Some evidence in the area of make-buy decisions for new technologies suggests that it is a good idea for a company to pursue a fairly rigorous ''make'' policy in the early days of a potentially disruptive innovation. Other studies prescribe exactly the opposite, promoting instead a ''buy''...

Eine Analyse des Wirtschaftsstandortes Deutschland zeigt die enorme Bedeutung von Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) sowie Ausbildung und Qualifikation für die Sicherung der technologischen Leistungs- und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Deutschlands im globalen Wettbewerb. Die Ausgaben für Forschung und...

Computational Chemistry Technologien (CCT) stellen Technologien dar, mit deren Hilfe molekulare Systeme und deren Verhalten beschrieben werden können. Es handelt sich um wissensintensive und synergetische F&E-Prozesstechnologien, die keiner bisher erforschten Technologieklasse zugeordnet werden...

Die Dissertation beleuchtet aus ?konomischer Sicht die Thematik des Klimawandels mit dem Ziel, Ans?tze einer technologischen Kooperation zu identifizieren, die zu einer Verbesserung der Nutzen-Kosten-Relation in internationalen Klimaschutzverhandlungen beitragen k?nnten. Besonderer Wert wird...

This paper examines the preferences of a foreign firm and awelfare-maximizing host country government over two modes of foreigndirect investment (FDI): de novo entry by the foreign firm andacquisition of the domestic incumbent. Two crucial features of the modelare the presence of network...

The principal objective of the Central Vacuum Unit (CVU) CO{sub 2} Huff-n-Puff (H-n-P) project is to determine the feasibility and practicality of the technology in a waterflooded shallow shelf carbonate environment. The results of parametric simulation of the CO{sub 2} H-n-P process, coupled...

Dr. Mock began the session by paying tribute to Dr. Myron Dorfman, Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Texas, who had just passed away after a protracted illness. Dr. Dorfman, more than other any individual, was responsible for bringing the geopressured-geothermal...

Technology transfer to the industrial sector for geopressured-geothermal technology has included diverse strategies, with successes and obstacles or roadblocks. Numerical data are tabulated in terms of response to the various strategies. Strategy categories include the following: feasibility...

The government electronics community faces the exciting challenge of entering into new of types of partnerships with the commercial electronics industry. Past interactions have been based primarily on the needs of government. Future interactions will be based more on the needs of industry,...
