In this chapter, a sample of firms active in the Spanish information and communication technology sector during 2003-2014 is analyzed to assess whether foreign subsidiaries are more prone than domestic firms to cooperate for innovation with local partners and ascertain which type of partners they prefer. Results of an econometric model show that foreign subsidiaries are more likely than unaffiliated domestic firms to cooperate for innovation with local partners but not more likely than domestic business groups, even when the size of the firm, the obstacles it faces to innovate, and other factors that may influence cooperation are all controlled. Statistical tests show that foreign subsidiaries prefer partnerships across the value chain. This preference is compared to that of domestic companies.

Information And Communication

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) hold great potential for promoting socioeconomic development in many developing countries. ICT has not significantly percolated down the economic value chain in these countries for various reasons. The example of Singapore is used to show how governments can make a difference in entrenching a vibrant ICT sector through appropriate policies, programs, and other intervention instruments. It is suggested that aspects of the Singapore experience would be useful for other developing countries.

First Time

This paper characterises the joint impacts of intra- and extra-organisational contexts on innovation development during the socio-economic crisis in Portugal. The characterisation of these contexts in 309 firms of the Information and Communication Technology services sector allowed for the identification of two profiles via a cluster analysis. These were mostly discriminated by financial resources and clients and not by science and technology activities. Subsequently, these profiles were related to innovation, top managers’ perceptions and expectations for the future. The data shows that under favourable contexts, innovation increases, the firm is perceived to drive innovation and confidence in the companies’ future emerges. In more unfavourable scenarios, innovation is compromised, the environment is perceived to block innovation and confidence is halted. This paper establishes companies’ profiles for the first time in Portugal and suggests that intra- and extra-organisational contexts have to be jointly tackled to foster present innovation and promote future activities.

Sekolah Bali Kiddy merupakan salah satu lembaga yang bergerak dalam bidang pendidikan saat ini telah menggunakan sistem infomasi dan teknologi informasi (SI/TI) sebagai salah satu bagian dari bisnis proses lembaga. Strategi SI/TI sangat diperlukan untuk memudahkan pengelolaan informasi yang dibutuhkan dalam meningkatkan daya saing. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut diperlukan sebuah perencanaan strategis SI/TI agar strategi yang dibuat sesuai dengan visi, misi dan tujuan dari perusahaan. Perencanaan strategis SI/TI pada penelitian ini menggunakan kerangka model Ward dan Peppard yang dimulai dari proses analisis kondisi lingkungan bisnis eksternal dan internal, serta lingkungan SI/TI eksternal dan internal. Proses analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik analisis SWOT, analisis Value Chain, analisis Five Force Porter, analisis PEST, analisis Critical Success Factor (CSF), analisis trend teknologi dan matriks Mc Farlan’s Srategic Grid. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah rencana strategis SI/TI yang meliputi strategi SI berupa portofolio aplikasi mendatang yang dapat menunjang bisnis proses, strategi manajemen SI/TI berupa usulan pembentukan bagian Information and Communication Technology (ICT), dan Strategi TI berupa usulan perangkat dan infrastruktur untuk menunjang aplikasi sistem yang direncanakan. Rencana strategi SI/TI dituangkan ke dalam bentuk roadmap sebagai bahan acuan implementasi bagi Sekolah Bali Kiddy di masa mendatang.

Minimum Quality

This chapter examines the organizational capabilities that firms develop in order to influence and adapt to standards. Standards are voluntary rules or guidelines developed by standard-setting organizations or consortia in order to promote compatibility/interoperability, minimum quality, variety reduction, and information. The authors argue that firms develop specific capabilities for assessing which emerging standards are likely to become dominant, and in order to successfully influence the development of new standards. The argument is illustrated by a case study of a global player in the information and communication technology sector.
