Application of dynamic diffusion theory in foreign direct investment of Taiwan IC industry in China
This study applies dynamic diffusion theory to forecast Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) of Taiwan IC industry into China. We compare the FDI external and internal influence factors among IC design, packaging and testing industries. The internal impact ...
Pricing SPX and DIX by HAR models
Previous studies have documented that, with use of high-frequency data, the Heteroskedasticity AR (HAR-RV) model performs better than other models in fitting financial return volatility measurement and has a more accurate forecasting ability. However, ...
Implementation process of management control systems in the municipally owned hospitals: in the case of Nagasaki prefectural hospitals in Japan
The purpose of this paper is to describe and explore management reforms in the municipally owned hospitals in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan, based on 'levers of control' framework (Simons, 1995). The hospitals are changing their strategy through ...
The performance of equity mutual funds in Poland

A growth model for marketing evolution of multi-generation NAND flash memory
Marketing growth of information-technology products is continuously sustained by semiconductor non-volatile memories. Flash memory plays a crucial role for mass storage of portable electronic systems. In this work, we study the marketing dynamics of ...
Building trust in electronic communities by mining web content
Most previous trust mechanisms mainly focus on reputation or authentication issues, which do not consider the large amount of system-provided and user-generated content published on web. In this paper, we propose to build trust in online community by ...
A hybrid discrete particle swarm algorithm for solving the fixed-spectrum frequency assignment problem
In this paper, the problem of the fixed-spectrum frequency assignment, where the objective is to minimise the cost due to the interference arising in a solution, is studied and solved using a discrete particle swarm optimisation, which is refined by a ...
A symbiosis dynamic analysis for collaborative R&D in open innovation
This research aims to propose a symbiosis model for new product development based on the open innovation concept. Particularly, a dynamical model of Lotka-Volterra approach is used to analyse the cooperative R&D relationship between the innovation ...
