This study was aimed at achieving an understanding of the role of knowledge and commitment in the process of innovation. To do that, the study confronted several intractable problems of innovation research that have created barriers to knowledge accumulation. Theoretical models were developed based on organizational knowledge and commitments and aimed at overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional research models. Theoretical models of organizational change were investigated through multiple case studies of innovation projects that compared organizations of different types and size, and change processes of both technological and administrative character. A conclusion from this research is that innovation research should learn to live with the dialectic that innovation is unrelated to knowledge or outcomes. This would help to focus research attention on the means by which knowledge is transformed into action, the central problem of the management of innovation.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Yaqub, Ohid. "Knowledge accumulation and vaccine innovation : lessons from polio and HIV/AIDS." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2010. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/2382/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis contrasts vaccine innovation efforts in the cases of poliomyelitis and HIV/AIDS. It addresses the question of why some fields of human endeavour can be seen to yield positive change more quickly than others. The thesis develops a perspective that views innovation as a cumulative learning process. It employs the notion of a ‘testing regime' to draw attention to the role of testing in driving this carefully managed learning process during the development of vaccines. Repeated testing, under conditions that are varied using instruments and skill, generates knowledge that is reliable and robust for technological purposes. Governance is needed to co-ordinate this process of testing to ensure the resulting knowledge growth is shared and cumulative. This lens is used to explore the creation of intermediate conditions, the development of instrumentalities, and the role of governance in vaccine innovation processes. The thesis uses the notion of ‘social visions' to explore how attention directed to poliomyelitis contrasted with neglect and apathy afforded to AIDS in its early manifestations. Shared, rather than competing, visions are found to play a significant role in setting the vaccine innovation process in motion. However, the thesis finds that key pathogenic features of the virus and certain ethical and safety stances make learning and the accumulation of technological knowledge inherently difficult. Importantly, the thesis finds policy measures can mitigate or exacerbate these learning challenges considerably. Whilst greater market support and increased research funding tend to be positive contributions to vaccine development, this research shows they are only part of what is needed to take ideas through to innovation. The empirical evidence gathered in this thesis, when viewed through the testing regime lens, suggests that science and innovation are distinct activities but their inter-relationships can be enhanced with the development of an infrastructure focussed on nurturing skills, fostering the use of new techniques, encouraging the development of new instruments, and implementing governance measures to co-ordinate testing efforts and resources.

