摘要：Past research (along with our experience) suggests that a firm's supply chain (i.e., value chain) plays an integral role in its ability to not only reduce cost via process innovation, but also in its ability to develop new products and services. Evidence suggests the value chain is playing an ever-more-important role, with greater prevalence of distributed product development (spanning geographic, organizational, or firm boundaries) and open innovation (performed outside the firm). We discuss ...

摘要：In this article, we look at research published over a five-year time span in the economics of information systems (IS) area in four premier journals, including Management Science, Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly, and Production and Operations Management, to identify research themes that have implications for future research in the area of Management of Technology (MOT). Through our examination of the literature, we identify three emergent themes that can be used to form foundations...

摘要：Organizational learning includes processes of creating, retaining and transferring knowledge and has implications for the performance and competitiveness of organizations. Given the knowledge-based view of resources inherent in management of technology (MOT), in this study, we adopt an organizational learning framework that considers knowledge to be embedded in three major components of organizationsmembers, tasks and toolsand the networks formed by crossing them. We present research related t...

摘要：Behavioral Operations Management explicitly considers the effects of human behavior in process performance, influenced by cognitive biases, social preferences, and cultural norms. This broadening of Operations is even more critical in the context of the Management of Technology (MOT) than in the operations of established ongoing processes, because in innovation, people do not know well which tasks they will have to perform, they are exposed to risks, and they are subject to emergent interdepen...

摘要：The introduction of digital goods in the media industry has gained a considerable amount of positive press due to superior features such as increased accessibility and portability. However, the distribution of these digital goods in conjunction with their physical analogs (i.e., printed books) has been operationally problematic for media supply chains. Specifically, the types of contracts utilized to distribute these goods such as agency models have come under fire in the press. A high profile...

摘要：Many knowledge-intensive projects such as new product and software design, research, and high technology development have flexible scope and involve co-production between a client and a vendor. In such projects, it is often challenging to estimate how much progress can be achieved within a certain time window or how much time may be needed to achieve a certain degree of progress, especially because the client and vendor often adjust their efforts as a function of the project's progress, the ti...

摘要：Idea generation and selection are fundamental activities in innovation. Scholars in many disciplines have written about these activities, addressing diverse perspectives. In this study, we synthesize the research findings most applicable to the management of technology. First, we present findings on the process of idea generation: the importance of problem recognition and the many decisions made in organizing the effort. Second, we present findings about the process of idea selection, focusing...

摘要：We analyze trade-offs in the organization of public safety networks when network assets are distributed across districts and a district values network assets in its own and other districts. Comparing centralized, decentralized, and mixed organization forms, we capture two critical properties: interoperability among distributed technology-based network assets and the ability of districts to opt-in or opt-out of the centralized form. We model the provision of public safety networks, where networ...

摘要：This thought piece represents an opportunity to integrate creativity and operations management (OM) research, and in particular the management of technology (MOT), to stimulate thinking and drive research across disciplines. Specifically, we discuss how there is an inherent tension when considering how work is organized and performed given that the majority of today's jobs require a certain degree of following routinized procedures, while some level of creativity is desirable as well. Therefor...

摘要：Brand commitment and the risk of product failure play an important role in the timing of upgrades for a durable product in the presence of stochastic technology advancements. Higher brand commitment makes a firm less vulnerable to sales erosion in an incumbent product due to a technology lag. However, the firm is more susceptible to profit loss from the risk of a failed product. We show that under these circumstances, a firm's optimal upgrade strategy is characterized by a threshold policy bas...
