Full textAbstract:
Dans le premier chapitre de la thèse, je m'intéresse à l'impact de la politique du contrôle des concentrations sur le choix de fusion d'une firme qui peut soit effectuer une fusion nationale, soit effectuer une fusion internationale. Un enseignement du premier chapitre est que la politique du contrôle des concentrations doit prendre en compte les fusions futures qui peuvent être engendrées par une fusion initiale. Par exemple, le scénario d'une sortie du marché étranger par fusion suite à une fusion internationale non profitable. Une politique du contrôle des concentrations trop sévère pourrait en fait agir comme une barrière à la sortie et donc décourager les fusions internationales. Dans le deuxième chapitre la thèse, j'examine l'impact de la compétition entre une firme privée et des firmes publiques sur les prix et l'investissement dans de nouvelles infrastructures.Du fait de fonctions objectifs différentes, la firme privée en monopole choisira le prix de monopole alors que la firme publique nationale choisit un prix permettant des subventions croisées entre zones à bas coûts et zones à coûts élevés. Le prix d’une firme publique locale dépend de la zone où elle est située. En monopole, la firme publique nationale a le niveau de couverture le plus élevé, alors que le niveau de couverture de la firme privée et des firmes publiques locales est identique. En duopole, les prix sont compléments stratégiques pour la firme privée et substituts stratégiques pour les firmes publiques. La compétition amène la firme privée à baisser ses prix, contrairement aux firmes publiques qui peuvent être amenées à les augmenter. Dans le troisième chapitre de la thèse, j'étudie l'impact de la compétition entre deux firmes en prix et en divulgation de données personnelles. Dans un marché biface, il y a les consommateurs d'un côté, et un courtier en données de l'autre. Je démontre que les firmes adoptent deux types de stratégies commerciales qui sont la résultante d'un arbitrage entre l'exploitation des données personnelles, le niveau données personnelles apportées par le consommateur, et la disposition à payer des consommateurs. Si les consommateurs ont une disposition à payer faible, les firmes emploient une stratégie impliquant des prix bas (voire négatifs) et un niveau de divulgation de données élevé. Si les consommateurs ont une disposition à payer élevée, les firmes emploient une stratégie impliquant des prix élevés et un niveau de divulgation de données nul. En single-homing, une fusion augmente le pouvoir de marché et n'a pas d'impact sur le niveau de divulgation de données. Avec le multi-homing, une fusion a pour impact de diminuer les prix et d'augmenter le niveau de divulgation de données si les firmes ne peuvent pas monétiser les données des multi-homers<br>In the first chapter of the thesis, I study how merger policy affects the choice between in-market and cross-border merging. An insight of the first chapter is that the merger policy should consider subsequent mergers triggered by an initial decision to merge, which here corresponds to the scenario of an exit-by-merger after a failed cross-border merger. In the second chapter of the thesis, I examine the impact of competition between a private firm and public firms on prices and investment in new infrastructures. An insight from this analysis is that due to distinct objective functions, the private firm charges the monopoly price when it is a monopoly, while the national public firm charges a price such that it cross-subsidizes between low-cost and high-cost areas. Local public firms charge prices contingent on the investment cost in their own area. In monopoly, the national public has the largest coverage, whereas the local public firms cover the same areas as the private firm. In mixed duopoly, prices are strategic complements for the private firm and are strategic substitutes for public firms. Competition leads the private firm to set lower prices, while public firms may charge higher prices. In the third chapter of the thesis, I investigate the impact of competition between two firms in prices and information disclosure levels. In a two-sided market, there are consumers on one side, and a monopoly data broker on the other side. An insight from this analysis is that firms adopt two types of business strategies due to a trade-off between the exploitation of consumer information, the level of information provision, and consumer valuations. If consumer valuations are sufficiently low, firms engage in disclosure of consumer information (low-privacy regime) and charge low (even negative) prices. In contrast, if consumer valuations are sufficiently high, firms do not engage in disclosure of consumer information (highprivacy regime) and always charge positive prices. If consumers single-purchase, a merger to monopoly increases market power but is privacy-neutral. With multi-purchasing, a merger to monopoly decreases prices and privacy levels if firms are unable to monetize multi-purchaser information

