A Study on the Relationship of Production Value, R & D Investment, and Intellectual Property in High Technology Industries Chih Chin Yang* and Ping-Yi Chao** Department of Business Administration, National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Republic of China Abstract Intellectual capital is often defined as a belief that is true and justified. This defined has led to its market and product values. This study of the valuation proposed a new model of intellectual capital including content classification with experiment, experience, and knowledge elements and infrastructure classification with finance, human, and facility elements. This thesis proposed a new theory of intellectual capital and a valuation approach with production and market. After an in-depth review and case analysis of leading firms in this field, a holistic intellectual capital model is discussed, which involves transport, delivery supporting, and interface and systems of on intellectual capital. Through a quantity study and empirical study, it is found that there is a significant relationship between the six intellectual capital elements, including three elements of content and three elements of infrastructure in a company, and its market and product values. The purpose of this study is to investigate the six elements of intellectual capital, ie experiment, experience, knowledge, finance, human, and facility elements, and their interrelationships within all high-technologies in Taiwan. The main conclusions from this particular study are that: positive relationship between infrastructure of enterprise and content of enterprise is important regardless of all high-technology industries type; the relationship between infrastructure and product value is positive and significant; the relationship between content of enterprise and product value is important for high-technology industries. The final specified models in this study show a robust explanation of business performance in product value within the high technology industries in Taiwan. *Graduated student **Advisor

abstract: This mixed methods study examined instructor introduction videos for use in online learning. This study intended to identify the influence of video production value on student perceptions of student-instructor intent, specifically in the areas of perceived student-instructor communication and student-instructor connection. This study also examined which production style most accurately aligns student perceptions with instructor intent as well as which video production style is preferred by students. Using a set of production guidelines, an instructor produced two introduction videos; one of low production value, one of high production value. Student participants were surveyed on their perceptions of the instructor as featured in both videos. The instructor was interviewed using similar questions in order to identify instructor intent and compare instructor intent to student perceptions. Analysis of data showed that there was no statistical difference between video production value in students’ perceived student-instructor connection or student-instructor communication when compared to the instructor’s intent in the same areas. Data analysis also showed that a high production value was more accurate in portraying instructor intent, however a low production value was preferred by students and portrayed the instructor more positively. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Educational Leadership and Policy Studies 2019

Detta arbete har med hjälp av logiska samband tagit fram en matematisk formel samt logiska villkor för att tillämpa en dynamisk offset för ett felvisande produktionsvärde. Arbetet grundar sig i hur en känslig konsistensgivare påverkas vid avsaknad av tillräcklig blandning av pappersmassa, liksom hur en dynamisk offset kan korrigera produktionsvärdet och vara en temporär lösning tills en mer långsiktig lösning kan implementeras i produktionen. Konsistensen på massan används för att få fram koncentrationen fibrer, vilket i sin tur är en del av uträkningen för produktionsvärdet i pressen. Genom att analysera vilka parametrar som identifierar en stabil produktion kunde ett tillstånd hittas där produktionsvärdet ska vara densamma som i produktionen för föregående press. Om en parameter ändrar sig så kommer inte värdet att korrigeras utifrån produktionsvärdet i pressen innan. Behovet av ett korrekt produktionsvärde är kritiskt då det används senare i processen för en korrekt blandning av kemikalier och spädvätska, med hjälp av denna metod har den uppmätta produktionsskillnaden mellan press 6 och 7 minskar med cirka ≈ 16 ton/h i snitt till enbart ≈ 0,200 ton/h. / This study has developed a mathematical formula as well as logical conditions for applying a dynamic offset for an incorrect production value using logical conjunction. The study is based on how a sensitive consistency sensor is affected in the absence of sufficient mixing of pulp, as well as how a dynamic offset can correct the production value and be a temporary solution until a more long-term solution can be implemented in production. The consistency of the pulp is used to obtain the concentration of fibres, which in turn is part of the calculation for the production value in the press. By analysing which parameters identify a stable production, a condition could be found where the production value should be the same as in the production for the previous press. If a parameter changes then the value will not be corrected based on the production value in the press before. The need for a correct production value is critical as it is used later in the process for the correct mixing of chemicals and diluents. Using this method, the measured production difference between presses 6 and 7 decreases by about ≈ 16 tons/h to an average of only ≈ 0.200 tons/h.

Objective of this thesis was to describe and evaluate the development of milk prices in selected countries of the European Union and The Czech Republic. The theoretical part describes the definition of price, pricing, division of prices, factors affecting the consumption of milk, the connection between consumption, price and income. The thesis also analyzes the particularities of agricultural prices compared with prices in other sectors. It was drawn from literature of Czech and foreign authors. In the methodical part there are described statistical and economic calculation methods. The development of milk prices in each selected EU countries is described in the practical part. Analyzed countries were not chosen randomly. In this paper, there are selected three old states (Denmark, Italy, United Kingdom) and three new states (Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia) and of course the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the price development is assessed by means of price indexes, using analysis of longer time series. In the longer term series there is used the time series analysis, where a linear trend is modeled and a verification of the correctness of the predicted trend results is made. The time series is also examined from the viewpoint of seasonal fluctuations. The thesis is more interested in the national environment, efficiency of large milk producers. In the third part there is calculated the dependence of price development on income situation in each country and the impact of prices on consumption. Coefficients of income elasticity and elasticity of consumption were used. Price and income elasticity was compared in each country of the EU. The conclusion contains summary of results and performed discussion.