There have been several debates about the value of an MBA. Proponents of the MBA believe that the MBA contributes greatly to the development of general managers, while critics argue that the MBA course is disconnected from reality and does not equip graduates with the skills required to navigate managerial roles. Against this backdrop, the research aimed to establish which career capital components are accumulated through the MBA and what aspect of the MBA contribute to the accumulation of career capital.The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase of the research was qualitative and comprised ten semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders. The first phase aimed to establish the career capital components that are accumulated through the MBA and the aspects of the MBA that contribute to the accumulation of career capital. The constructs identified in phase one, together with those identified in the literature, were then used as inputs in the design of a self-administered questionnaire distributed in phase two. The questionnaire was sent to a total of 1 129 MBA graduates out of whom 205 completed the questionnaire.The career capital components that are developed through the MBA were identified, as well as the aspects of the MBA that contribute the most to accumulating career capital. The top career capital component identified was the ability to work under pressure. The aspect of the MBA that contributes the most to career capital accumulation was the case study method. Furthermore, the career capital components for which there were significant differences between males and females, as well as between those who completed their studies recently and those who completed them some time ago were also identified. The study found that there were no significant differences in perceived career capital between those who had different types of roles prior to embarking on the MBA. A model that encapsulates the key findings was also developed.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Thesis, Södertörns högskola, Institutionen för samhällsvetenskaper, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-25267.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates, at the country level, the relationship between innovation output or generation of new technology and input factors such as stock of knowledge, research effort and institutional factors such as competition and intellectual property rights. It is shown that variations in generation of new technology reflect differences in knowledge stock, research effort, product market competition and other institutional factors of OECD countries. The available stock of knowledge and the research effort was shown to have a linear and positive effect on technology generation. It was also shown that the degree of product market competition has a nonlinear effect on technology growth, thereby confirming on a country-level an inverted-U relationship between competition and innovation. Generation of new knowledge was examined using a knowledge production function with annual and accumulated knowledge measured with a patent indicator based on a worldwide count of patent priority filings. A cross-sectional linear regression model was used with secondary data. Independent variables included were the main variables accumulated stock of patent priority filings, the number of FTE researchers in R&D and the Product Market Regulation Index. Institutional bias was accounted for by including the independent variables Index of Patent Rights, administrative patenting fees and a Global Competitiveness Index. The Global Competitiveness index was found to have positive effect on patent productivity and the administrative patenting fees relationship was found to be negative. The results are consistent with theories and empirical findings. The results also highlight the importance of innovation policies that keep costs of patenting low and of adjusting the competition policy of a country to the type of economy in question.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2006.Includes bibliographical references.
The impact of intellectual property rights on the production, diffusion and accumulation of scientific knowledge has been a central concern of public policymakers and economists in both public and private institutions, and scholars in management economics and sociology. In this dissertation, I examine the central patenting debates over the role of patenting the life sciences and address a set of interrelated questions: (1) the impact of strategic intellectual property policies of institutions on their cumulative knowledge dissemination, utilization and commercialization; (2) the unique attributes of life science innovations captured by patents generated under different institutional settings; and (3) the degree to which patenting activities impact the rate and trajectories of scientific knowledge accumulation under varying intellectual property conditions. I take as my research setting, the Human Genome Project (HGP) and our mapping of the entire human genome that emerged from the project (as defined in both scientific publications and patents). The HGP was a 13-year, $3.8 billion research effort funded and coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health, and one of the most significant life science research projects ever undertaken.
(cont.) To address the first question, I study the seven key genome centers in the HGP, which produced almost all the genome sequence output and provide an unusually matched and well-controlled natural experiment to examine the impact of different knowledge institutions on the subsequent diffusion of scientific knowledge. To explore the second question, I build on the data set of the population of 4270 gene patents to systematically quantify and analyze the important attributes of these gene-based innovations. Through the construction of a set of validated measures, I specifically characterize the variation in these innovations when made under public versus private institutional settings and compare them to the innovations across broad technology fields from previous studies. To answer the third question, I identify and construct a large-scale, novel data set of 1279 unique patent-paper pairs from the gene patents and apply econometric models to shed light on the degree to which patent grant in the life sciences impacts the rate of follow-on scientific research. I find that publications with matched patent pairs are associated with higher citations on the average. Since only an institutional policy allowing patents results in patents, such policy does not stifle cumulative knowledge dissemination and use. In addition, patents contribute to technological innovation, commercialization and start-up.