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation consists of three essays in empirical industrial organization with applications in U.S. airline and automobile industries. Chapter 1 motivates the aim of this dissertation with a brief summary of the main goals and findings of the subsequent chapters.
The main focus of this dissertation is to higlight the changing environments in the U.S. airline and automobile industries in recent years and investigate their implications for the nature of industry competitiveness. Following the recession of 2000 and post 9/11 events, the U.S. airline industry has undergone major restructuring which has defined the way airlines compete today. Chapter 2 of this dissertation explores the impact of the presence of Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) on consumer welfare in this newly restructured market environment. Previous studies on LCC competition have not addressed the welfare issue and have only been limited to impact of LCC entry on average airfare. Departing from previous literature, this question is posed using a discrete choice model of demand for differentiated products. In chapter 3 we use a structural oligopoly model for differentiated products similar to chapter 2 to unveil the nature of conduct that exists in markets with endpoints which qualify as hubs of legacy carriers. In contrast to previous literature on airline hub market conduct, this chapter investigates the nature of conduct that exists in markets defined exclusively by network carrier hubs as a whole group incorporating product differentiation in the model framework. Finally chapter 4 uses the same methodological framework outlined in chapter 3 to explore the importance of frequent incidence of manufacturer incentives in shaping market conduct in the automobile industry. Unlike past literature on automobile market conduct, this is achieved using proprietary dealer level average transaction price data obtained from J.D. Power and Associates (JDPA) with a focus on the Big Three automakers. Specifically we use the widely successful Employee Discount Pricing (EDP) promotional program of 2005, the first of its kind, as a backdrop to identify changes in the nature of short run conduct among the Big Three that might be signalled by such promotional programs.<br>Ph.

Cultivating the spatial relationship in between utility and sculpture generates my process. I deconstruct, reconstruct and assemble objects; bringing to them a new perspective that simplifies the structure while enhancing the surface and the unassuming nature of the forms.
Developing vessels for drinking or pouring serves as the foundation for my study of materials, architectural foundations and elements of utilitarian objects. The functional purpose of the objects becomes minimized due to the structure beneath the surface and the constructed role of the base blurring distinctions between function and form.

L'objectif de cette étude consiste à concevoir un système d'aide à la décision (maquette) sur le choix des procédés à appliquer pour le traitement des effluents industriels. Deux secteurs d'activité ont été considérés dans notre cas, à savoir les industries agro-alimentaires et les industries de traitement de surfaces. La mise en œuvre de ce système d'aide à la décision a été réalisée grâce à un outil informatique (deux logiciels) base sur une approche neuronale. Le premier logiciel, « DATAMIND », permet l'analyse et le traitement des données et le second, « INTELLISPHERE », permet la génération et la visualisation des systèmes à base de connaissances. La maquette réalisée sur les deux filières industrielles a montré que la mise au point d'un tel outil semblait possible. De plus, à travers cette étude de faisabilité, nous avons réussi à mettre au point une méthodologie. Cette méthodologie, développée au départ pour les effluents provenant des industries agro-alimentaires, qui a été étendue par la suite au secteur du traitement de surfaces et a donné des résultats satisfaisants.

Full textAbstract:
Dynamic complexity occurs in every social structure. Film industry, as a type of creative industries, constitutes a dynamic environment where uncertainty is at high levels. This complexity of the environment renders the more traditional operations research models somewhat ineffective, and thus, requires a dynamic analysis. In this study, a model showing the dynamics of film exhibition is given. The interactions within and between the theatrical and the DVD sales channels are implemented by the model. Later on, the possible effects of piracy to the model are discussed, using the inferences obtained by the created model. The model is examined with scenario and sensitivity analysis. All the modeling studies are done with a commercial dynamic systems modeling software. The model also can be extended for the whole film industry, or for some other creative industries like the publishing industry.

