University-industry R&D collaborations (UICs) play a vital role in stimulating open innovation that leads to new products, processes, and services creates value for customers broader societal impact. UICs, however, commonly fail meet these stakeholders' benefits. This study identifies thirty-four critical success factors (CSFs) improving UIC success. The includes systematic literature review longitudinal case between Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal University of Minho, multi-million Euro...

Large amounts of money are spent all over the world on R&D, in order to ensure future sustainability. However, much this research fails meet its full potential. These R&D projects often costly and inefficient due problems associated with working a team environment, involving members from different geographical regions. One main limiting factors that reduce potential output type project is poor communication, knowledge sharing learning between virtual team. In context, collaboration...

Competitiveness in lower tech, small-to-medium sized enterprises (LMT-SMEs) depends as much on innovation it does high larger counterparts. For many decades, studies have focused the latter sector that is differentiated from former one key respect – business investment research and development (BERD). LMT-SMEs low reported BERD according to OECD spend less than 3% of turnover R&D. This figure masks hidden investments non-traditional often goes unreported by managers. Adopting a case study...
University-industry R&D collaborations (UICs) are becoming more critical for discovering innovations that can lead to the development of new products, services, and processes and, broadly, social impact in terms employment, economic development, public health. The Covid-19 pandemic, example, has seen an unprecedented rise UICs illustrates how vital their success be positively impacting collaborators involved society at large.

The study identifies top-10 'most used' useful' practices R&D&I, covering complete lifecycle while emphasising importance 'Initiation' phase....
This paper reviews part of the technological environment in which extended enterprises and standards must be developed. It looks at current emerging information system (IS) technologies that are widely accepted for use as enablers communications between companies, particular supply chain relationships. The first technology discussed is electronic data interchange (EDI). EDI most used well proven facilitating companies. Next, set make up Internet explored. many circumstances plays a...
Innovation provides the means for enterprises to survive and grow. Due distributed heterogeneous characteristics, it's difficult manage innovation across extended enterprise. A novel vision Semantic Management (SIM) is introduced. The system architecture combines ontology, inference mediation technologies used create a semantic web of knowledge. functional framework SIM System (SIMS) based on metadata harvesting RDF access presented. An applied case study explained in detail. This, turn,...