(cont.) Furthermore, I identified a growing convergence of public/academic and industry innovations in the life sciences especially in terms of their "basicness" and appropriability as characterized by the Pasteur's quadrant, and that variation in institutional setting is associated with differential innovation characteristics. I also find evidence of "technological trajectories", coherence and persistence across various attributes of life science innovations. However, I determine that gene patenting impedes temporal knowledge diffusion and use and decreases citations of paired publications once they are granted and become "visible" to the public, as predicted by the anti-commons effect. I also ascertain that patenting hinders knowledge diffusion and use to a greater degree on private sector authored publications than public ones and for U.S. authored than non-U.S. authored ones, and that corporate patenting has a more adverse impact than public institution patenting. As the first study of its kind to directly test the "patent thicket" conceptualization, I find direct statistical evidence of the adverse effect of "patent thickets" and that the patenting of disease and cancer genes negatively impacts knowledge dissemination and use by follow-on scientists and researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em FinançasA literatura sugere que novas empresas criadas por indivíduos que anteriormente trabalhavam no mesmo sector, denominadas de spin-offs, apresentam um desempenho superior relativamente às outras. Este estudo tem como objectivo explicar a elevada performance dos spin-offs com base na teoria do efeito de aprendizagem (learning effect theory). Na sequência dessa teoria, sugere-se que os fundadores de spin-offs aprendem e transferem conhecimento da sua empresa-mãe, que por sua vez irá afectar o seu desempenho económico em termos de sobrevivência no mercado e crescimento. De modo a analisar o impacto da aprendizagem e transferência de conhecimento nos spin-offs, começou-se por categorizar e medir diferentes tipos de conhecimentos acumulados pelo fundador enquanto trabalhava na empresa-mãe. Este estudo focou-se nos conhecimentos de mercado e tecnológico. De seguida, avaliou-se de que forma esses conhecimentos específicos afectam o desempenho dos spin-offs. A análise baseou-se em duas bases de dados: Quadros de Pessoal e outra que contempla dados financeiros. Utilizando ambas as bases de dados foi possível obter a informação que associa empresas e fundadores a dados financeiros das respectivas empresas. Os resultados sugerem que, ao contrário do que se esperava, apenas o conhecimento de tecnologia tem um impacto significativo no desempenho dos spin-offs em termos de sobrevivência e crescimento, aumentando a probabilidade do spin-off sobreviver no mercado em 8,13% e aumentando a sua taxa de crescimento em 10,5%. Por outro lado, o conhecimento de mercado aparentemente não tem impacto significativo no desempenho dos spin-offs, tanto em termos de sobrevivência como em termos de crescimento.
Previous literature suggests that new firms established by entrepreneurs that previously worked in the same industry, also known as spin-offs, perform better than other entrants. In this study we try to explain their superior performance based on the learning effect theory. We suggest that the founders of spin-offs learn and transfer knowledge from their parent firm to their new ventures, affecting ventures survival and growth. In order to analyze this, we start by categorizing and measuring different types of knowledge accumulated by the founder while working in the parent firm. We focus only in market and technological knowledge. Then, we test how these specific knowledge attributes affect spin-offs' performance. To perform our analysis, we draw on two rich datasets: matched employer-employee database and one financial database. With these databases, we have access to micro-level data on firms and founders combined with firm's financial data. Our results suggest that, in the opposite of what we were expecting, only technological knowledge has a significant impact on spin-offs' performance in terms of survival and growth, increasing their probability of surviving by 8,13% and increasing their growth by 10,5%. In the other hand, market knowledge has no significant impact on spin-off's performance either in terms of survival or growth.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur l’impact des investissements direct étrangers sur la croissance économique appliquée au cas de l’économie turque.Dans le cadre des débats sur le processus de rattrapage économique de certains pays en voie de développement, nous constatons que ces pays en question doivent leur succès essentiellement aux transferts de biens et services venant des pays développés. L’IDE est un moyen qui facilite le processus de diffusion de connaissances et de technologies, mais tout de même les débats sur ses effets positifs sont controversés et ils ont mis en évidence une discordance entre les hypothèses théoriques et les résultats empiriques. Nous cherchons à savoir dans quelle mesure l’affinement de l’analyse au niveau empirique peut permettre de déterminer le degré de pertinence des théories.L’analyse qualitative nous a permis de comprendre les déterminants des stratégies des investisseurs étrangers et du pays d’accueil, des éléments sur le transfert de technologie et ses composants, sur l’innovation, sur les liens en amont et en aval, sur les répercussions sur l’emploi,etc. L’analyse quantitative a confirmé une relation bidirectionnelle entre l’IDE et la croissance économique et par la suite les relations des IDE avec les autres composants de la croissance économique.Les résultats indiquent que l'IDE réside d’une importance cruciale en termes du transfert de technologies, de compétences entrepreneuriales et des ressources en termes de capitaux.Par ailleurs, en observant le niveau de coopération au sein de l’entreprise conjointe, notre analyse qualitative indique une forte accumulation des compétences en termes technologiques,d’innovation et managériales au niveau des entreprises locales. De plus, les relations verticales en amont et en aval entre les FMN et les entreprises locales sont relativement fortes. Les filiales étrangères utilisent de plus en plus des réseaux locaux pour fournir de biens intermédiaires. Cela confirme l’autonomie renforcée du secteur manufacturier local en TurquieThe thesis focuses on the impact of foreign direct investment on economic growth applied to the case of the Turkish economy.In the context of discussions on the process of economic catching-up countries in the developing world, we find that the country in question owe their success primarily to the transfer of goods and services from developed countries. FDI is a tool that facilitates the process of diffusionof knowledge and technology, but still debates about its positive effects are controversial and have highlighted a discrepancy between the theoretical assumptions and empirical findings. We want to know how the refinement of the empirical level analysis can determine the degree of relevance of theories.The qualitative analysis allowed us to understand the determinants of foreign investors and strategies of the host country, elements of technology transfer and its components on innovation,backward and forward linkages of the impact on employment, etc.. The quantitative analysis confirmed a bidirectional relationship between FDI and economic growth and subsequently FDI relations with other components of economic growth.The results indicate that FDI is crucial in terms of technology transfer, entrepreneurial skill sand resources in terms of capital.Furthermore, by observing the level of cooperation in the joint venture, our qualitative analysis indicates a strong accumulation of skills in terms of technology, innovation and management at local firms. In addition, vertical backward and forward linkages between MNCs andlocal firms are relatively strong. Foreign subsidiaries use more local networks to provide intermediate goods. This confirms the increased autonomy of the local manufacturing sector inTurkey

