering the level of sterilization in
different firms. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) on a sample
of Basque manufacturing companies, this study reveals significant differences between
manufacturing companies with low- and high-level services regarding the impact of customer
integration on product innovation capability. The same result was not found for other supply
chain dimensions—internal and supplier integration. These findings can be related to the
prominent role of customer relationships and contacts in developing innovation capabilities in
manufacturers’ services considered by some previous research. In addition, by analyzing the
different dimensions of supply chain integration separately, internal integration was found to be
an enabler of external integration.

32.Linking green customer and supplier integration with green innovation performance:
The role of internal integration
Abstract:
Although green customer and supplier integration have gained much attention, how it affects
green innovation performance is still unclear. This study examines the direct and interaction
effects of green customer and supplier integration on green innovation performance and the
moderating effect of internal integration, using data from 176 Chinese manufacturing firms. The
results reveal that green customer integration, green supplier integration, and their interaction are
all positively related to green innovation performance. In addition, internal integration moderates
the relationship between green customer integration and green innovation performance, but does
not moderate the relationship between green supplier integration and green innovation
performance. Further analysis indicate that the effects of interaction term on green innovation
performance and the moderating effects of internal integration on the relationship between green
supplier integration and green innovation performance are significantly different across different
firm sizes, providing useful insights for firms. This study provides novel insights for making
environmental policies.

33.Internal and External Integration for Product Development: The Contingency Effects of
Uncertainty, Equivocality, and Platform Strategy
Abstract:
Effective product development requires firms to unify internal and external participants. As
companies attempt to create this integrated environment, two important questions emerge. Does
a high level of internal integration lead to a higher level of external integration? In the context of
product development, this study considers whether internal integration in the form of concurrent
engineering practices affects the level of external integration as manifested by customer
integration, supplier product integration, and supplier process integration. External integration, in
turn, may influence competitive capabilities, namely product innovation performance and quality
performance. Second, using contingency theory, do certain contextual variables moderate the
linkages between integration strategy (external and internal) and performance? Specifically, this
study considers whether uncertainty, equivocality, and platform development strategy change the
relationships among internal integration, external integration, and competitive capabilities. Data
collected from 244 manufacturing firms across several industries were used to test these research
questions. The results indicate that both internal and external integration positively influence
product innovation and quality and ultimately, profitability. With respect to contingency effects,
the results indicate that equivocality moderates the relationships between integration and
performance.

34.Integrating Operations and Marketing Perspectives of Product Innovation: The

Influence of Organizational Process Factors and Capabilities on Development Performance
Abstract:
This paper adopts a multidisciplinary view of innovation by integrating operations and marketing
perspectives of product development. The conceptual framework builds on the resource-based
view of the firm and organizational information-processing theory to characterize relationships
among organizational process factors, product development capabilities, critical uncertainties,
and operational/market performance in product development projects. Data from a cross-
sectional sample of 120 completed development projects for assembled goods is analyzed via a
two-stage hierarchical moderated regression approach. The findings show that: (1) the
organizational process factors studied are associated with achievement of operational outcome
targets for product quality, unit cost, and time-to-market; (2) achievement of operational
outcomes aids the achievement of market outcomes, in turn suggesting that development
capabilities are indeed valuable firm resources; and (3) these relationships are robust under
conditions of technological, market, and environmental uncertainty. This article provides
practical insight into how product development projects can be better managed for operational
and market success. Additionally, this article sets a theoretical and empirical basis for future
research on the influence of organizational process factors and capabilities on diverse product-
innovation outcomes.

36.Achieving Sustainable Development by Collaborating in Green Product Innovation

Abstract:
Collaboration in green product innovation (GPI) is becoming increasingly important, and
research on such innovation has grown in recent years. This study reviews literature on external
collaborations in GPI to investigate drivers, inter-organizational factors and intra-organizational
factors for such collaborations. The review includes a total of 67 papers. Survey studies and case
studies are the methodologies applied most in the reviewed papers. The most common
collaborators are suppliers and customers. Drivers include economic factors, regulations,
customer demand, competitiveness, and firm performance. Numerous inter-organizational
collaboration factors are presented and summarized in terms of partner selection, relationship
management, knowledge access and agreements. Intra-organizational factors mainly concern
cross-functional collaboration, capabilities and internal practices. Implications for policy and
practitioners are presented. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

37.Effects of Supplier and Customer Integration on Product Innovation and Performance:

Empirical Evidence in Hong Kong Manufacturers
Abstract:
While the beneficial impacts of supplier and customer integration are generally acknowledged,
very few empirical research studies have examined how an organization can achieve better
product performance through product innovation enhanced by such integration. This paper thus
examines the impact of key supplier and customer integration processes (i.e., information sharing
and product codevelopment with supplier and customer, respectively) on product innovation as
well as their impact on product performance. It contributes to existing literature by asking how
such integration activities affect product innovation and performance in both direct and indirect
ways. After surveying 251 manufacturers in Hong Kong, this study tested the relationships
among information sharing, product codevelopment, product innovativeness, and performance
with three control variables (i.e., company size, type of industry, and market certainty).
Structural equation modeling with correlation and t-tests was used to test the hypothesized
research model. The findings indicate a direct, positive relationship between supplier and
customer integration and product performance. This study verifies that sharing information with
suppliers and product codevelopment with customers directly improves product performance. In
addition, this study empirically examines the indirect effects of supplier and customer integration
processes on product performance, mediated by innovation.

38.Innovation-oriented supply chain integration for combined competitiveness and firm
performance
Abstract:
This study examined the combined impact of an innovation orientation, supply chain integration
(customer integration, supplier integration, and internal integration), and combinative
competitive capabilities on firm performance. A total of 480 questionnaires were collected from
companies in the Taiwanese electronics industry. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was
employed to analyze the collected data. An innovation orientation was shown to positively affect
supply chain integration, combinative competitive capabilities, and firm performance. Supply
chain integration (in particular, supplier integration and internal integration) had a mediation
effect on innovation orientation and business performance, whereas combinative competitive
capabilities had a mediation effect on supply chain integration and firm performance. The results
provide empirical support for the notion that an innovation orientation affects supply chain
integration and firm performance. Drawing from previous studies on resource dependence
theory, this study indicates how innovation orientation assists firms in integrating their supply
chains and realizing the potential of the supply chain management mechanism. This paper
presents the interrelatedness of innovation orientation, supply chain integration, combinative
competitive capabilities, and firm performance.

