with regard to the importance of technological developments, senior enterprise managers should be aware of their organization's technological capabilities, changes and developments in the world, and also have information from their rivals' efforts in achieving new technologies, to be in line of their organization's technology developments. therefore a technological needs assessment model, is de...

The paper investigates cross-country differences in technology in a large sample of developed and developing economies over the 1990s. The empirical analysis indicates the existence of three technology clubs with markedly different levels of technological development: advanced, followers and marginalized countries. The technology clubs also differ with respect to their dynamics over the 1990s. ...

Let {X,Xn;n ∈ Z } be a sequence of i.i.d. real-valued random variables, and Sn ∑ k≤n Xk , n ∈ Z . Convergence rates of moderate deviations are derived; that is, the rates of convergence to zero of certain tail probabilities of the partial sums are determined. For example, we obtain equivalent conditions for the convergence of the series ∑ n b n ψ 2 a n P{|Sn| ≥ a n φ a n }, where a n n1 1 · · ·...

This paper examines how telecommunications regulation in Hong Kong and Singapore has evolved since the 1970s and in particular, how the boundaries between the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors have been increasingly blurred as the two cities have responded to technical convergence. By analysing the telecommunications regulation development in Hong Kong and Singapore, this paper argues...

This article investigates whether firms react to a radical technological substitution threat by a deliberate acceleration of innovation in their existing technology – the ‘sailing ship effect’. It has been argued that the effect is both significant and widespread and warrants a reexamination of our assumptions about the working of the competitive process (Rosenberg 1972). Reexamination of two c...

The Chinese Enterprise entered in the transnational enterprise and the supply chain by the way of OEM(original equipment manufacture), the things made in China like the electric appliance、 clothes、toy, the productions have occupied the important share in the global market, but this is still insufficient to cause the Chinese enterprise to enter the transnational enterprise's ranks ,because the C...

Measure spaces, measurable functions and positive measures, integration, convergence*. Examples. 1) fn(x) = n−1χ(0,n)(x), 2) fn(x) = χ(n,n+1)(x), 3) fn(x) = nχ[0,1/n](x), 4) L1 convergent but oscillating. Definition. pointwise convergence, uniform convergence, and convergence in Lp . Definition. We say that { fn} of measurable complex-valued functions on (X ,M ,μ) is Cauchy in measure if for ev...