Full textAbstract:
The importance of universities as knowledge hubs is increasing due to knowledge production via research and teaching. An emerging aspect of knowledge management literature is the study of the knowledge requirements of universities. In particular, the transformation from knowledge creation to knowledge sharing has proved to be important in the university context and is subject to cultural differences. For example, previous research has indicated that a physician’s Tacit Knowledge Capacity (TKC) is affected by social software and social media. This creates opportunities to carry out new research on different occupations that have an intense TKC. As part of this research, a survey was conducted in order to assess the TKC of lecturers in both Germany and North Cyprus. These are two countries that have universities providing knowledge management programmes. The research determined the TKC in both countries and compared the two in order to determine if cultural factors affect the TKC of the profession. Through this research, the authors aimed to contribute to the ongoing research on the knowledge requirements of universities that will enable them to be knowledge intensive institutions. The Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences at Near East University, which has 2200 students and 20 chairs, was compared with the Faculty of Business and Economics at the Technische Universität Dresden, which has 2800 students and 23 chairs. The study was carried out to provide an intercultural comparison, which is currently lacking in the Knowledge Management field. The research findings have highlighted the factors influencing the transfer and the accumulation of tacit knowledge.

Issue tracking is an important process in enterprise applications. It usually causes loss of money and reputations when issue occurs. If issue can be better controlled, solved, and tracked, the loss will be reduced. Nowadays, there is high job-change rate in high-tech industry because of competitions and human resource needs between corporations. Once the employee was off the job, the knowledge and experience won’t be preserved. It is therefore an important consideration to store, organize, and reuse knowledge of former employees. This research integrates the bug tracking system, wiki system, and mobile devices into a issue tracking system. This system is not only tracking and controlling issues efficiently but also easy to organize experiences into knowledge. This system will provide good reference data when the issues are resolved. On the other hand, the knowledge will still be preserved when the employee leaves the job because of the experience has been stored properly. This research also modified the SPC (Statistical Process Control) index to measure the issue solving capability. This index will help figure out the bottleneck of issue resolving process and reduce the cost.

This thesis incorporates both knowledge accumulation and capital accumulation into an efficiency wage model. Three main results emerge from our analysis. Firstly, in rise in the payroll tax rate leads to a negative effect on long-run efficiency wages and no effect on knowledge accumulation. Secondly, a rise in unemployment benefits generates zero effect on efficiency wages and knowledge accumulation. Thirdly, a rise in the tax credit of investment leads to a positive effect on long-run efficiency wages and leaves knowledge accumulation unaffected.

Knowledge is one of the main economic sources in the new era of economy, and knowledge accumulation and circulation have become the bases of knowledge-based enterprises and industrial development. However, to enhance the research and development (R&D) capabilities of manufacturers and to continue to accumulate knowledge have obviously grown into the keys and challenges of the new century in Taiwan’s industry. By the rapid expansion and spreading of knowledge, accumulating knowledge effectively becomes the prior priority in industry. Taiwan has been lacking of talents in technologies of telecomm industry, particularly in the expertises of R&D and executive management. It has been a long time that the key telecomm technologies have been dominated in the United States and Europe, and the technology life cycle in the telecomm industry is changing dramantically; therefore, the development of Taiwan''s R&D and human resource has been lagging behind, comparing to the advanced countries in the world. In order to prolong the duration of enterprises, the related employees in the enterprises should learn constantly to create, to share, to utilize and to spread knowledge not only within enterprises but also in nations. The purpose of this study is to explore the key influential factors of knowledge accumulation in Taiwan’s telecomm industry. The quantitative research method adopted in this study is utilizing AHP to analyze quantitative data, and the qualitative research method chosen in this study is based on the literature studies and the results of interviews with experts. This study selects the suppliers of telecomm facilities and experts of telecomm vendors as the questionnaire nominators. The results in this study shows that "Core Knowledge" is the significant factor to affect the knowledge accumulation by experts in the main dimensions. Knowledge from the access of internalization in an organization is more important than the access of externalization. As for the secondary dimensions, "Staff Centripetal Force" is the key factor to affect the knowledge accumulation, and the rest of factors in the secondary dimensions are followed by the series of "Staff Learning Attitude" and "Top Executive Managers Support".