40.The Impact of Organizational Integration and Product Development Proficiency on

Market Success
Abstract:
This research investigates three major hypotheses important to new product market success: the
greater organizational integration during the development of new products, the greater the
market success; the greater organizational integration during the development of new products,
the greater new product development proficiency; and the greater new product development
proficiency, the greater the market success. “Organizational integration” is defined as the degree
of cooperation and communication between internal and external NPD “support” groups and
NPD teams. “NPD process proficiency” is defined as how well new product development stages
and the new product development process is performed. “New product market success” is
represented by four measures: the degree to which profits and sales exceeded or fell short of
what was expected, and the degree to which the new product was perceived to exceed or fall
short of expectations related to entering existing and new markets. Information was obtained
concerning the most and least successful new products of U.S. firms in the medical instruments,
the electrical equipment, and the heavy construction equipment industries.

41.The impact of supply chain integration on performance: A contingency and
configuration approach
Abstract:
This study extends the developing body of literature on supply chain integration (SCI), which is
the degree to which a manufacturer strategically collaborates with its supply chain partners and
collaboratively manages intra- and inter-organizational processes, in order to achieve effective
and efficient flows of products and services, information, money and decisions, to provide
maximum value to the customer. The previous research is inconsistent in its findings about the
relationship between SCI and performance. We attribute this inconsistency to incomplete
definitions of SCI, in particular, the tendency to focus on customer and supplier integration only,
excluding the important central link of internal integration. We study the relationship between
three dimensions of SCI, operational and business performance, from both a contingency and a
configuration perspective. In applying the contingency approach, hierarchical regression was
used to determine the impact of individual SCI dimensions (customer, supplier and internal
integration) and their interactions on performance. In the configuration approach, cluster analysis
was used to develop patterns of SCI, which were analyzed in terms of SCI strength and balance.

42.Mainstreaming Green Product Innovation: Why and How Companies Integrate
Environmental Sustainability
Abstract:
Green product innovation has been recognized as one of the key factors to achieve growth,
environmental sustainability, and a better quality of life. Understanding green product innovation
because of interaction between innovation and sustainability has become a strategic priority for
theory and practice. This article investigates green product innovation by means of a multiple
case study analysis of 12 small to medium size manufacturing companies based in Italy and
Canada. First, we propose a conceptual framework that presents three key environmental
dimensions of green product innovation such as energy minimization, materials reduction, and
pollution prevention as identified in the life cycle phases of products. Based on insights gained
from in-depth interviews, we discuss firms’ motivations to develop green products,
environmental policies and targets for products, different dimensions of green product
innovation, and challenges faced during developing and marketing of green products. Results
from the study are then synthesized and integrated in a toolbox that sheds light on various
aspects of green product innovation and provides solutions to challenges and risks that are faced
by firms. Finally, implications for managers, academia and public policy makers are discussed.

43.The effects of internal versus external integration practices on time-based performance
and overall firm performance
Abstract:
This paper examines the effects of integration practices on time-based performance and on
overall firm performance (financial and market share). Integration practices are grouped into two
categories: (1) external strategic design integration, which reaches across firm boundaries to
involve suppliers and customers and (2) internal design-process integration, which comprises
more tactically oriented, integration practices that match design requirements and process
capabilities. First, regression results show that both internal and external integration are related
to time-based performance, which in turn is related to firm performance. Thus,
two indirect routes to firm performance are identified. Second, hierarchical regression reveals
that integration directly affects firm performance even after time-based performance is accounted
for. Finally, we found that the interaction of internal and external integration is significantly
related to both market share and financial performance (after controlling for all other effects).
This latter result suggests that the joint use of external and internal integration practices has a
synergistic effect on firm performance.

46.A Model of Organizational Integration, Implementation Effort, and Performance
Abstract:
The notion of integration is central to the understanding of organizations in general as well as of
contemporary phenomena such as e-commerce, virtual organizations, virtual teams, and
enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. Yet, the concept of integration is ill-defined
in the literature, and the impact of achieving high levels of integration is not well understood.
The present paper addresses these issues. Drawing on the literature of several fields, this paper
proposes the concept of organizational integration (OI), which is defined as the extent to which
distinct and interdependent organizational components constitute a unified whole. Six types of
OI are identified: two intraorganizational OI (internal-operational, internal-functional) and four
interorganizational OI (external-operational-forward, external-operational-backward, external-
operational-lateral, and external-functional). This paper then presents a model and develops 14
propositions to predict (1) the effort needed to implement different types of OI, (2) the impact
different types of OI will have on organizational performance, and (3) how six factors
(interdependence, barriers to OI, mechanisms for achieving OI, environmental turbulence,
complexity reduction mechanisms, and organizational configurations) influence the relationship
between OI types, implementation effort, and organizational performance. The OI framework
and model are then used to develop 14 propositions for ERP implementation research and to
explain the findings of recent research on integration.

47.New Product Development Processes and New Product Profitability: Exploring the
Mediating Role of Speed to Market and Product Quality
Abstract:
In new product development, faster is not always better. Conceptually, being faster to market
should improve financial performance by improving product quality and reducing development
expenses. Empirical support is mixed, however, demonstrating that higher speed to market
exhibits an inverted U-shaped relationship with product profitability. Conventional wisdom and
empirical research suggest managers make speed to market–product quality–development
expense trade-offs.
A particular concern regarding speed to market is that extreme speed may jeopardize product
quality. Some researchers suggest that speed to market improves product quality while others
suggest firms must balance both speed to market and product quality. Also, shorter lead times
may be associated with reduced development expenses, but empirical evidence is conflicting.
This research attempts to reconcile conflicting results regarding the speed to market–product
quality relationship, their joint impact on product profitability, and their mediation role in the
effects of development expenses and cross-functional integration on product profitability. Partial
least squares (PLS) is used to analyze multiplexed archival and survey data collected from NPD
managers for 1115 different NPD projects in several firms. The results support the hypothesized
equations, explaining 27% of speed to market variance, 35% of product quality variance, and
45% of product profitability variance.

48.Revisiting the arcs of integration: Cross-validations and extensions

Abstract:
This paper revisits Frohlich and Westbrook's arcs of integration concept [Arcs of integration: an
international study of supply chain strategies. Journal of Operations Management 2001, 19 (2)
pp. 185–200]. Using survey responses from 403 supply chain professionals, we compare the arcs
of integration group memberships generated with our sample to the original study, rationalize the
classification scheme, and assess the impact of supply chain integration strategies on quality,
delivery, flexibility and cost performance. In doing so we cross-validate Frohlich and
Westbrook's framework with a more recent and broader sample of data utilizing multi-
dimensional performance measures collected from supply chain managers. We ground these
relationships in the relational and resource-based views of the firm. We also extend Frohlich and
Westbrook's study by investigating the moderating role of internal integration on the
relationships between arcs of integration and performance. In accordance with information
processing theory, the results indicate that internal integration strengthens the positive impacts of
external integration on both delivery and flexibility performance. However, the theory is not
supported for either quality or cost performance. Overall, our study confirms and extends the
work of Frohlich and Westbrook, augments theories used to describe supply chain integration
efforts, and provides practical implications for managers.

