A pragmatic view of knowledge and boundaries: Boundary objects in new product development

by Paul R. Carlile , 2002
"... This study explores the premise that knowledge in new product development proves both a barrier to and a source of innovation. To understand the problematic nature of knowledge and the boundaries that result, an ethnographic study was used to understand how knowledge is structured differently across ..."

Performance Pay and Productivity

by Edward P. Lazear - AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW , 2000
"... Much of the theory in personnel economics relates to effects of monetary incentives on output, but the theory was untested because appropriate data were unavailable. A new data set for the Safelite Glass Corporation tests the predictions that average productivity will rise, the firm will attract a m ..."

Application of the New Production Philosophy to Construction

by Lauri Koskela, Lauri Koskela , 1992
"... The background and development of the new production philosophy are presented. The conceptual basis of the traditional and the new production philosophies, as applied in manufacturing, are examined. The traditional conceptual basis of construction is criticized, and an initial new interpretation of ..."

Quantifying the Benefits of New Products: The Case of the Minivan

by Amil Petrin , 2002
"... This paper proposes a technique for obtaining more precise estimates of demand and supply curves when one is constrained to market-level data. The technique allows one to augment market share data with information relating consumer demographics to the characteristics of the products they purchase. T ..."

The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom

by Yochai Benkler , 2007
"... This is a visionary book written by a man on a mission. It articulates one possible answer to the question of what might come after the proprietary-based knowledge-based economy that currently exists in advanced countries. Benkler is professor of law at Yale Law School and one of the most ardent pro ..."

proponents of the open source movement and the information commons approach. He argues that a new form of economy might be emerging, i.e. the “networked information economy”, in which nonmarket and nonproprietary commons-based peer production (i.e. “social production”) and exchange of information, knowledge

Maximizing the Spread of Influence Through a Social Network

by David Kempe - In KDD , 2003
"... Models for the processes by which ideas and influence propagate through a social network have been studied in a number of domains, including the diffusion of medical and technological innovations, the sudden and widespread adoption of various strategies in game-theoretic settings, and the effects of ..."

of “word of mouth ” in the promotion of new products. Recently, motivated by the design of viral marketing strategies, Domingos and Richardson posed a fundamental algorithmic problem for such social network processes: if we can try to convince a subset of individuals to adopt a new product or innovation

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR. Nucleic Acids Res

by Michaelw. Pfaffl
"... Use of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify cDNA products reverse transcribed from mRNA is on the way to becoming a routine tool in molecular biology to study low abundance gene expression. Real-time PCR is easy to perform, provides the necessary accuracy and produces reliable as ..."

Multivariate adaptive regression splines

by Jerome H. Friedman - The Annals of Statistics , 1991
"... A new method is presented for flexible regression modeling of high dimensional data. The model takes the form of an expansion in product spline basis functions, where the number of basis functions as well as the parameters associated with each one (product degree and knot locations) are automaticall ..."

Dynamic Conditional Correlation: A simple class of multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity Models.

by Robert Engle - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics , 2002
"... Abstract Time varying correlations are often estimated with Multivariate Garch models that are linear in squares and cross products of the data. A new class of multivariate models called dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models is proposed. These have the flexibility of univariate GARCH models ..."
