The integrative methods in the book facilitate problem solving and decision making among people with different disciplinary perspectives, reflecting the current industry trend to perform product design and development in cross-functional teams.Mon Mar 31 14:42:32 CEST 2008BerlinSchriftenreihe des IFO-Instituts für WirtschaftsforschungDer Innovationsprozeß in westeuropäischen Industrieländern: Der Ablauf industrieller Innovationsprozesse981978imported Mon Mar 31 14:42:32 CEST 2008International Journal of Innovation Management11-17Disruptive Technologies: An Expanded View92005imported The term “disruptive technology” as coined by Christensen (1997, The Innovator’s Dilemma; How New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail. Harvard Business School Press) refers to a new technology having lower cost and performance measured by traditional criteria, but having higher ancillary performance. Christensen finds that disruptive technologies may enter and expand emerging market niches, improving with time and ultimately attacking established products in their traditional markets. This conception, while useful, is also limiting in several important ways. By emphasising only “attack from below” Christensen ignores other discontinuous patterns of change, which may be of equal or greater importance (Utterback, 1994, Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation. Harvard Business School Press; Acee, 2001, SM Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Further, the true importance of disruptive technology, even in Christensen’s conception of it is not that it may displace established products. Rather, it is a powerful means for enlarging and broadening markets and providing new functionality. In Christensen’s theory of disruptive technology, the establishment of a new market segment acts to channel the new product to the leading edge of the market or the early adopters. Once the innovation reaches the early to late majority of users it begins to compete with the established product in its traditionalmarket. Here we present an alternative scenario in which a higher performing and higher priced innovation is introduced into the most demanding established market segments and later moves towards the mass market.Mon Mar 31 14:42:32 CEST 2008Knowledge Engineering Review15-29Knowledge Level Modelling: Concepts and Terminology131998imported We address the problem of highly varied and inconsistent usage of terms by the knowledge technology community in the area of knowledge-level modelling. It is arguably difficult or impossible for any standard set of terms and definitions to be agreed on. However, de facto standard usage is already emerging within and across certain segments of the community. This is very difficult to see, however, especially for newcomers to the field. It is the goal of this paper to identify and reflect the most common usage of terms as currently found in the literature. To this end, we introduce and define the concept of a knowledge level model, comparing how the term is used today with Newell's original usage. We distinguish two major types of knowledge level model: ontologies and problem solving models. We describe what an ontology is, what they may be used for and how they are represented. We distinguish various kinds of ontologies and define a number of additional related concepts. We describe what is meant by a problem solving model, what they are used for, and attempt to clarify some terminological confusion that exists in the literature. We define what is meant by the term ‘problem’, and some common notions used to characterise and represent problems. We introduce and describe the ideas of tasks, problem solving methods and a variety of other important related concepts.Mon Mar 31 14:42:32 CEST 2008Die Führung des Betriebes1-25Die Betriebswirtschaftslehre als anwendungsorientierte Sozialwissenschaft1981imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008San FranciscoComputer Power and Human Reason: From Judgement to Calculation1976imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008BonnFührung von FamilienunternehmenVerdammt zur Spitzenleistung: Ein Arbeitsbuch für UnternehmerBd. 12005imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008StuttgartUrban TaschenbücherOntologie3471991imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008Newton Square, PAPMBOK HandbooksProject and Program Risk Management: A Guide to Managing Project Risks and Opportunities1998imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 20082AIM Research Working Paper SeriesInnovation and Organisational Performance: Evidence and a Research Agenda2004imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008WiesbadenDer Beziehungspromotor: ein personaler Gestaltungsansatz für erfolgreiches Relationship-Marketing1998imported Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008MünchenMehrkriterielle Entscheidungen1993imported Literaturverz.

Strategies for conducting more generalizable innovation research are suggested.Mon Mar 31 14:38:05 CEST 2008Management Science218-21How to escape Jurassic Park syndrome492005imported This article explains how businesses can maximize the return on their investment in technology. Using application development frameworks offers numerous benefits: the ability to optimize any development for particular business needs; maximum speed in application development; and no more expensive time wasted on writing the routine elements of a system. Meanwhile, there is a certain conceptual connection between application development frameworks and the old open operating systems, such as UNIX. Application development frameworks are in a sense more loyal to the concept of the open operating system than open operating systems themselves actually ever were. And it is the very fact that the frameworks are universal that has led to many independent software development firms speculatively writing application packages for certain specific areas of functionality.