49.Customer and Supplier Collaboration in Green Product Innovation: External and

Internal Capabilities
Abstract:
Firms collaborate in green product innovation to develop products with less environmental
impact. These products typically use less energy, have lower emissions and incorporate more
environmentally friendly materials. In an industrial setting, firms often collaborate along the
supply chain with customers and suppliers. This paper focuses on external and internal
capabilities that firms need when collaborating in green product innovation. The paper builds on
data from five large industrial firms in ten case studies, in which these firms collaborate with
customers and suppliers to innovate green products to an industrial market. External and internal
capabilities are investigated. The study points to the importance of finding a suitable partner.
Partners need to have environmental expertise and contribute knowledge or technology that is
new to the firm. Firms need to combine relational capabilities, such as trust, with contractual
agreements in collaborative innovations. The findings point to the importance of knowledge
management with the partner as well as internally in the firm. The study shows that no partner
collaboration operates in isolation but is situated in a network context. Copyright © 2018 John

Abstract:
Innovation is the fuel for continuous improvement; it is the exploitation of the opportunity to
create market differentiation & competitive advantage. Innovationʼs centrality and importance in
international operations have been a subject of enduring debate in the age of globalisation. There
are two significant changes on the business environment happening in these days which will
change the business environment rapidly, and those two are One Belt, One Road (OBOR) and
the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in the world. Sri Lanka as a small island nation will have
an impact on this business environment change. Our neighbouring countries such as India
Thailand has started working on this revaluation to upgrade their countries to suit the
requirement for the exponentially growing business world. Organisations need to continuously
respond to changing market pressures to ensure customer satisfaction is achieved to create
growth for the business. In its broadest sense, Innovation includes any business change that
results in the new value created. Searching for opportunities to create new value from which we
can build sustainable growth is an on-going business challenge, one that is made harder by
competitors who are striving for their market share.

51.Effects of green supply chain integration and green innovation on environmental and
cost performance
Abstract:
This paper argues that mechanisms such as information sharing, and collaboration used in green
supply chain integration (GSCI) to improve information processing capacity can reduce
uncertain outcomes of green product and process innovation. Based on data from a survey of
Chinese (Hong Kong) firms, the paper tests whether the three dimensions of GSCI (green
internal, customer and supplier integration) improve environmental performance and cost
reduction by facilitating green product and process innovation. The results show that green
customer integration improves cost and environmental performance through green process
innovation (not green product innovation). Both green product and process innovations are
facilitated by green customer integration (not green supplier integration), while both green
customer and supplier integration significantly depend on green internal integration. These
suggest that the distinctive information processing capacity created by green internal and
customer integration can facilitate the green process innovation required to improve
environmental and cost efficiency, while green product innovation and green supplier integration
cannot create such efficiencies.

53.Knowledge Searching, Integrating and Performing: Always a Tuned Trio for
Innovation?
Abstract:
External search strategies remain ineffective without the ability of the firm to communicate and
share internally what has been absorbed from the environment. However, most of the literature
remains silent on the advantages (and disadvantages) firms may get when they combine internal
integration mechanisms and innovative management practices into their efforts to search for
external knowledge inflows with the aim of product innovation. To bridge this gap, this work has
investigated the external knowledge search practices firms deploy to innovate their products,
exploring the relationships among the use of such practices, some internal organizational
characteristics and innovation performance. In so doing, the paper raises two key findings. First,
there is a complementarity between the use of search practices and practices used to facilitate
horizontal cross-functional integration and to encourage, address and manage employees’ efforts
in generating new solutions to technical or market issues in the front-end of innovation
processes. Second, taking into consideration the complementarity between external search and
such internal organization mechanisms allows unveiling a quadratic effect stemming from the
use of search practices on innovation performance. This “complementarity lens” also allows us
to explore different configurations for managing the front-end of innovation processes and their
related outcome on the innovation process. In this regard, we found evidence of some
“indifference zones”, where the effectiveness of the external search processes firms activate does
not depend on the extent of the internal mechanisms firms use to absorb and articulate external
knowledge.

54.The effects of supply chain integration on customer satisfaction and financial
performance: An organizational learning perspective
Abstract:
Within the context of supply chain integration this study illuminates the role of customer
satisfaction and associated performance impacts through the lens of organizational learning
theory. This study investigates the relationships among internal integration, external integration
(i.e. with customers and suppliers), customer satisfaction, and financial performance using
survey data collected from 214 manufacturing firms in China. The results suggest that internal
integration significantly influences both dimensions of external integration, customer and
supplier integration; and that supplier integration is significantly and positively related to
financial performance. The results also show that customer satisfaction is significantly and
positively related to financial performance and fully mediates the relationship between customer
integration and financial performance. Consistent with organizational learning theory the study
shows that internal integration is an enabler for external integration which suggests that
companies need to progress from good internal practices and processes to effective management
of external processes. In particular this study positions the benefits of integration as accruing
from learning and financial performance being correlated to information flows. This study
suggests that integration is the mechanism whereby information is transmitted and subsequently
synthesized. The contextualization and organization afforded through internal integration
facilitates determining what information to bring in from outside the organization and knowing
what to do with the information when it arrives. Hence a contribution of this study is to tie
supply chain integration to the literature and principles of organizational learning theory thereby
opening a new perspective on the topic.

55.Green Product Innovation in Manufacturing Firms: A Sustainability-Oriented Dynamic

Capability Perspective
Abstract:
Despite environmental sustainability being identified as one of the key drivers of innovation,
extant literature lacks a theoretically sound and empirically testable framework that can provide
specific insights into green product innovation from a capability perspective. This study develops
a theoretical framework from a sustainability-oriented dynamic capability (SODC) perspective.
We conceive SODCs as consisting of three underlying processes (external resource integration,
internal resource integration, and resource building and reconfiguration) that influence the
change/renewal of sustainability-oriented ordinary capabilities (SOOCs) (green innovation
capability and eco-design capability). This study answers two key questions: which SODCs are
needed to develop green innovation and eco-design capabilities? Which of these capabilities lead
to better market performance of green products? We test a structural model linking SODCs to
market performance in 189 Italian manufacturing firms. First, we find that the nature of the
SODC–performance link (direct or indirect) depends on the SODC type. Specifically, resource
building and reconfiguration is the only SODC with a direct effect on market performance.
Second, all three types of SODC affect the eco-design capability, which mediates the link
between SODCs and market performance.

