Internationalization Process and Technological Capability Trajectory of Iguaçu

Analyzing Internationalization, Technological Development and Sustainable Firm Growth

Firms use internationalization to access external resources to exploit technological knowledge or explore new market. However they face the paradox whether to build strong resources commitment to new foreign markets or continue resources allocations in other domains in existing markets. In this paper, we examine how newly listed firms overcome the paradox and initiate international activities a...

Extending the technological capability of turning operation

The main goal of this paper is to compensate the elastic deformations of the technological system in order to achieve maximum cross sectional accuracy and productivity of turning operation with minimum cost. This study was based on developing of mechanical adaptive system (MAS) for accuracy control by dynamic adjustment of the tool position during processing. The dynamic characteristic of compo...

Process capability improvement of an engine connecting rod machining process

Statistical process control is an excellent quality assurance tool to improve the quality of manufacture and ultimately scores on end-customer satisfaction. SPC uses process monitoring charts to record the key quality characteristics (KQCs) of the component in manufacture. This paper elaborates on one such KQC of the manufacturing of a connecting rod of an internal combustion engine. Here th...

The Internationalization of R&D and its Offshoring Process

Transnational corporations (TNCs) are playing a major role in global R&D, not only through activities in their home countries but also increasingly abroad. However, the process of R&D offshoring is not yet discussed thoroughly. Based on in-depth case study on Agilent China Communications Operation, this paper presents a stage model for theorizing the R&D offshoring process. This stage model out...