Find full textAbstract:
Developing unsupervised vision systems in Dynamic Environments is one of the next
challenges in Computer Vision. In Dynamic Environments, we usually lack the complete
domain knowledge of the applied environments before deployment, and computation is
also limited due to the need for prompt reaction and on-board computational capacity. This
thesis studies a series of key Computer Vision problems in Dynamic Environments. First, we propose a stream clustering algorithm and a number of variants for unsupervised feature learning and object discovery, which possess several crucial characteristics
required by applications in Dynamic Environments, e.g. fully progressive, arbitrary similarity measure, matching object while the feature space is increasing, etc. We give strong
provable guarantees of the clustering accuracy in statistic view. Based on the above the approaches, we tackle the problem of discovering aerial objects on-the-fly, where we assume
all of the objects are unknown at the beginning of the deployment. The vision system is
required to discover from the low-level features to salient objects on-the-fly without any
supervision. We propose a number of approaches with respect to object proposal, tracking, recognition, and localization to achieve real-time performance. Extensive experiments
on prevalent aerial video datasets showed that the approaches efficiently and accurately
discover salient ground objects.
To explore complex and deep architectures in Dynamic Environments, we propose Unsupervised Deep Encoding which unifies traditional Visual Encoding and Convolutional
Neural Networks. We found strong relationships between single-layer Neural Networks
and Clustering and thus performed unsupervised feature learning at each layer from the feature maps of the previous layer. We replaced the dot product inside each neuron with
a similarity measure, which is also used in unsupervised feature learning. The weight
vectors of our network are initialized by cluster centers. Therefore, one feature map is
a visual encoding of its previous feature map. We applied this mechanism to pre-training
Convolutional Neural Networks for image classification. It has been found by extensive experiments that pre-training benefits the network more reliable learning dynamics (e.g.fast
convergence without Batch Normalization) and better classification accuracy.

In this study, the researcher examines the process of knowledge transferring in Public Relations (PR) professional, and tries to answer the following questions: what is the most important core competence that PR professional must have, how to get and develop this core competence, and how to pass down the core competence. During the period from March to April, 2008, the researcher used the method of in-depth interview to collect data. The sample consists of professionals in PR industry, which include top managers (tenure>10 years), middle managers (3 yrs>tenure > 7yrs), and staffs (tenure< 2yrs). The sample contains 21 interviewers and 7 companies. The researcher concludes that there are 7 kinds of core competence that PR professionals should have; these important characteristics are abilities of: 1. Independent-aggressive 2. Information obtaining 3. Instant- action 4. Planning-implementation 5. Self-controlling 6. Resource allocation, and 7. Communication. In addition, learners in organizations follow Nonaka’s models, including Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization, to accumulate their knowledge. In these models, the learners gain knowledge from tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge, and then internalize knowledge to become their personal experiences. Also, the researcher finds out that learning –by- doing is the most popular way to transfer personal experiences in PR industries. Learning- by- doing contains two parts in which seniors can teach novices more efficiently. The first part is mentoring, which shows the relation between seniors and novices in different knowledge levels; the other part is writing proposals, which shows explicit knowledge based on experiences. In the end of this study, the author develops the system of PR core competences, and suggests that these PR companies should combine employees’ personal core competences and objectives to maintain perpetual business in the changing environment. In addition, the author describes the process of transferring and accumulating knowledge in PR industry, hoping to offer guidelines for managing organizations. The author also suggests that these PR companies should develop the core competence-orientate training programs to ensure the collaboration of universities and companies. In sum, the researcher points out that the conclusion of this study can help schools to plan their PR courses; also, this study, by the researcher’s involving and observation, describes the interaction of seniors and beginners, and examines the mutual effects of PR professionals’ work experience and their daily lives by case studies. For PR companies, the researcher states that these organizations can start from developing PR professionals’ core competences and forming the suitable environment for sharing tacit knowledge.

A Study of Knowledge Accumulation and Share on Industry-Academia Cooperation Process Abstract The university education is the cradle that grows the high-grade manpower that meets the industry and economic construction need. “Cooperative Vocational Education” has been worked for a long time. Along with the evolution of the times, the expanded industry-academia combinations programs are under way. These communications relate to future industry and academia developments. The research shows that the enterprise can get qualified human resources and strengthen industry competitiveness in such an industry-academia cooperation process. On the other hand, teachers can also gain the practical experience of fixing industry problem and can have the chance to make the knowledge of the academic system be able to transfer into the enterprise. This cooperative system creates a complementary partnership and has a benefit reciprocity with each other. Under the current tendency of this knowledge-based economy times, the enterprise faces to the challenge of industrial regeneration and the impact of the manpower alteration. The talented persons with professional ability certainly become more important in the industry manpower arrangement. For an enterprise’s everlasting operation, the long-term but stable enterprise talented person cultivation and training are extremely important. In the realm of enterprise managerial strategy, it is emphasized that the strategy must be dynamic, and the cooperation must be continuous. Thus, there is an urgent demand for industry-academia knowledge transferring. From the standpoint of the knowledge management, a feasible cooperative mechanism is an important issue for future development of industry and university. This research is aimed to discuss how the Cooperative Vocational Education being undergone between the institute and the business enterprise, utilizing the school faculties and their students to generate the Information Leverage (ILPs), and to build up interacting pattern for data base and transfer as the reference for above-mentioned parties. To prove the desired pattern fulfilling the expectation of the faculties and the students, a survey called 「The Study on Satisfaction of “Expert is My Professor” Practical-Education」was conducted among expects from the enterprise, the school faculties and the students. The research indicated that the theory “3 days in the enterprise and 4 days at school” was thoroughly workable during the academic year. The survey also showed an over 95% satisfactory outcome and meant the Cooperative Vocational Education can not only be plotted out as a long-term plan but only bring forth a win-win situation for all the people involved. By analyzing the study in its pattern for knowledge management, transferring as well as sharing, it is a must to set up the connection between the school and the enterprise along with the fully assistance from the facilities and the students for their on-site experience. In short, the Industry-academia Cooperation shall become the vital factor in helping both parties transfer and share knowledge when the proper knowledge management is conducted.