56.The effect of internal and external supply chain integration on product quality and
innovation: evidence from Thai automotive industry
Abstract:
To succeed in today's competitive global marketplace, companies are looking for successful
supply chain management through a supply chain integration strategy. The purpose of this study
is to expand the concept of supply chain integration into different sub-constructs – (1) Internal
Integration (II), (2) Supply Integration (SI) and (3) Customer Integration (CI) – and to
investigate the role of specific supply chain integration in predicting Product Quality (PQ) and
Product Innovation (PI). Based on a survey using data on 151 qualified automotive suppliers and
automakers in Thailand, results indicate that SI has a stronger impact upon PQ than II and CI. It
was also found that the influence of CI on PI was greater than the other independent variables.
Building on the previous literature mostly conducted in Western countries, the findings provide
additional support for the value of supply chain integration in the development of PQ and PI. Our
results also offer confirmation from a different context as an empirical study of supply chain
integration in the Thai automotive industry.

58.External involvement and green product innovation: The moderating role of
environmental uncertainty
Abstract:
Although the importance of external involvement has been recognized, under what conditions it
is more effective is still unclear. To address this research gap, this study explores the moderating
roles of three dimensions of environmental uncertainty on the relationship between external
involvement and green product innovation based on contingency theory and organizational
information processing theory. We examine the research hypotheses employing survey data
collected from 198 Chinese manufacturing firms and using hierarchical moderated regression
analyses. The results indicate that both customer involvement and supplier involvement have
positive effects on green product innovation. Technological uncertainty strengthens the effects of
customer involvement and supplier involvement on green product innovation. However, demand
uncertainty fails to moderate the relationship between customer involvement and green product
innovation, and supply uncertainty fails to moderate the relationship between supplier
involvement and green product innovation. This study provides novel and fruitful research
avenues for stakeholder involvement and suggests future directions.

59.The contingency effects of environmental uncertainty on the relationship between
supply chain integration and operational performance
Abstract:
This paper extends prior supply chain research by building and empirically testing a theoretical
model of the contingency effects of environmental uncertainty (EU) on the relationships between
three dimensions of supply chain integration and four dimensions of operational performance.
Based on the contingency and organizational information processing theories, we argue that
under a high EU, the associations between supplier/customer integration, and delivery and
flexibility performance, and those between internal integration, and product quality and
production cost, will be strengthened. These theoretical propositions are largely confirmed by
multi-group and structural path analyses of survey responses collected from 151 of Thailand's
automotive manufacturing plants. This paper contributes to operations management contingency
research and provides theory-driven and empirically proven explanations for managers to
differentiate the effects of internal and external integration efforts under different environmental
conditions.

Abstract:
This study analyzes survey-based studies examining the benefits of supply chain integration

is used to evaluate the empirical research published from 1990 to 2012. The analysis reveals that
internal integration serves as a foundation for establishing external collaboration. There is
empirical evidence on the positive effect of supplier integration on performance, whereas the
findings on benefits through customer integration are conflicting. While researchers have made
significant progress in our understanding of SCI, there is a substantial need for more work to
provide in-depth insights into the potential of SCI and to improve the methodological issues.

Evidence from Chinese manufacturing enterprises
Abstract:
This study focuses on how green product innovation affects green dynamic capability and
competitive advantage in the Chinese manufacturing industry. The empirical research indicates
that green product innovation is positively correlated with both competitive advantage and green
dynamic capability, whereas green dynamic capability also has a significant impact on
competitive advantage. Furthermore, this paper finds that the resource integration capability,
resource reconfiguration capability, and environmental insight capability of green dynamic
capability play intermediary roles between green product innovation and competitive advantage.
Corporate reputation positively moderates the relationship between green product innovation and
resource integration capability and positively moderates the relationship between green product
innovation and resource reconfiguration capability, whereas there is no moderating effect
between green product innovation and environmental insight capability.

63.Manufacturing practices and servitization: The role of mass customization and product
innovation capabilities
Abstract:
Servitization has been viewed as an important method for manufacturers to gain competitive
advantages. The purpose of the study is to empirically examine the effects of lean and agile
practices as well as mass customization and product innovation capabilities on the
implementation of servitization. The hypotheses are empirically examined using structural
equation modeling with data collected from 647 manufacturers. The results show that product
innovation capability directly improves servitization. Although the direct effect of mass
customization capability on servitization is not significant, it improves servitization indirectly
through product innovation capability. The findings also reveal that the direct impacts of lean
and agile practices on servitization are not significant. Lean and agile practices affect
servitization indirectly through product innovation capability, whereas the indirect effects of lean
and agile practices on servitization through mass customization capability are not significant.
Therefore, this study draws the conclusions that a manufacturer should develop mass
customization and product innovation capabilities simultaneously when implementing
servitization. Moreover, a manufacturer should also invest on lean and agile practices and
product innovation capability at the same time when transforming to a service-based business
model to cultivate their synergies on servitization.

64.Interpretive Barriers to Successful Product Innovation in Large Firms
Abstract:
The development of commercially viable new products requires that technological and market
possibilities are linked effectively in the product's design. Innovators in large firms have
persistent problems with such linking, however. This research examines these problems by
focusing on the shared interpretive schemes people use to make sense of product innovation.
Two interpretive schemes are found to inhibit development of technology-market knowledge:
departmental thought worlds and organizational product routines. The paper describes in some
depth differences among the thought worlds which keep innovators from synthesizing their
expertise. The paper also details how organizational routines exacerbate problems with learning,
and how successful innovators overcome both interpretive barriers. The main implication of the
study is that to improve innovation in large firms it is necessary to deal explicitly with the
interpretive barriers described here. Suggestions for practice and research are offered.

65.Success factors for environmentally sustainable product innovation: a systematic
literature review
Abstract:
The growing awareness regarding environmental sustainability has fully reached business reality.
Consumers and companies alike are looking for alternatives to mitigate pressing environmental
demands resulting from continuous population and economic growth. On the other hand,
companies must deal with an increasingly competitive scenario where innovation is regarded as a
survival need in most markets. It is thus clear that systematic academic research is paramount to
guide companies to succeed in environmentally sustainable product innovation. In this context,
this paper (i) consolidates extant research and aggregate findings of different studies on
environmentally sustainable product innovation through an interpretative framework of
published literature on the topic, and (ii) map critical success factors that drive the success of
product innovation developed in this new logic of production and consumption. To achieve these
objectives, a systematic literature review on environmentally sustainable product innovation was
conducted. Results show that there are four main critical success factors for environmentally
sustainable product innovation: market, law and regulation knowledge; interventional
collaboration; innovation-oriented learning; and R&D investments. The factors identified in this
research and corresponding variables were subjected to a brief empirical test by professionals.
The test allowed a preliminary approval of the developed framework and identification of the
most important variables within each factor. A research agenda based on the state-of-the-art on
the topic is also proposed.

