Shanghai Energy Corporation—SHEnergy Group, a major Chinese enterprise in energy provision and the development of continuous improvements in energy conservation within urban development, is undertaking a major initiative in establishing the Shanghai International Energy Innovation Centre (SIEIC). Within the programme, study visits to London and Cambridge in the UK led to a decision to seek close collaboration with established and mature centres of excellence in technology transfer and the support of new company development and scale up, providing the rapid transfer of methodology and process and in addition to establishing longer term connections and relationships enabling the identification, curation, funding and eventual adoption of promising new technology from Cambridgexf and other UK and Western centres by SIEIC—in ways bringing benefits to all parties.

Measuring Efficiency

Business incubators can play a major role in helping to turn a business idea into a technology-based organization that is economically efficient. However, there is a shortage in the literature regarding the efficiency evaluation and productivity evolution of the new technology-based firms (NTBFs) in the incubation scope. This study develops a model based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology, which allows the incubated NTBFs to evaluate and improve the efficiency of their management. Moreover, the Malmquist index is used to examine productivity change. The index is decomposed into multiple components to give insights into the root sources of productivity change. The proposed model was applied in a case study with 13 NTBFs incubated. From that study, we conclude that inefficient firms invest excessively in research and development (R&D), and, on average, firms have a productivity growth in the period of study.

Empirical Context

This study’s objective is to understand the industrial and technological context involved in the offset policy and technology transfer developed in Brazilian public healthcare. Initially, the acquisition of linear accelerators for oncology treatments seemed to be a solution for the problem of long waiting lines in the Brazilian Single Health System (SUS - Sistema Único de Saúde), but the reality was different. Through the methodological procedure of a case study at a hospital renowned for its oncology treatments in the south of the country, it was possible to elucidate its ability to manage the public investment in relation to the industrial and technological context. The relevant findings show that, even with the limitations of the commercial agreement, the hospital at hand was able to, through knowledge, mitigate the difficulties of the offset policy and carry out the technology transfer with ease, due to its familiarity with the new technology. Through this analysis, based on the empirical context, it was possible to summarize the main benefits and setbacks that arise from the strategic and operational levels of the commercial agreement, both at its initial and final stages. This study hopes to spark new investigations on the topic in order to comprehend and intervene in different contexts and situations.

Decision Making Processes

The dynamic business environment is seen by many as requiring a significant change in our thinking about leadership. Shared leadership is one alternative to the 'classic' vertical model and implies that either no individual performs all of the leadership functions or that within an organisation, there is a set of individuals who collectively perform such functions. This emerging model of leadership is seen to be of particular relevance to the management of new ventures; however, both the construct of shared leadership and leadership within new ventures remain under-researched areas. This paper reports the results of a pilot study that employed a case study approach to analyse the factors integral to the appointment of a CEO, the criteria upon which founders and CEOs make their decisions and the process by which decisions are made after a CEO has been appointed.

Current supply chain methods are having difficulties in resolving problems arising from the lack of trust in supply chains. The root reason lies in two challenges brought to the traditional mechanism: self-interests of supply chain members and information asymmetry in production processes. Blockchain is a promising technology to address these problems. The key objective of this paper is to present qualitative analysis for blockchain in supply chain as the decision-making framework to implement this new technology. The analysis method used Val IT business case framework, validated by the expert judgements. The further study needs to be elaborated by either the existing organization that use blockchain or assessment by the organization that will use blockchain to improve their supply chain management.