Aquesta tesi analitza i identifica quins són els factors que faciliten la localització i aglomeració de les indústries creatives a nivell local i les compara amb les de la resta d’activitats econòmiques. Aquesta tesi contribueix a la literatura de les indústries creatives a través de l'anàlisi de les pautes de localització d'aquestes indústries tant des d'una perspectiva d’anàlisi tradicional a nivell municipal com introduint algunes innovacions quant a l'ús de la econometria espacial, els mètodes basats en la distància i els Sistemes d’Informació Geogràfica (SIG) gràcies a l’accés a dades micro-geogràfiques. L'aplicació empírica se centra en els municipis catalans per al període 2002-2007, en l'Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona i, finalment, en la ciutat de Barcelona per al període 2006-2015. Tot i que els determinants de localització de les indústries creatives no són tan diferents dels de les no creatives, els principals resultats d'aquesta tesi confirmen la naturalesa específica d'aquestes indústries i la seva major necessitat d'aglomeració, especialment per a les indústries creatives basades en un coneixement més simbòlic. A més, aquesta tesi corrobora l'associació positiva entre les indústries creatives i el creixement econòmic, en termes de creació d’empreses i de productivitat.

This thesis contributes to the literature on creative industries by analysing the location behaviour of these industries both from a traditional analysis at municipality level and by introducing some innovations regarding the use of spatial econometrics, distance-based methods and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) thanks to the access to micro-geographic data. The empirical application focuses on Catalan municipalities for the period 2002-2007, on the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona and on the city of Barcelona for the period 2006-2015. Main findings of this thesis show that, despite the fact that creative industries location determinants are not so different from those of non-creative industries, the specific nature of these industries and their greater need for agglomeration is confirmed, especially for symbolic-based creative industries. Moreover, this thesis confirms the positive association between creative industries and economic growth – in terms of firm creation or productivity. Finally, it also suggests that the ability to attract creative activities and employment to an area strongly depends on the existing creative milieu and the cultural path dependence of the area. Based on the assumption that creative industries have great potential in terms of, for example, economic dynamism, urban regeneration or city marketing, results of this thesis allows having a series of recommendations for public authorities willing to support the diversification of economic activity for the purpose of enhancing their competitiveness in an economic and social context increasingly global.

Full textAbstract:
<p>I denna rapport framgår vilken energibesparing som är möjlig i vissa processer hos Ankarsrum Industries. Hypotesen var att sänka företagets energikostnader med 30 %.</p><p>Företagets analyserade stödprocesser omfattar tryckluft, belysning och ventilation och lokalkomfort. Tryckluftsproduktionen kostar idag 259 000 kronor om året. Företaget har ett tryckluftsläckage som uppgår till 113 000 kronor. Om läckage tätas och en ny kompressor investeras kan företaget spara 160 000 kronor per år.</p><p>Belysningen i företagets lokaler består av flera olika typer av armaturer med varierande kvalitet. Ofta är armaturerna utan reflektor vilket innebär att ljusutbytet inte blir optimalt. Med effektivare armaturer, närvarovakter och sektionering kan företaget spara 108 000 kronor per år.</p><p>Det finns omkring tio stycken ventilationsanläggningar med till- och frånluft. På vissa förekommer värmeväxlare. Företaget har även många mindre frånluftsfläktar som punktutsug. Dessa har i nuläget ingen värmeåtervinning. Installation av effektivare värmeväxlare och bättre tidsstyrning av fläktanläggningarna ger en besparing på 639 000 kronor om året.</p><p>Ankarsrum Industries har i dagsläget ventilations- och transmissionsförluster i dörrar och fönster till en kostnad av 149 000 kronor per år. Företaget rekommenderas att byta ut portar och fönster i produktionslokalerna till de som är mer energieffektiva.</p><p>I nuläget har företaget ett effektabonnemang på 1 900 kW och ett på 20 kW. Ankarsrum Industries rekommenderas att avsluta abonnemanget för svetsarna på 20 kW och ansluta dem till produktionsabonnemanget. Företaget bör även ha som målsättning att sänka det befintliga effektabonnemanget till 1 700 kW. Vidare bör företaget anmäla sig till PFE (Program För Energieffektivisering). Det kan innebära reduktion av energiskatten. Ytterligare information ges på www.stem.se. Med dessa åtgärder kan Ankarsrum Industries minska sina energikostnader för produktionen till 685 600 kronor per år. Detta innebär att företaget kan sänka energikostnaderna med 1 281 300 kronor per år. Således uppfylldes hypotesen.</p><p>Utöver de föreslagna åtgärderna i denna rapport kan företaget minska uppvärmningskostnaderna med cirka 1 900 000 kronor per år genom att investera i en ny flispanna och ställa av el- och oljepannorna. Pay-offtiden för denna åtgärd är cirka 1,3 år (Bondesson och Edfeldt 2005).</p>