66.Knowledge integration methods, product innovation and high-tech new venture
performance in China
Abstract:
Combining insights from knowledge-based theory (KBT) and the product innovation literature,
this paper explores whether and how knowledge integration methods contribute to high-tech new
venture performance in China’s emerging economy. Using data from 295 entrepreneurs and top
executives in Chinese high-tech new ventures, we find that both the coordinated integration of
knowledge and systemic integration of knowledge have positive effects on high-tech new
venture performance and product innovation. Competitive intensity moderates the impact of
knowledge integration methods on product innovation. Moreover, product innovation is a
mediator in the relationship between knowledge integration methods and high-tech new venture
performance. Our findings have important theoretical and practical implications.

67.Product innovation input and outcome: moderating effects of the innovation process
Abstract:
In this research, we propose and examine the proposition that product innovation process is a
moderator in the “innovation input–outcome” relationship. Innovation input involves R&D
spending in relation to sales or R&D intensity. Innovation outcome involves innovation
frequency or the number of new products developed and marketed. Innovation process involves
the level of integration in organizational mechanisms: functional coordination, tool arrangement,
and external relationship. Data from 45 medical and surgical device makers suggest that
functional integration is a significant moderator in the innovation input–outcome relationship.
External integration has only main effects whereas tool integration has neither main nor
interaction effects on innovation frequency. Results could, however, be industry and sample
specific. We discuss the implications of these findings for product innovation theory and
research.

68.The Effects of Cross-Functional Integration on Profitability, Process Efficiency, and

Asset Productivity
Abstract:
We further hypothesize that these effects are greater for firms that operate wider spans of supply
chain processes. These expectations are tested with the combination of two different data
sources: primary data collected to gauge levels of internal integration, and secondary data
collected from financial reports including profitability performance and related financial ratios.
The results provide evidence that internal integration mainly affects profits by driving process
efficiencies. These efficiencies appear to be especially significant in sales, general, and
administrative related costs for firms that have broad process spans. In contrast, the data analysis
offers no evidence of a relationship between internal integration and asset productivity. Based on
these findings, we point out important implications for the applicability of IPT in explaining the
effects of internal integration, and identify a call for action for practitioners. Overall, our study
enhances both the rigor and relevance of internal integration research by grounding it in IPT, by
utilizing objectively reported financial data, by identifying specific cost benefits, and by studying
the impact of process span as an important contingency.

69.Integrating Suppliers into Green Product Innovation Development: an Empirical Case
Study in the Semiconductor Industry
Abstract:
Understanding green product innovation development as a result of suppliers' involvement has
become a strategic priority for academics and practitioners. This paper aims to explore and
understand the role of suppliers in enhancing the manufacturer's ability to successfully carry out
green innovation in product development. As a research methodology, a case study approach is
employed. Primary data were collected through site visits and extensive interviews with
corporate and plant management in Korea. Based on the Korean study, the paper presents
following outcomes. First, there is a strong linkage between environmental compliance and green
new product developments. Second, there is a strategically close relationship of environmental
collaboration between suppliers and the buying company through technological integration.
Finally, involving key suppliers in green new product development for environmentally
demanding customers and markets can bring both environmental and commercial success. This
research provides new insights on supplier involvement and green product innovation
development in supply chain management. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP

70.Critical elements for product innovation at Portuguese innovative SMEs: an intellectual
capital perspective
Abstract:
The general purpose of this research is to study interaction effects between intangible assets and
product innovation. More specifically, the authors build on the intellectual capital-based view of
the firm and new product development perspectives to analyse which intellectual capital
elements affect product innovation performance at innovative small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) from Portugal, and what are their interdependencies, if any, in that process. The findings
confirm that intellectual capital does influence product innovation performance at Portuguese
innovative SMEs. However, not all intellectual capital elements that were identified for the
purpose of this research show such a relevant effect. In fact, only three elements, coming,
respectively, from human, relational and structural capital, effectively reveal a significant impact
on product innovation performance. Those are ‘Commitment to the Product Innovation Process’,
‘Vertical Relationships’ and ‘Product Innovation Management and Strategy’. In addition, only
structural capital elements exhibit a significant direct impact on product innovation success.
Human capital and relational capital elements affect product innovation indirectly, through their
interaction with structural capital. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the impact
of intellectual capital elements on product innovation at SMEs, providing more evidence on
which to build an intellectual capital-based view of corporate phenomena.

71.Low-Cost versus Innovation: Contrasting Outsourcing and Integration Strategies in

Manufacturing
Abstract:
This paper analyses how two different outsourcing manufacturing strategies relate to plant
performance and innovation capability when considering the organizational integration of design
and manufacturing as well as product complexity. The study discriminates between low-cost-
oriented outsourcing and innovation-oriented outsourcing. The empirical data used is based on a
survey of 267 engineering firms, of which half have outsourced manufacturing. We found that
the two outsourcing strategies do have different effects, which illustrates that outsourcing
represents a trade-off between improving innovation capability and lowering costs. The study
furthermore shows that manufacturing and supplier integration in product design processes is
mainly beneficial when applying innovation-oriented outsourcing, and when products and
manufacturing processes are complex.

Abstract:
The resource-based view of the firm contributes to the management of product development by
highlighting how different functional and integrative capabilities affect process efficiency and
product effectiveness. Here, I first review this evidence and then add it to past findings on this
topic to form an agent-resource model, which provides a more analytical understanding of
product development performance drivers. I also discuss the model in order to direct future
research on such relevant issues as the creation, the utilization, and the capitalization of
capabilities.

73.Does importer involvement contribute to product innovation? The role of export market
factors and intra-firm coordination
Abstract:
Relying on insights from resource dependence and information processing theory, this study
analyzes the extent to which an importer's involvement influences product innovation at the
industrial exporter firm. We consider two modes of involvement, collecting importer's feedback
and importer integration in the product development effort. We propose that the relationship
between importer involvement and product innovation is contingent upon the level of inter-
functional coordination within the development firm, and contextual factors related to the export
market. Data were collected from export companies participating in different international
business-to-business markets. Results show that firms with high inter-functional coordination
achieved higher leverage from importer feedback but obtain no impact from importer integration
in product development (PD). Contextual factors affect the relationship between importer
involvement and product innovation: importer feedback affects product innovation in
environments with intense competition and low technological turbulence. Importer integration in
PD has a significant effect on product innovation in environments with low competitive intensity
and high technological turbulence. This study contributes to a better understanding of the
conditions that allow an exporter firm to create value through external relationships. Theoretical
and managerial implications of these findings are discussed.