Nowadays, the situation of global warming is getting worse and worse. The issue of climate change has facilitated great interests of scholars in this field. One of the most popular issue by scholars widely discussed is the greenhouse gas reduction issue in the climate change field. And the effect of knowledge accumulation is also the important factor which is necessary to consider in the greenhouse gas reduction issue. Although, Taiwan already formulated a greenhouse gas reduction target. However, how to assess the knowledge accumulation effect of greenhouse gas reduction and estimate the actual value of knowledge accumulation effect, even make sure Taiwan’s greenhouse gas reduction path is correct that is to become an important research topic in this study. This study was derived from the management of Quantified Emission Limitation or Reduction Objectives (QELROs) which was initiated by United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 2010). Thus, this study used linear regression analysis to evaluate the actual value of flow effect and stock effect in greenhouse gas knowledge accumulation, and replanned the optimum emissions time path and the quantified emission limitation or reduction objective management. Accordingly, this study proposed the QELROs strategies which were derived from Taiwan’s actual value of knowledge accumulation effect of greenhouse gas reduction, in order to provide government some references to implement the management of the greenhouse gas reduction target.

When entering the era of New Economics, the acquisition of knowledge is commonly seen as businesses’ exclusive source in the competitive marketplace. In recent years, companies have devoted their time to develop visual methods in order to organize the knowledge acquired. For example, during the last decade, developing organization skills was important in order for companies to forge ahead in the market. The acquisition of knowledge is vital in order to succeed, as is with business entities’ acquiring more business knowledge in order to become successful players in the market. Medium, in the News Department (or the so-called Editing Department) has been the knowledge production center in the media industry. The media must possess knowledge in order to produce knowledge based programs or articles in their everyday operations. Following an inspection conducted by the “Learning Organization Evaluation Scales”, the medium industry conforms to the natures of learning organizations. Thus, in contrast to other industries, the accumulation of knowledge is a vital for the media. For a long time, due to the uniqueness of the medium industry environment, the solution to acquiring new knowledge was often through the recruitment of a senior, from another peer company, who could assist in producing knowledge for daily-changing news events. Thus, when a senior journalist left, the medium company’s knowledgeable source disappeared as well. In the medium industry, there has not been a systematic knowledge accumulation process within the organization, not to mention the development of knowledge visualization at the firm. This study explores the definitions of a learning organization; also inducing the knowledge categories and definitions from academic papers published, and extracted literatures in the field of knowledge accumulation. Senior media workers have been invited to join the discussion session and speak as industry professionals. They helped verify and raise the questionnaires that were later used in personal interviews. This study was analyzed by the exploratory methodology, with data collected through in-depth personal interviews with media’s news departments, which were selected from newspapers, magazines, wirelesses TV, satellite TV and radio stations. These media outlets have been categorized by research results and analysis in the study as having a relationship between media news departments’ production procedures and the processes of the acquisition of knowledge. In addition to the coordination of the theories and industry practiced, this study also provides a graphic account of knowledge accumulation for the media’s news departments, which can be seen as an integrated reference when entering the process of knowledge accumulation. Key words: medium/media, knowledge accumulation, media management, learning organization.