It has particular reference to the investment linked to the scientific and technological knowledge production, in the productive system, as the main factor of access the mastering and the suiting of new-technologies with the concurrential advantages they produce. Biotechnologies are transversal technologies with high scientific content. Their development promotes the emergence of new activities, the "bioindustries", which conceive and produce production goods and services. This greatly explains the strategies of firms concerned with biotechnologies. Moreover, some barriers to entry result from specific bioindustries conditions of production. In this way, the technical and economic capacities of food industries firms may limit their access to this kind of activities

Grice, Steven J. "Optical fibre sensors and their applications in the industrial weighing and aerospace industries." Thesis, Aston University, 2010. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/15208/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the design, fabrication and testing of novel grating based Optical Fibre Sensor (OFS) systems being interrogated using “off the shelf” interrogation systems, with the eventual development of marketable commercial systems at the forefront of the research. Both in the industrial weighing and aerospace industries, there has been a drive to investigate the feasibility of using optical fibre sensors being deployed where traditionally their electrical or mechanical counterparts would traditionally have been. Already, in the industrial weighing industry, commercial operators are deploying OFS-based Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems. Likewise, in the aerospace industry, OFS have been deployed to monitor such parameters as load history, impact detection, structural damage, overload detection, centre of gravity and the determination of blade shape. Based on the intrinsic properties of fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) and Long Period Fibre Gratings (LPFGs), a number of novel OFS-based systems have been realised. Experimental work has shown that in the case of static industrial weighing, FBGs can be integrated with current commercial products and used to detect applied loads. The work has also shown that embedding FBGs in e-glass, to form a sensing patch, can result in said patches being bonded to rail track, forming the basis of an FBG-based WIM system. The results obtained have been sufficiently encouraging to the industrial partner that this work will be progressed beyond the scope of the work presented in this thesis. Likewise, and to the best of the author’s knowledge, a novel Bragg grating based systems for aircraft fuel parameter sensing has been presented. FBG-based pressure sensors have been shown to demonstrate good sensitivity, linearity and repeatability, whilst LPFG-based systems have demonstrated a far greater sensitivity when compared to FBGs, as well the advantage of being potentially able to detect causes of fuel adulteration based on their sensitivity to refractive index (RI). In the case of the LPFG-based system, considerable work remains to be done on the mechanical strengthening to improve its survivability in a live aircraft fuel tank environment. The FBG system has already been developed to an aerospace compliant prototype and is due to be tested at the fuel testing facility based at Airbus, Filton, UK. It is envisaged by the author that in both application areas, continued research in this area will lead to the eventual development of marketable commercial products.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis les années 2000, l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs issus des industries de lacommunication a été suivie de profonds bouleversements au sein des industries de la musique. L’hypothèse développée dans cette recherche suggère que, par l’intermédiaire d’un mouvement d’influence réciproque des musiciens et des acteurs de la musique, s’opère un déplacement vers la création du centre de gravité de l'industrialisation de la musique. L’adaptation des logiques socioéconomiques des musiciens, en phase avec les stratégies industrielles des acteurs de l’intermédiation numérique, indique la montée en importance des dimensions de rationalisation et d’idéologisation au sein des mondes de la musique. La démarche méthodologique adoptée s’appuie sur une analyse des discours et des pratiques socio-économiques des musiciens, au moyen d’une série d’entretiens semi-directifs réalisés en France et au Royaume-Uni. Les résultats de ces analyses mettent notamment en lumière chez les « musiciens connectés » étudiés, la disparité des pratiques, des compétences et des représentations à l’égard des activités de diffusion et de communication sur internet. Les disparités de ces pratiques font alors ressortir les enjeux relatifs à la construction de la figure contemporaine du musicien. Mots-clés : théories des industries culturelles, industries de la musique, industries de la communication, internet, Web 2.0, genres musicaux, pratiques communicationnelles, compétences, représentations sociales, rock, musiques électroniques, France, Royaume-Uni<br>Since the 2000s and the emergence of new players from the communication industries, profound changes have occurred within the music industry. The hypothesis developed in this research suggests that, following a movement of mutual influence between musicians and economic players, there has been a shift in emphasis towards the industrialization of music, which is now concerning the creation itself. The adaptation of the musicians’ socio-economic logics, in line with the industrial strategies of the actors of the digital world, indicates the growing importance of rationalization and ideologization in the music worlds. The methodological approach is based on the analysis of discourses and socio-economic practices of musicians, using semi-structured interviews made in France and the United Kingdom. The results of these analyses highlights the the great disparity of the practices, skills and representations of these ‘connected musicians’, with regard to dissemination and communication activities on the internet. These practices’ disparities outlines the issues relating to the construction of the musician’s contemporary figure

