Book Synopsis Role of Inter-Firm Networks in Technology Adoption by : David Agiddi
Download or read book Role of Inter-Firm Networks in Technology Adoption written by David Agiddi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaboration for innovation through the distant search for knowledge presents unique challenges from partnering for resources. Firms through their exploratory learning are incorporating informal knowledge flows in order to retain the organizational capability to respond to environmental uncertainties. This quantitative correlational study examined the mediating role of social capital in the inter-firm network on the adoption of innovative technologies required to exploit oil and gas resources efficiently. The empirical study integrated a conceptual model that comprised the knowledge-based view, alliance and social network theories. The impact of informal knowledge networks in collaborative organizations was observed to be positive and was moderated by the specific partner firm attributes. Support for establishing professional communities cuts across international oil companies (IOCs), national oil companies (NOCs) and service oil companies (SOCs) that frequently deploy beneficial oilfield technologies to enhance competitive advantage. The managerial implication is the premiums required to form and break established network ties when aligning the organization.
Book Synopsis Industrial Clusters and Inter-firm Networks by : Charlie Karlsson
Download or read book Industrial Clusters and Inter-firm Networks written by Charlie Karlsson and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This well-edited volume should be on the shelf of every regional development agency library. Its seventeen chapters written by 31 predominantly academic contributors are divided into four coherent sections: the first on cluster and network modelling, the next on empirical analysis, a third on case studies, finishing with two chapters on policy analysis and strategies.' - Tony Jackson, Journal of Economic Development This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of spatial industrial clusters and inter-firm networks. Given the prevailing political belief that clusters can be a major vehicle for economic development and growth, it is important to have a sound understanding of clusters and how they emerge, grow, eventually stagnate and disappear. It is also vital to know when and how to apply policy measures to support cluster development in order to increase economic welfare. This book illuminates both the theoretical and empirical issues relating to clusters and inter-firm networks, and presents a number of interesting case studies from a variety of different countries.

Book Synopsis Essays on Adoption and Diffusion of New Technology in Supply Chains by : Daeheon Choi
Download or read book Essays on Adoption and Diffusion of New Technology in Supply Chains written by Daeheon Choi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades, network technologies across supply chains have been introduced and promoted with the premised benefits for all participants. However industry experience with an adoption process of some technology suggests that some firms have a great amount of uncertainty in estimating the benefits of its adoption. This uncertainty will lead to a slow adoption rates across population in supply chains. In my dissertation, I develop a model to analyze technology adoption in a two-level supply chain: multiple suppliers and multiple buyers. The uncertainty about the benefits is reduced as other firms adopt the technology and information from their experiences becomes available. Thus, at any given time, the estimate of benefit for a firm depends on the number of supplier firms and number of buyer firms who have already adopted the technology. I seek to capture this dependence and analyze its effect on the adoption of technology like radio frequency identification (RFID) technology both on analytical models and empirical study. This study also investigates several important aspects of technology adoption process in supply chains. The dissertation comprises three essays focusing on these aspects in a dynamic adoption process in a two-level supply chain and diffusion of technology in inter-firm networks. I investigate how the dynamic process of uncertainty resolution and environment factors affects the firm's adoption decisions, and empirically examines the diffusion of technology in supply chain networks with several hypotheses to test insights generated from the analytical model.