74.The impact of supplier integration on customer integration and new product

performance: The mediating role of manufacturing flexibility under trust theory
Abstract:
The impact of supply chain integration on new product development has been very well studied
in literature. However, little literature examines the relationship between supplier integration and
customer integration when they influence new product performance. This study aims to explore
the complicated relationships among supplier integration, customer integration and new product
performance via the mediating roles of manufacturing flexibility and service capability under the
trust theory. The research is based on the data from International Manufacturing Strategy Survey
(IMSS). It is found that both supplier integration and customer integration had positive direct
effects on new product performance. It is also found that supplier integration has a positive
impact on customer integration through the mediating role of manufacturing flexibility. The
study contributes to supply chain integration by exploring the complicated relationship between
supplier integration and customer integration based on the trust theory. It bears implications for
both practice and future research.

75.The HR system, organizational culture, and product innovation
Abstract:
This paper outlines the critical role of organizational culture in the link between the HR system
and development of new products and services. While it has been generally accepted that an
innovation-oriented HR system would lead to higher level of innovation, the literature does not
lend full support to this link. This paper is to point out the inadequacy of such simplified view. It
is suggested that a developmental culture is the missing link in-between HR system and
innovation outcomes. An HR system which emphasizes extensive training, performance-based
reward, and team development is necessary to create an organizational culture that is conducive
to product innovation. The empirical findings from a survey of 332 firms in Hong Kong
confirmed that organizational culture acted as a mediator between a firm's HR system and
product innovation.

77.Market Knowledge Dimensions and Cross-Functional Collaboration: Examining the

Different Routes to Product Innovation Performance
Abstract:
There is consensus in the marketing literature that market knowledge and cross-functional
collaboration are two fundamental resources for successful product innovation. However, few
studies examine the dimensions or characteristics of market knowledge and how and why these
resources influence product innovation performance. Drawing on contingency theory and the
knowledge-based view of the firm, the authors argue that knowledge integration mechanisms
may account for the effects of market knowledge dimensions (i.e., breadth, depth, tacitness, and
specificity) and cross-functional collaboration on product innovation performance. They find that
market knowledge specificity and cross-functional collaboration affect product innovation
performance through knowledge integration mechanisms. In contrast, whereas the effect of
market knowledge depth is partially mediated, market knowledge breadth has a direct,
unmediated effect on product innovation performance. A test of an alternative moderating
perspective shows that the effects of market knowledge depth and cross-functional collaboration
on product innovation are negatively moderated by knowledge integration mechanisms. By
showing the differential effects of market knowledge dimensions on product innovation
performance, the authors provide a more refined understanding of the interplay among market
knowledge, its integration, and the firm's performance in product innovation. The authors also
conclude that by overlooking the role of knowledge integration mechanisms, previous research
may have provided an overly optimistic view of the value of cross-functional collaboration in
product innovation.

78.Product innovation and process innovation in SOEs: evidence from the Chinese
transition
Abstract:
This paper offers an analysis of the influence of management behavior on the relationship
between factors such as market, governance and resources of a firm, and the choice of the type of
technological innovation in Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The authors develop a
structural equation model and 12 hypotheses and test the model and hypotheses using a sample
of 274 SOEs in China. This study discovers that the choice of innovation types among Chinese
SOEs depends on the turbulence in the environment, and on the organizational resources. The
key contributions of the study include testing existing theories of innovation in the context of
Chinese SOEs; studying the factors that affect product innovation and process innovation in that
context; and demonstrating that market forces and internal governance simultaneously influence
SOE innovation.

79.Ambidextrous Organizational Culture, Contextual Ambidexterity and New Product

Innovation: A Comparative Study of UK and Chinese High-tech Firms
Abstract:
Contextual ambidexterity is of paramount importance for new product innovation and
organizational success, particularly in high-tech firms operating in a dynamic environment.
Whilst it is recognized that contextual ambidexterity is grounded in organizational culture,
existing research has not crystallized what kind of organizational culture enables contextual
ambidexterity and consequently new product innovation. In this paper, drawing on data from 150
UK and 242 Chinese high-tech firms, we conceptualize ambidextrous organizational culture as a
higher-order construct consisting of organizational diversity and shared vision, and examine its
impacts on contextual ambidexterity and consequently on new product innovation outcomes.
Using structural equation modelling, we find significant relationships between ambidextrous
organizational culture, contextual ambidexterity, and new product innovation outcomes;
contextual ambidexterity mediates the relationship between ambidextrous organizational culture
and new product innovation outcomes. Our findings also suggest that the above relationships are
robust in the UK–China comparative research context, and that contextual ambidexterity and
new product innovation outcomes are dependent on business unit level heterogeneity (i.e.
ambidextrous organizational culture and research and development strength) rather than industry
or cross-cultural differences.

80.How to convert green supply chain integration efforts into green innovation: A
perspective of knowledge-based view
Abstract:
Although the importance of green supply chain integration (GSCI) in facilitating green
innovation has been recognized, most existing literature constructs a direct link for the GSCI-
green innovation relationship. How firms convert their GSCI efforts into green innovation is still
unclear. By collapsing GSCI into three dimensions (i.e., green supplier integration, green internal
integration, and green customer integration), this study explores an indirect GSCI-green
innovation link in which knowledge exchange and knowledge combination are deemed as
mediators. We employ survey data from 237 Chinese manufacturers and structural equation
modeling techniques to test research hypotheses. Our findings support the major argument that
the impact of GSCI on green innovation is indirect. Specifically, green internal integration
impacts green product and process innovation via both knowledge exchange and knowledge
combination; while green supplier integration affects green product and process innovation
indirectly only via knowledge combination and green customers integration affects green product
and process innovation indirectly only via knowledge exchange. This study advances our
understanding on the GSCI-green innovation relationship.

81.How Environmental Management Competitive Pressure Affects a Focal Firm's
Environmental Innovation Activities: A Green Supply Chain Perspective
Abstract:
Recently, environmental management offered firms a source of competitive advantage in the
marketplace. The development of environmental innovations is critical to the success of today's
firms. Drawing on the Schumpeterian perspective of competition, this research examines how the
perception of rival firms' green success influences a firm to pursue and produce environmental
innovation through its green supply chain integration activities. Using survey data from 230
firms, a conceptual model is developed and tested using structural equation modeling. We find
that the firms in our sample do perceive pressure from their competitors' success in
environmental management activities, and thus take supply chain action to pursue integration
activities. By differentiating incremental and radical environmental innovation, this study also
reveals the role of three dimensions of green supply chain integration (internal, supplier, and
customer integration of green product development) on incremental and radical environmental
innovation separately. Specifically, findings suggest that green supply chain integration has a
positive impact on developing incremental environmental innovation, while only customer
integration has a significant positive impact on developing radical environmental innovation.