Full textAbstract:
Dans une contribution a l'analyse des effets economiques d'une politique de regulation de l'offre par application de quotas, nos recherches en economie industrielles s'interessent specifiquement a l'industrie de transformation dont le droit d'approvisionnement est limite. La these defendue consiste a montrer, a partir de trois arguments majeurs, que le contingentement d'un facteur de production ne fige pas l'industrie : - il ne bloque pas la dynamique industrielle, mais avive la concurrence - il n'induit pas d'adaptation strategique uniforme ( par exemple la diversification), mais autorise une diversite de comportements de la part des firmes - il ne provoque pas de rupture fondamentale, mais incite les entreprises a consolider leur trajectoire strategique. A partir du cas de l'industrie laitiere de l'ouest de la france considere comme champ d'application, a pu etre mise en evidence l'existence de trois trajectoires strategiques distinctes (domination par les couts et restructuration focalisation regionale et diversification recentrage et differenciation). Dans le prolongement des travaux de porter, nous avons tente de montrer combien l'analyse de la concurrence etait enrichie par une segmentation de l'offre en groupes strategiques, elabores avec le recours aux methodes d'analyse multidimentionnelles<br>To contribute to the analysis of the economic results obtained by a policy of input quotas regulation, our industrial economic research concentrate on converting-process enterprises for wich a supply right is under limitation. The thesis being depended here, on the basis of three major arguments will present the statement that the limitation of a production input does not immobilize industry - it does not hold back industrial motion ability but exerts a stronger competition. - it does not bring about a single strategic way of adaptation (diverting activities for instance) but the enterprises are allowed for behaviors of a large diversity. - it does not procedure basic turn-about but drive the enterprises to reinforce their strategic trajectory. From the situation of the western france dairy industry taken as our application sphere, evidence has been pointed out of three strategic trajectories existing by themselves : costs supremacy and mergers - concentrated efforts on a local market and diversionconcentration and differenciation. As a continuity to porter's work, we tried to demonstrate how competition analysis was valued by the segmentation of the offer into strategic groups worked out by means of multidimensional analysis