Innovation enables companies to have long-term competitiveness in the market, primarily technological innovation. According to the A&U model, compared to process innovation, product innovation can create rich profits for the company. In the previous literature, it was pointed out that there are many factors affect product innovation. However, there are few direct discussions to focus on the ability of R&D employees. This study explored the impact of concentration of R&D employee's ability on product innovation performance from the perspective of resource-based theory; next, the study explored the impact of knowledge accumulation on product innovation performance from the perspective of knowledge management; finally, the study explores the impact of the interaction of the concentration of R&D employee's ability and knowledge accumulation on product innovation performance through the comprehensive points of resource protection theory, knowledge cost and knowledge hiding. The empirical results show that, first, the more concentration of R&D employees' ability the better product innovation performance. Second, the better the knowledge accumulation, the better product innovation performance. Third, knowledge accumulation will decrease the concentration of R&D employee's ability to impact on product innovation performance.

In recent years, different from the capital as the main axis of the economic system, the global economy has gradually developed into the "Knowledge Accumulation and Innovation" as the main driving force of economic growth and propelled productivity. Moreover, according to the proof of Harvard Business Review, the outsourcing strategy reveals the tendency of strategic business administration. And the accumulation of knowledge and engineering manpower outsourcing (EMO) presents the case of growth and decline (Gavious et al, 2003). Since companies make the outsourcing decisions of skilled manpower, how to maintain the accumulation of knowledge within the enterprise and to get along with outsourcing by external knowledge to achieve balance and best value becomes an important issue in industries. At present, Taiwan is still lack of systematic and theoretical models for the optimization of knowledge accumulation (KA) and EMO. Therefore, this study aims to conduct the research and analysis of Taiwan''s optical industry by adopting a mathematical model of the system that accomplishes EMO and structure of optimization model. Furthermore, this study applies the optimization model on AU Optronics Corporation to accomplish the study of KA and EMO.

The industry has two ways to improve its technology. One way is doing R&D by themselves,one is transferring from outside. Of these two ways, technology transfer is the fastest way to improve its technology, and is also the only way to learn the international advanced technology. Therefore, technology transfer is extremely important for the business.We found that, in essence, technology transfer is the from of knowledge learning, and the effects of this learning are determined by the attitude which organization members have towards it. Therefore this study is about the knowledge accumulation capabilities and organizational commitment. The research is based in Hsin-Chu science-based park’s definition of which is a high-tech corporation and which is a traditional one.I sent identical questionaries to 250 high-tech corporations and 250 traditional corporations. 21% of all questionaries were returned. This study used factor analysis and linear regression analysis to analyze the data from those returned questionaries.We reached the following conclusions： 1、Companies technology capability affects both the financial performance and the overall effectiveness of technology transfer. 2、Knowledge accumulation capability positively affects technology transfer performance, whereas, surprisingly, knowledge storage affects the financial performance of technology transfer. 3、The degree of organizational commitment will affects technology transfer performance. 4、Knowledge accumulation capability is affected by organizational commitment, and the level o retention commitment is negatively related to knowledge accumulation capability.

There are four purposes of this research. First, discuss whether different industries have different enterprise culture under different external environment. Second, discuss whether different implementations of knowledge management have effect on organization innovation and performance under different external environment. Third, discuss the effect of enterprise culture on organization innovation. Finally, discuss the effect of organization innovation on performance. In this research, all the surveyed enterprises are the top 1000 enterprise in Taiwan, which is also pick out according to 2004 World Magazine’s list. Total one thousand copies of survey were send, and return with one hundred and twenty-nine copies. With these returning surveys, we found the following: 1. Environment uncertainty has a positive impact on support culture, creative culture, and bureaucratic culture. It is also found that volatility environment has more positive impacts on creative culture than environment uncertainty. 2. Both degree of uncertainty and volatility of environment have positive effect on knowledge management. All three organization cultures have positive effect by knowledge management. By comparing the three cultures, creative culture has the greatest effect by knowledge management. 3. Volatility of environment, knowledge sharing, and creative culture have a positive impact on administrative and technical innovation. On the other hand, environment uncertainty, bureaucratic culture, and knowledge management also have a positive impact on administrative innovation. 4. Technical innovation has a positive impact on both either short term or long term performance. Also environment uncertainty, environment volatility, and creative culture have a positive impact on long term performance. And support culture and administrative innovation only have a positive impact on the short term performance.