82.An Evaluation of Research on Integrated Product Development
Abstract:
Integrated Product Development (IPD) creates overlap and interaction between activities in the
new product development process and, because this increases the need to coordinate,
compensates through other aspects of the new product development process (e.g., integrated
tools), product definitions (e.g., incremental development), organizational context (e.g., reduced
task specialization), and teaming (e.g., cross-functional teams). Since IPD has become an
important new standard for managing new product development, this paper's general aim is to
evaluate the research that has been conducted on it. Our three specific objectives include first
critiquing the IPD literature by identifying problems with empirical research and recommending
solutions. There are concerns about the overall approach, conceptualizing and operationalizing
IPD characteristics, and selecting performance objectives. Second, we conduct a meta-analysis to
evaluate relationships between specific IPD characteristics and project performance. We indicate
where relationships do or do not exist and identify variables that may moderate these
relationships. Third, we offer suggestions for extending IPD research into studies of (a) the
hierarchy of teams working on a project, (b) one company managing a portfolio of projects over
time, and (c) two or more firms collaborating in a strategic alliance.

83.Environmental Sustainability as a Source of Product Innovation: The Role of

Governance Mechanisms in Manufacturing Firms
Abstract:
Over the past two decades, since the emergence of the triple bottom line philosophy, the
relationship between environmental sustainability and corporate performance has received a lot
of attention but has generated mixed or often even contradictory results. A few recent studies
have inferred those innovations are the missing link that connects the environmental
sustainability of a firm to other performance metrics; however, the evidence of such a
proposition has been restricted to being conceptual or anecdotal. Relying on a knowledge
governance approach, this study presents exploratory empirical evidence indicating that the
impacts of a firm’s sustainability initiatives on its innovation performance originate from the
governance mechanism it uses for sustainability, not sustainability outcomes per se. We tested
this research proposition by using a subsample of Global Manufacturing Research Group’s
global survey data. Our results support the positive impacts of two widely used environmental
sustainability governance mechanisms (i.e., internal monitoring and supplier collaboration) on
product innovation capability. The findings further provide more useful and effective options for
manufacturing firms and managers, to establish environmental sustainability governance
mechanisms that can be converted into product innovation capability.

84.There's More Than One Perspective to Take Into Account for Successful Customer
Integration Into Radical New Product Innovation: A Framework and Research Agenda
Abstract:
To date, this important topic presents inconsistent empirical findings that must be converged. In
this paper, our systematic literature review addresses these inconsistencies by taking a
consolidated view of customer integration's effects on the development of RNPs. This extensive
review of 153 empirical papers has two main objectives. First, we provide the primary reasons
for inconsistent findings by scrutinizing the operationalizations of customer types (i.e., current
customers, potential customers, ordinary users, or users with domain-specific skills) and RNPs
(i.e., technological innovativeness, or both technological and market innovativeness) used in the
studies, as well as the different perspectives on customer integration [i.e., customer-based idea
evaluation, participation in direct and indirect idea generation, research and development (R&D)
partnerships with customers, having a customer orientation, and disseminating customer
knowledge via R&D-marketing collaborations]. Second, we present a synthesized view on
factors in the sphere of the innovating company and the customer that influence customer
integration's success along three phases of the radical innovation development process (i.e.,
discovery, incubation, and acceleration). Finally, we present avenues for future research and
discuss managerial implications of our synthesized view.

88.Organizational Integration and Process Innovation
Abstract:
Since firms buy most new technologies for manufacturing operations, it is difficult for them to
use these technologies to achieve competitive advantage because it is difficult to protect them
from imitation and circumvention. We suggest that successful organizations use four integrating
mechanisms of two types to capture the value from process innovations, (1) making process
innovation a unique occasion for significant restructuring and (2) creating effective new patterns
from the many alternative ways of accomplishing these changes. Findings supported the idea that
three upstream integrating mechanisms directed at the value-added chain—new hierarchical
structure, increased coordination between design and manufacturing, and greater supplier
cooperation—positively affect the productivity of new manufacturing systems, and one market-
directed, downstream mechanism, forming new customer alliances, positively affects new
system flexibility. Guidelines for future research are discussed.

Orientation Alignment on Product Innovation
Abstract:
This article develops a concept of an alignment between market and entrepreneurship

orientations and reports the results of a study designed to investigate its effect on a firm’s
product innovation. A sample of 181 firms was classified into four categories labeled as
market/entrepreneurship orientation (ME), entrepreneurship orientation (EO), market-oriented
(MO), and conservative (CO) firms. One-way ANOVA and planned contrast tests (PCT) were
used to identify whether or not specific product innovation decisions, activities, and performance
vary across the groups. The results indicate that these groups of firms significantly differ with
respect to both subjective and objective measures of new product performance, and with product
innovation strategies and activities pertaining to timing of market entry, product quality,
marketing synergy, proficiency of market launch, and management support for innovation.
Further, the findings suggest that these groups of firms are not significantly different with respect
to perceived environmental hostility and intensity of market competition. This finding suggests
that the groups of firms are robust across environments and that the findings presented in this
study are not an artifact of environmental variation. Managerial and research implications of the
results are discussed.

91.Do resource differences between manufacturers and suppliers help or hinder product
innovation of manufacturers? The moderating role of trust and contracts
Abstract:
It is a common practice of manufacturers to involve suppliers in new product development

(NPD). Extant literature indicates that supplier integration has mixed effects on manufacturers'
NPD and the contradicting findings result from either the external contingent factors or the
tactical integration practices. We argue instead that the mixed effects are rooted in resource
differences between manufacturers and suppliers. Further, we examine the functions of trust and
contracts as the resource integration and coordination mechanisms to manage the effects of
resource differences on product innovation of manufacturers. Based on a survey among 189
manufacturing firms, our research shows that resource differences follow an inverted U-shaped
effect on product innovation of manufacturers and that trust strengthens while contract
complexity attenuates the curvilinear relationship. As such, our research extends the existing
body of literature to account for the divergent outcomes of supplier integration from the
perspective of resource differences. Moreover, it demonstrates the double-edged effects of trust
and contracts as devices of resource integration and coordination. Our research offers useful
research and managerial implications.

92.Choosing the Right Partners: The Impact of Internal and External Integration on
Innovation Performance
Abstract:
Collaboration with internal and external partners has been lauded as having a positive impact
on the new product development (NPD) process (Atuahene-Gima 2003). However, given that
incremental and radical innovations have different development trajectories (Eisenhardt and
Tabrizi 1995), it is possible that the impact of integration on the NPD process differs across
these two innovation types (Tatikonda and Montoya-Weiss 2001). Therefore, this study asks:
How should organizations integrate internal and external NPD team members when developing
radical innovations versus incremental innovations? Given that new product teams form the
nucleus of an organization’s NPD efforts (Leenders et al. 2007), understanding the effects of
team integration on new product processes and outcomes is crucial for new product success.