Cette these sur travaux s'organise autour de six textes consacres a diverses consequences de la fin de la guerre froide dans des domaines touchant a l'economie et a la technologie. Les differentes parties traitent respectivement de l'evolution des efforts et activites militaires a l'echelle mondiale, des perspectives de la technologie militaire, de la conversion des industries d'armement europeennes, de l'heritage economique de la guerre froide, de la politique de defense francaise et des consequences de la fin de la guerre froide sur les marches et les cours de matieres premieres strategiques. La premiere partie retrace la baisse des activites de defense et explique que cette baisse n'est pas correlee avec une augmentation du niveau de securite. La seconde evoque les changements du paradigme militaro-technologique, dus non seulement a la fin de la guerre froide, mais a l'obsolescence des grosses plates-formes heritees de la seconde guerre mondiale sous l'effet de la revolution micro-electronique. La partie consacree a la conversion des industries d'armement montre les difficultes de celle-ci, et presente les politiques menees dans les differents pays. Les consequences economiques de la fin de la guerre froide sont evoquees dans la partie suivante, qui compare la periode actuelle a celle des precedents apres-guerres du siecle. La partie sur la france rappelle la politique de defense menee depuis la guerre et analyse les inflexions recentes. La derniere partie est consacree a l'evolution des marches et aux perspectives des principales matieres considerees pendant la guerre froide comme strategiques<br>This thesis is devoted to the analysis of the main consequences of the end of the cold war in a number of fields related to the economy and the security. Its different parts respectively deal with the evolution of military activities at a world level, perspectives on military technology, the conversion process of arms industries, the economic legacy of the cold war, the french security policy and the consequences of the end of the cold war on markets and prices of strategic commodities. The first part presents the global decrease in military activities and explains why this fall is not correlated with an increase in global security. The second one analyses the end of the previous militaro-technological paradigm, which is related not only to the end of the cold war, but also to the obsolescence of big military platforms due to the micro-electronic revolution. A third part shows the difficulties of the conversion of military industries and presents national reaching to this problem. It is followed by an analysis of the economic consequences of the end of the cold war, which send more to be underestimated. The french defense policy and its recent inflexions are then presented. The last part is devoted to the recent evolution of commodities which were considered during the cold war as <>

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of declining industries has been sparsely researched and few scholars have investigated whether firms pursue, or should pursue, growth in industries that are in decline. This study aims to find out if and how firms pursue growth when they perceive the industries in which they operate as experiencing a decline. The study also aims to examine the key factors that influence firm strategy in declining industries. We interviewed managers in firms operating in two declining industries, the Swedish retail fuel industry and the Finnish printing industry. Our finding is that the studied firms operating in these two industries are aware of the declining state of their industries. However, all of them believe that their respective industries will transform instead of perish. Consequently, these firms pursue growth through various strategies to better position themselves within the changing conditions and declining state of their respective industries. Both internal and external factors influence firm strategy, and the factors were both industry and firm-specific. The firms studied tended to employ strategies based on their perception of their industries. In addition, the strategies were developed to both suit the current and the future industry environment. We label these strategies transformational strategies. We build on this new strategic option and construct a guiding framework that aims to facilitate firms’ strategic decision-making in declining industries.

