International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) is referred to as one of the most successful roadmapping attempts in high-tech industries. ITRS constantly gave orientation to industries (device/equipment/materials), academia, and governments for continuing miniaturization. The 2000s, the period of utmost attention to ITRS, is also the period of gradual “breakdown” of Dennard's Scaling Law

In this article, we examine the mechanisms through which corporations can achieve ambidexterity based on entrepreneurial ecosystems. The emergence of entrepreneurial ecosystems provides an alternative approach for large corporations to capture and cocreate value across institutional boundaries. This article explores this perspective by connecting the interorganizational ambidexterity literature with

The severe resource constraints that characterize markets at the bottom of the world's economic pyramid have forced firms to innovate both their products and processes. However, discourse in frugal innovation literature on how firms can design frugal processes in response to the resource constraints they face remains relatively sparse. Based on a systematic literature review, in this article we consolidate

If we have any hope of achieving sustainability, we, as researchers, need to develop a new perspective on universities and multistakeholder engagement. Stakeholder theory teaches us that engaging stakeholders in specific transactions and interactions can foster the sustainable development. But solving the grand challenge of sustainability requires more. Universities need to see themselves as part of

Emerging economies necessitate innovative new products to be developed using limited resources. This encourages scholars to explore factors that enhance innovative outcomes in environments with different levels of resource constraints. Extending the theory of feedback at workplaces to the context of innovation and new product development, in this article, we explore the effects of supportive and constructive

The rapid growth and widespread availability of technology has allowed enemies to dynamically develop countermeasures to military systems. Therefore, it is imperative that military systems be designed to account for these countermeasures. As such, technology roadmapping should be a critical activity in the acquisition of defense systems. Technology roadmaps provide a strategic vision for a system that

The need for a clear research and policy agenda to assist early stage Cleantech financing has never been greater. These businesses may hold important keys to unlocking vital globally game changing technologies to tackle climate change. This article provides an overview of recent academic literature and proposes a research agenda for early stage Cleantech small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) finance

The use of Internet-of-things (IoT) applications (solutions) in the real world has increased exponentially. In smart cities, networked IoT devices are collecting data from the physical medium to optimize the decisions to improve city services to citizens. One way to evaluate this services solution is the use of the living labs, shown as a good option to evaluate previous real applications. However

Despite the interest in frugal innovation, both in research and in business practice, little is known about methods, approaches, or procedures that specifically support the systematic development of frugal innovations. In this article, we propose a novel approach that can be applied for developing frugal innovations, which also appears to be suitable for developing radical innovations. We present one

In this article we analyze the case of TD-SCDMA system standardization in China. Specifically, we focus on the leading role that government-controlled enterprises (GCEs) played in the standardization, and how the Chinese government supported GCEs. The case study findings advance current knowledge on how governments support standardization efforts in a catching-up context. We found that, under strong

Changeability and evolvability analysis can aid an engineer tasked with a maintenance or an evolution task. This article applies change mining and evolution mining to evolving distributed systems. First, we propose a Service Change Classifier based Interface Slicing algorithm that mines change information from two versions of an evolving distributed system. To compare old and new versions, the following

As part of business and management studies, research works addressed blockchain technology (BCT) in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) first in 2016. Increasing levels of interest from researchers and practitioners alike have led to an increasing number of studies from both ends; however, a thorough bibliometric- and cocitation network analysis of BCT in LSCM research has not been carried

The byzantine agreement protocol has a disadvantage that there are many limitations on node scalability, because the performance degradation may occur due to a large amount of traffic. Hence, this classical byzantine agreement algorithm seems to be infeasible to achieve scale-out performance with the same level of security as a Bitcoin. In order to improve the performance degradation due to a large

Globalization has been a main driver for firms’ entry into standard-setting organizations (SSOs). These global multifirm settings have caught attention due to tensions arising from simultaneous collaboration and competition among firms as well as due to the increasing geographical complexity of the standardization process. SSOs present one form of a multifirm environment, where companies proactively

High-tech organizations increasingly rely on innovative contributions of their R&D employees, or the inventors, who often work within resource-constrained environments of emerging markets to deliver innovative outcomes. Integrating social exchange theory and bricolage theory, we conceptualize R&D activity as a process that involves salient tensions as inventors work effectively with others using their

Research on new product development (NPD) has grown considerably over the last 30 years interweaving with serval fields of study such as strategy, marketing, supply chain management, and project management. This article offers an overview of the development of the NPD management literature published over the last ten years (2008 to 2018) in 1226 peer-reviewed articles. By applying bibliometric analysis

By making use of social media analytics, public discussions

The livelihood of smallholder farmers in emerging economies’ cocoa supply chain is substandard because of fraud, exploitation, corruption, deceit, child labor, and financial exclusion, usually perpetrated by influential actors. This situation creates a social sustainability problem which needs urgent attention. Digital technologies such as sensors, drones, satellites, and blockchain show promise toward

Blockchain technology has created an excitement that was last seen two decades ago when the Internet was entering the mainstream. An appealing feature of blockchain technology is smart contracts. A smart contract is an executable code. It runs on top of the blockchain facilitating an agreement between untrusted parties. These smart contracts have a major limitation, namely they cannot operate on information

E-health systems have witnessed widespread usage in the last few years, mainly due to advancements in health monitoring hardware and the availability of remote diagnostic services. Given the numerous benefits, there are two main challenges: management of the e-health ecosystem and security and privacy of sensitive data. The former results from nonunified, redundant, and often replicated information
