We gather detailed data on organizational practices and IT use at 253 firms to examine the hypothesis that external focus – the ability of a firm to detect and therefore respond to changes in its external operating environment – increases returns to information technology, especially when combined with decentralized decision-making. First, using survey-based measures, we find that external focu...

ABSTRACT A firm’s environmental performance and productivity result from decisions regarding input use technological management abatement strategy adoption. Using a sample of chemical using/manufacturing/emitting facilities, how these choices are made their impacts on output examined. Not only adoption driven by different motives, system discourages in the succeeding period. Further, d...

Abstract This paper deals with the development and experimental verification of a low-power AC/DC converter. The proposed solution is aimed at sub 0.5 W output power domain, commonly encountered in applications such as always-on wireless sensing nodes. To implement converter topology, prototype application specific integrated circuit was designed manufactured high voltage 0.35 µm CMOS technolog...

Based on the analysis of dynamic interrelationships enterprise innovation factors according to system dynamics, we build a causality diagram and flow graph model ecosystem study potential business value creation paths focusing technological innovation. The is simulated using data from high-tech enterprises. Our results show that can reasonably simulate operation ecosystem. Two are identified: (...

introduction the exposure of human beings to ionizing radiation from natural sources is a continuing and inescapable feature of life on earth. for most individuals, this exposure exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. materials and methods in this study, the annual effective dose in high level environmental background radiation areas (hlebras) of northern city of ramsar in iran was de...