Des recherches fondatrices à l'inscription théorique du programme de recherches, c'est un cheminement institutionnel, scientifique et géographique. Toujours il y a un objet : le territoire, parce qu'il permet, suscite et cristallise toutes les interactions et dynamiques sociales et économiques, industrielles et réticulaires... C'est l'explication du titre de ce mémoire sur mes travaux de recherche réalisés, en cours d'élaboration et en projet actuellement : " TERRITOIRES, INDUSTRIES, INNOVATIONS et RESEAUX ". Il y a aussi une démarche : l'alternance permanente entre postures inductive et hypothético-déductive. Il faut aussi une méthode. Elle consiste pour ma part à mobiliser des disciplines complémentaires ainsi que leurs outils : l'Economie Industrielle, l'Economie Territoriale, et l'Economie des Politiques Publiques. Les concepts centraux mobilisés sont ceux de territoire, d'industrie, d'innovation et de réseau. Les problématiques étudiées sont celles des mutations économiques, sociales, politiques, technologiques et territoriales contemporaines. Cette démarche est originale parce qu'elle englobe, dans une approche résolument systémique et pluridisciplinaire, les apports des regards croisés d'économistes, de sociologues et de gestionnaires. Finalement, ce programme de recherche comporte six axes de recherche : Analyse structurale et théorie de la dominance économique - Réseaux sociaux, réseaux techniques et comportements stratégiques - Réseaux institutionnels et nouvelles gouvernances - Réseaux d'infrastructures et nouveaux usages - Stratégies d'acteurs et production des territoires - Apprentissages, connaissances, compétences, ancrages.

Full textAbstract:
It has been shown in this thesis why innovations are regarded as the lifeline of engineering industries. Continuous flow of novel ideas is the source of innovations but the encouragement, creation and nurturing of such ideas requires many distinct managerial attributes. Hence, management of innovations is complex but an important area of study which is not amenable to standard analyses due to its multidisciplinary nature and dependence on a large number of intangible variables. It has been shown that proper management of innovations would involve at least three distinct but closely linked activities, namely: (a) managing people, in particular the innovators, as well as inspiring others to become innovators; (b) managing the environment so that it is conducive to innovations; and (c) managing innovative processes in order to ensure that innovations are properly nurtured, well targeted and economically implemented within clearly defined time and budgetary constraints. The thesis has been divided into eight chapters; an outline of the chapters is given below. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the subject of managing innovations in engineering industries. It sets the scene for carrying out research in this field, identifies the problems to be tackled and makes a clear statement of the aims. Chapter 2 offers a critical review of the published works relevant to the field of research covered in this thesis. The purpose of this study was to understand the state of the art approach to: (a) creating and maintaining the innovative environment; (b) inspiring and leading engineers to come up with innovative solutions for engineering problems; (c) managing the innovative processes for better efficiency. Finally, in view of the comprehensive review of the relevant published literature, this chapter justifies the aims of this research. Chapter 3 describes research methodology i. e. the procedure for conducting this programme of research. The purpose of this study was to ensure that the research programme was conducted in accordance with the scientific method as closely as practicable. For sake of clarity, chapter 4 first draws distinction between inventions, innovations and engineering design and later identifies a large number of intangible factors that influence the three principal components, i. e. innovative environment, innovators and the innovation process. It is suggested that the innovativeness of engineering companies depends on these three principal components. Hence, innovativeness may be assessed by determining the influence of each on the principal components with the help of suitable computational techniques. Two computer applications have been developed to: (a) evaluate the innovativeness of engineering organisations; and (b) analyse the risks embedded in either accepting innovative ideas or implementing innovative projects. These applications are based on questionnaires and may serve as computer aided management (CAM) tools for dealing with the multidimensional problem of managing innovations speedily and efficiently. Chapter 5 analyses the influence of factors identified in chapter 4 and uses the two aforementioned applications to survey the innovativeness of four engineering organisations for their innovativeness and evaluate two projects for the risks surrounding them. These assessments were carried in the form of six case studies. Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 present the results of the six case studies and a focused discussion of the results and other observations made during the course of this research. Chapter 8 draws conclusion from this research and proposes further work that may be carried out in order to study yet unknown factors, refine the questionnaires conduct further tests in different industrial environments to build confidence in the use of CAM Applications as tools for rapid response management of innovations in engineering industries.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2002.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>The central theme of this dissertation is that the interaction between firm characteristics and market characteristics is crucial to understanding the evolution of market structure, competition, and firm behavior. I integrate ideas from industrial organization and strategic management in an empirical examination of two innovative industries: pharmaceuticals and laser printers. Chapter 1 provides an overview of this work and discusses its broader implications. In Chapter 2, a range of econometric models for a firm's decision to launch a new pharmaceutical product in 21 OECD countries is estimated. The results suggest that the interaction between the innovating firm, drug, and target country is a critical component of profitability, and that regulations may not affect firms and products uniformly. Chapter 3 considers how entry is influenced by the characteristics of incumbent firms and other potential competitors in a subset of pharmaceutical markets. In an extension to previous structural entry papers, this work explores the effect of competing with other firms that might have an asymmetric effect on profits. Chapter 4 examines the roles of market structure, product characteristics, and firm characteristics in explaining patterns of product entry and exit in the desktop laser printer industry. I find that firms with complementary assets are less sensitive to competition from similar products than are firms without these assets. Not only do the products of complementary asset firms survive longer, but such firms are more likely to introduce new products in crowded market segments.<br>(cont.) Firms without complementary assets tend to introduce new products close to the technological frontier. However, their products exit earlier than those of complementary asset firms. These two types of firms appear to pursue different product market strategies, and the mix of both drives the product life cycle. Understanding entry and exit in these settings may provide insights into the diffusion of other new technologies, because pharmaceuticals and laser printers have a number of features in common with other industries of great interest to managers and policymakers at the moment. Thus the insights from this dissertation may be applicable to broad sectors of the economy.<br>by Margaret Kelly Kyle.<br>Ph.D.