Automobiles and Mainframe Computers
Abstract:
We investigate the impact of two kinds of integration—internal and external—on dynamic
capability. We use product development activities as a lens with which to focus on the
capability-building process in a firm. We first develop a conceptual model of the capability-
building process that relates specific problem-solving activities to the generation of
organizational capabilities. We derive a measure, ‘dynamic performance’, that estimates the level
of dynamic capability in an organization based on the consistency of its performance.
Furthermore, we use the model to motivate a series of hypotheses which link specific processes
to the achievement of high dynamic performance. We conjecture that the capacity to integrate
diverse knowledge bases through problem solving is the basic foundation of knowledge building
in an organization, and is therefore a critical driver of dynamic performance. The hypotheses are
tested by drawing on extensive cross-sectional empirical studies of product development in the
automobile and mainframe computer industries. The work follows by providing detailed
longitudinal cases describing the impact of integration on competence-building processes at
Nissan and NEC.

94.Supply Chain Integration Enables Resilience, Flexibility, and Innovation to Improve

Business Performance in COVID-19 Era
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a sudden change from normal conditions to
disruption conditions, and industrial sectors have experienced eroded growth. In particular, the
manufacturing industry experienced a slowdown due to the sudden disruption in supply and
demand. This situation stimulates the manufacturing industry to recover from this current
challenging disruption. This study investigates the impact of supply chain integration on business
performance through supply chain resilience, supply chain flexibility, and innovation system in
Indonesia’s manufacturing companies. Data collection has obtained as many as 470
questionnaires considered valid for further analysis. Data analysis used the partial least square
(PLS) technique using smartPLS software version 3.0. The results show that supply chain
integration affects innovation system, supply chain flexibility, and supply chain resilience
because of its ability to share complete product information and share production planning.
Innovation systems and supply chain flexibility enhance supply chain resilience through the
ability to deal with sudden changes in customer demand and production problems. Supply chain
integration improves business performance through innovation, supply chain flexibility, and
supply chain resilience in the COVID-19 era. This research could be the best practice for
managers in restoring manufacturing performance quickly. This study also contributes to the
current research in supply chain management.

95.The Impact of Supply Chain Integration on Mass Customization Capability: An

Extended Resource-Based View
Abstract:
This study investigates two key issues: 1) how internal integration, customer integration, supplier
integration, and the interplay among them jointly influence the development of mass
customization capability (MCC), and 2) how environmental conditions (i.e., demand uncertainty
and competitive intensity) moderate the impacts of supply chain integration on this development.
Based on the extended resource-based view (ERBV) of the firm and contingency theory, we
build a conditional indirect model and test it using a dataset of 289 manufacturers from nine
countries. Our results are consistent with the ERBV, showing that internal integration not only
has a significant direct effect on MCC, but also plays a central and strategic role in building
customer and supplier integration. However, although customer integration is found to improve
MCC directly, supplier integration appears to have no significant impact. Finally, internal
integration has a positive indirect effect on MCC through customer integration, and this indirect
effect is amplified when demand is uncertain and competition is intense.

97.Enterprise Integration Engineering as an Enabler for Business Process Management
Abstract:
This paper describes how Business Process Management has been implemented based on a
Reference Framework defined based on Enterprise Integration Engineering concepts. The
Reference Framework includes the following components: strategy definition (competitive,
supply chain, operational), performance evaluation system, process design/re-design, and
enabling technologies. It describes how all these issues have to be considered in an integrated
way to align the company strategy with process improvement projects in order to achieve
excellent performance. One case study is reviewed to describe how the reference model has
been used in a OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to achieve change management and
best manufacturing practices implementation.

98.Collaborative E-Engineering Environments to Support Integrated Product

Development
Abstract:
Nowadays global product development tasks are executed by different facilities usually at
different geographically location, where design and manufacturing teams must work remotely.
This situation requires three major issues to be tackled: (1) implementation of a collaborative
Integrated Product Development process among the different companies participating in the
Product Life Cycle activities; (2) establishment of environments that foster the coordination
and cooperation among engineering groups; (3) integration of software tools that allows the
exchange of information and knowledge among engineers in an effective and efficient manner.
A reference model for integrated product, process and manufacturing systems development is
described and a methodology to implement Collaborative e-Engineering Environments is
proposed to provide a model to transfer the e-engineering concepts to the industry. A case
study is described that applied the proposed methodologies to set-up a collaborative
environment for high tech product development using low-cost technologies.

99.Developing the Enterprise Concept The Business Plan

Abstract:
Nowadays, it is becoming more and more important to conceptualize businesses that are
competitive to face the trends that are leading to increased levels of complexity, dynamism,
and to uncertainty of the global environment. Traditional ways of designing businesses are
more suited to evolutionary change, therefore the definition (or re-definition) of a business
should take into account novel approaches from the start, i.e. the conception of the new or
changed business. A business is the integration of people, processes and technologies with the
aim of fulfilling some mission (usually the provision of a service or the production of some
goods for a market). People who have entrepreneurship, leadership and the ability to
collaborate, create an environment of trust and commitment that implements the envisaged
concept. Therefore, the development of an enterprise concept is based on humans aiming to
achieve their vision for an enterprise. Only people can recognize the customer’s requirements,
design products to satisfy them, and construct and run the factories that deliver those products.
Only people can learn the lessons of experience and apply them in a manner that improves the
future of a company (Miller and Berger, 2001). Hence, people play a key role in developing
the enterprise concept; in fact, it is the people engaged in this activity who create enterprises.

100.Enterprise e-recruitment: a problem-oriented conceptual model and ontology for
contextualising recruitment problem space.
Abstract:
Internet-led labour market has become so competitive forcing many organisations from different
sectors to embrace e-recruitment. However, it is challenging to realise the value of e-recruitment
from a Requirements Engineering (RE) analysis perspective, which is the overall problem
addressed in this thesis. The research was originated from the failure of realising the e-
recruitment value in a real e-recruitment project conducted in the Secureland Army (SA). After
reviewing the various challenges faced in that project through a number of related research
domains, the thesis focuses on two major problems that are root causes of the overall problem of
the thesis: (1) the difficulty of scoping, representing, and systematically transforming recruitment
problem knowledge towards e-recruitment solution specification; and (2) the difficulty of
documenting e-recruitment best practices for reuse purposes in an enterprise recruitment
environment. These problems are related to some knowledge gaps in the research literature. To
address the foregoing problems, the thesis developed four artefacts leading to contributions to
knowledge centred on enterprise e-recruitment: (1) a Problem-Oriented Conceptual Model
(POCM) to contextualise and represent the various recruitment problem viewpoints from an
enterprise perspective; (2) a complementary Ontology for Recruitment Problem Definition
(Onto-RPD) to elaborate those problem viewpoints towards a comprehensive recruitment
problem definition; (3) a POCM-informed Requirements Analysis Approach (POCM-RAA) to
utilise POCM and systematically derive and analyse requirements through different levels of
abstraction towards the e-solution space
