An Empirical Study of R&D/Marketing Interface Management Guan Jiancheng, Zhang Huasheng, Gao Baiyang 1999, (2):  8-16.  Abstract ( 2357 )   PDF (2726KB) ( 1933 )   Save Harmonized interface between the R&D and marketing departments is essential to develop new product in an effective and efficient manner. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework on it.Then, an exploratory empirical study is made. We gathered the information about the Perceptions of the importance of interface management through surveyed R&D managers and marketing managers for 1258 Beijing firms. Furthermore, we use the techniques of factor analysis and variance analysis to analyze the information. Four principal factors are identified which accounted for the majority of variance in studying subjects’ Perceived importance of the variables tested. We analyze the relationship between firms’ interface integration and its technology strategies. Differences between R&D and marketing managers’ Perception of the importance of interface variables are analyzed, too. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Design of Agricultural and By-Products Information System’s Structure and Analysis of Business Condition for Peasants Zhu Qinghua, Qu Xiaofei, Geng Yong 1999, (2):  17-23.  Abstract ( 1974 )   PDF (2598KB) ( 1313 )   Save Infomation has become strategic resource of today’s international economics and distinctive product factor. It turns to the key to exist and develop for agricultural economics how to use information technique and exploit information resources. This paper puts forward an agricultural and by-products information support system with a multi-level and multi-connection model. On the base of analyzing agricultural and by-products industry features, it also introduces an analysis of business condition for peasants. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Virtual Enterprise and Its Intelligence Management Wei Yiming, Xu Weixuan 1999, (2):  30-36.  Abstract ( 2130 )   PDF (2705KB) ( 2788 )   Save Virtual Enterprise(VE) will be an efficient organization form in futrue, due to the rapidly developing computer techniques and information technology(IT) The great change of organization form and business management method will lead to the change of pattern for enterprise administration. Therefore, there is much difference among VE and the management mode drawn from VE (called as VE-strategy) as well as management of VE. This paper describes systematically the concept of virtual enterprise and its structure, directly against the incomplete understanding on VE. The methodology for intelligence management and the general frame of synthesis integrated system for intelligent decision-making in virtual enterprise management are also investigated in this paper.

The G-C-D Model and Measurement of the Contribution Rate of Technological Advance Liu Sifeng, Dang Yaoguo, Li Bingjun, Li Xiuli, Wang Lianhua 1999, (2):  76-80.  Abstract ( 2410 )   PDF (2366KB) ( 1527 )   Save A new model, the G-C-D model, which is used to measure the technoloigcal advance, is built in this Paper. The progress in non-technical elements in Solow’s "remaining value" is removed by using the idea, method and modeling technique of grey system theory. So, the difficult technical problem in measurement of technological advance has been solved to a certain extent. The periodic G-C-D model of Henan Province is built in four different periods and the contribution rate of its periodic technological advance is measured. References | Related Articles | Metrics