Book Synopsis The Social Embeddedness of Industrial Ecology by : Frank Boons
Download or read book The Social Embeddedness of Industrial Ecology written by Frank Boons and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its inception, the field of industrial ecology has taken a distinctly technological approach to understanding and improving ecological consequences of industrial activities. Increasingly however, scholars and practitioners are developing perspectives on the social embeddedness of industrial ecology: the ways in which material and energy flows in regions and product chains are shaped by the social context in which they occur. This book presents empirical work addressing how cognitive, cultural, political and structural mechanisms condition the emergence and operation of industrial ecology. Further exploring such mechanisms holds promise for understanding both the barriers to, and opportunities for, altering the ecological impacts of industrial practice. Through contemplative chapters and intermezzos , authors with different disciplinary backgrounds reflect on the contribution of work from various social sciences to industrial ecology. Unique to the volume, the authors of the commentaries bring in their personal and professional experiences, reflecting on how they have engaged in or have seen the value in cross-disciplinary work. They also include discussion explicitly on the dialogue and its value to the evolution of the field. In these ways, the book develops the dialogue between social science contributors and researchers from other disciplines within the field of industrial ecology. Scholars and students involved in the study of industrial ecology and related fields as well as practising managers and those involved in facilitating industrial ecology projects around the world will find this engaging and comprehensive volume indispensable.

Book excerpt: This dissertation is motivated by an overarching research question: How do firms leverage external resources residing in their ego network (portfolio of alliances) and their clusters in order to innovate in a sustained manner? Research suggests that firms often struggle and falter in their innovation efforts. However, past research has paid little systematic attention on why firms struggle in their innovation efforts. Further, though network and clusters--the key sources of external resources--may overlap in several ways, the extant literature has not examined their joint effect on a firm's technological innovation. In this dissertation, using a longitudinal research design I examine how the characteristics of a firm's ego network and of its cluster independently and jointly impact its patent output in the U.S. semiconductor industry. The research provides a framework showing how networks and clusters may work in tandem in helping a firm overcome innovation barriers. The study demonstrates how firms can leverage network and cluster resources. The empirical evidence indicates that the efficacy of cluster resources increases in the presence of network ties within the cluster. It also shows that firms can mobilize resources of distant clusters using their network ties. The study further demonstrates that resource-rich firms leverage networks resources more effectively than the resource-deficient firms do while resource-deficient firms leverage cluster resources more effectively than the resource-rich firms do. The dissertation makes important theoretical and empirical contributions to alliance, network, cluster, and innovation literatures. The research findings also have important managerial implications.

Download or read book Design and Management of Interfirm Networks written by Josef Windsperger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interfirm networks include franchising, retail and service chains, cooperatives, financial networks, joint ventures, strategic alliances, licensing, public-private partnerships and new network forms in the digital economy. This book gathers the latest research studies that approach these networks – and the creation of innovation under the conditions of a complex, dynamic, knowledge-intensive and digital economy – from an interdisciplinary perspective. The studies, all of which were written by respected experts, explore how firms can improve their competitiveness by securing access to innovation, knowledge, complementary resources and capabilities otherwise not available to them. In addition, they highlight how, driven by an unpredictable environment, firms embedded in inter-organizational networks are increasingly transforming from co-operators to collaborators and valuable co-creators of innovation.

Bengt Johannisson, Växjö University and Jönköping University, Sweden Many of the world s leading experts on entrepreneurship and economic growth explore important issues that impact new venture creation; the influences of the knowledge-based economy on economic development; factors that govern exit from entrepreneurship, and a variety of critical social influences on entrepreneurship and economic development. Like the previous three volumes in this series from the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, this is a significant contribution to entrepreneurship scholarship that has important insights for scholars and public policy-makers. William B. Gartner, Clemson University, US This state-of-the-art book provides a window on contemporary European entrepreneurship and small business research. The papers selected demonstrate the applied nature of entrepreneurship research as well as the various contributions that entrepreneurship can make to local, regional and national development. Written by international experts, the book reveals the heterogeneity of entrepreneurship in terms of substantive content and the methodologies employed. With both quantitative and qualitative approaches well represented, Entrepreneurship and Growth in Local, Regional and National Economies covers topics such as regional perspectives on entrepreneurship, new venture creation and growth, business exits, knowledge-based entrepreneurship and social inclusion. Furnishing the reader with rich and leading entrepreneurship research, this book will be invaluable for entrepreneurship and small business researchers as well as postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students of entrepreneurship. Policy makers will also find much of great interest to them.