Knowledge accumulation is a dynamic process, and organizations should be aware of how to accumulate the knowledge in order to cultivate core competencies and create competitive advantages. Two major parts are included in this study. The first part is the theme of industrial analysis using the method of patent analysis. The second part is the theme of quantative research to verify and quantify the evidence of research framework in this study. This study adapts theoretical literature reviews, develops pratical research framework, and designs the questionnaire to actually analyze the capability of R&D in Taiwan’s TFT-LCD equipment industry. This study also uses statistical tools to test theoretical framework for the actual industrial situation and compare the applicability of the theoretical model with the actual industrial situation. This study unveils that most patents owned by Taiwan’s TFT-LCD equipment vendors are only focused on three major non-core processes, and it is still insufficient for the current supplying capability of high value equipments in Taiwan’s TFT-LCD equipment industry. The main contributors in Taiwan''s TFT-LCD equipment industry are C SUN, Contrel Technology, USUN Technology and Gallant Precision Machining, and the firm sizes have certain relationships with respect to their R&D activities. According to the results of empirical analysis, this study shows that the external explicit knowledge has a direct impact on the knowledge accumulation of technology entity and management system, and the knowledge accumulated through the mechanism of “systemization (structure)” and “interactive coordination” would contribute to the knowledge accumulation of external knowledge in firms. In addition, the interference mechanism of knowledge accumulation has a positive correlation on firm’s knowledge accumulation. Particularly, under the effect of “firm’s knowledge environment”, not only the “interactive coordination” is obvious to firm’s knowledge accumulation, but also “technology entity and management system” and “employees’ skills/ability” are significant in affecting firm’s knowledge accumulation. In addition to the mechanism of knowledge accumulation, it is more important to build knowledge environment and influence the effect of knowledge accumulation mechanism. This study shows that the more organizations invest/cultivate the knowledge environment, the more it can obtain the goals of converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge and sharing/delivering the knowledge of employees’ valuable experiences and knowledge. Finally based on the organization’s knowledge environment, the organizational culture and work environment are formed to create a learning and innovative organization.

Full textAbstract:
The process of economic growth and its distributional e ects have major welfare consequences,
creating advanced and developing economies. Modern growth theory highlights the role of capital ac-
cumulation, human capital and technology in explaining cross-country economic and income variations.
Forefront research exploring these questions emphasizes the primary importance of the institutional
factor in determining technological progress and leading to di erent economic growth outcomes. This
thesis aims at bringing its feasible contribution to the on-going research on income inequality and eco-
nomic growth by considering the fundamental causes of structural, technological and political features
of economic organisation.
The rst part of the thesis investigates how institutions and policies, as important determinants of
economic incentives, may condition economic growth and income inequality. Based on a comprehensive
critical assessment of related literature, we rst develop a conceptual discussion on how institutional
quality may in uence the e ciency of redistribution policy speci cally associated with human capital
accumulation. We identify political rivalry as the main factor negatively a ecting the decisive role of
political institutions and consequently distorting e cient redistribution policy. Given these theoretical
insights, we next study the e ects of political rivalry on human capital accumulation and income
inequality in a framework of an endogenous growth model with elements of new political economy.
Our results suggest that while non-distortionary redistribution via public education equalizes income
levels and increases human capital accumulation, political rivalry produces negative outcomes in all
dimensions of considered economic interactions. The key conclusions of the theoretical model are then
tested in a cross-sectional empirical study. Our ndings clearly indicate that, for speci c groups of
countries with similar income and geographical location characteristics, political rivalry has indeed
a negative e ect on educational investments, individual learning choice, GDP per capita and income
inequality.
In the second part, the topics of economic growth and income inequality are investigated from
a di erent perspective, namely that of analysing recent changes in the composition of employment,
wage structure and aggregate production, which represent an important part of the process of mod-
ern economic development. More speci cally, we use a standard directed technological change model,
extended by complementarities between intermediate goods in production and internal costly invest-
ments, to examine the behaviour of economic growth rate, technological-knowledge bias, skill premium
and industrial structure. While our analysis suggests that equilibrium growth rate is directly a ected
by costly investments and complementarities, the latter also in uencing equilibrium technological-
knowledge bias and industrial structure, equilibrium skill premium is determined solely by workers'
productivities. This may imply that the persisting increase in wage inequality observed in several de-
veloped countries over the last decades may have been due to increases in productivity advantages of
skilled workers favoured by technological development. We then extend our analysis by quantitatively
associating empirical facts on the technology and skill structure to the degree of gross substitutabil-
ity/complementarity between technological goods. This estimation exercise also allows us to quantify
the long-run relationship between the Tobin-q and both the degree of complementarity between tech-
nology goods and the complexity e ect of horizontal R&D, through the impact of the last two factors
on the long-run economic growth rate. Our estimation and calibration exercise suggests the existence of
a moderate degree of gross complementarity between technological goods and of an elastic relationship
between the Tobin-q and key technology parameters.