Based on a sample of multinational companies from two different industries, Fast Moving Consumer Goods and Airline industry for the period 2009-2012, the results suggest that Cash Conversion Cycle differs between industries. Also it differs between large and smaller companies due to different accounting choices. It contributes to a better understanding about how size of the firm, inventory system, liquidity and payables impact on CCC and consequently on companies’ profitability.

New concepts in assembly technology boost our daily life in an unknown way. High end semiconductor industry today deals with functional structures down to a few nanometers. ITRS roadmap predicts an ongoing decrease of the “DRAM half pitch” over the next decade. Packaging of course is not intended to realize pitches at the nanometer scale, but has to face the challenges of integrating such semiconductor devices with smallest pitch and high pin counts into systems. Advanced techniques of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) with resolutions in volume better than 1 micrometer vixen size are urgently needed for the safety and reliability of electronic systems, especially those that are used in long living applications. The development speed of integrated circuits is still very high and is not expected to decrease in the next future. The integration density of microelectronic devices is increasing, the dimensions become smaller and the number of I/O's is getting higher. The development of new types of packages must be done with respect to reliability issues. Potential damage sources must be identified and finally avoided in the new packages.
In power electronics production the condition monitoring receives a lot of interest to avoid electrical shortcuts, dead solder joints and interface crac king. It is also desired to detect and characterize very small defects like transportation phenomenon or Kirkendall voids. For this purpose, imaging technologies with resolutions in the sub-micron range are required.

La place dominante qu'a acquise l'industrie japonaise de l'électronique grand public est incontestable et reconnue par tous. On connait également le dynamisme japonais dans le secteur du software pour les cassettes audio et vidéo vierges. Par contre, on ne sait rien ou presque de l'industrie des programmes. Or, l'audiovisuel est en même temps programmes et structures économiques; conception artistique et reproduction industrielle sont les maillons du même processus de production. A travers l'histoire, les bouleversements, la stratégie des responsables de trois secteurs audiovisuels que sont la radio-télévision, le disque et le cinéma, il s'agit de mettre en relief les véritables enjeux économiques et artistiques à l'horizon du vingt-et-unième siècle<br>The Japanese household electronic industry is generally recognized as a world-leader in its field. The same can be said about the Japanese’s audio and video blank tape market. On the other hand, almost nothing is known about the programs industry. Thus the audiovisual field contains both its programming factor and its economic structure. Both artistic conception and industrial reproduction form an integral part of the production process. By analyzing the major audiovisual mediums' (radio television, records, motion picture) history and changes, the main objective is to determine the true economic and artistic stakes of the industry in the wake of the twenty first century
