Purpose: This study tries to examine how a company utilizes knowledge integration mechanisms (KIMs) to achieve the success of product innovation in a new product development (NPD)

The main purpose of this survey paper is to point out some very recent developments on Simpson’s inequality for strongly extended s-convex function. Firstly, the concept of strongly extended s-convex function is introduced. Next a new identity is also established. Finally, by this identity and Hölder’s inequality, some new Simpson type for the product of strongly extended s-convex function are ...

Steve Simpson was born and grew up in Australia. After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Queensland, he travelled to London where he undertook his PhD on locust feeding physiology. Steve then spent 22 years in Oxford, fi rst in Experimental Psychology and then in the Department of Zoology and the Natural History Museum, before being enticed back to Australia in 2005. Toge...

In this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. Then, we utilize them to solve delay differential equations and time-delay system. The method is based upon e...

The impact of supply chain integration on new product development has been very well studied in literature. However, little literature examines the relationship between supplier integration and customer integration when they influence new product performance. This study aims to explore the complicated relationships among supplier integration, customer integration and new product performance via...

Numerical integration methods are used to approximate the definite integral of a function. Various methods exist such as the Midpoint, Trapezoidal and Simpson Rules. The different methods that exist tend to offer a tradeoff between simplicity and accuracy. Simpson’s method is the most accurate of the aforementioned methods and is used in the LV2 INS calculations. Simpson’s method is one that as...
