本研究試圖以每個具有生命力組織的特性，亦即當組織需要適應環境以求得生存繁衍時，所必然具備的，適應環境的行為能力、組織內各環節間的運作規律與互動模式，以及組織需能構築自己的保護機制等這三種能力。來探討企業創新研發中心在資訊通訊代工產業中實際操作時所常面臨到的困境與問題，並藉由C公司之實例探討來找出可能的解決方向。 在研究中，也將這三種能力轉化為企業創新研發中心的語言。亦即企業創新研發中心之經營模式、企業創新研發中心之創新專案管理模式，以及企業創新研發中心之智慧財產權管理模式來進行探討。研究中也藉由這三個構面的討論，定義出個案公司利用鉗練模式的經營創新，使得原先在系統產業環境中容易失焦的負面因素，卻反而轉化成了正面的有利因素。也推動了一套針對創新技術管理的專案模式，並且讓這套創新技術管理的方法，充分結合於原有C公司的核心能力-產品專案執行流程中，內化成組織新的生命力。最後，也對C公司專利技術室組織的萃取智慧財產權的機制-專利專案協同計畫，做了詳盡的解釋。 / Running a Corporate Research Center well in 3C ODM industry is always a questionable task, ODM based companies are used to follow industry standard to build huge mass production capacity and also hope can create better gross margin be creating something different. This is really a dilemma. In this thesis, we use a real case C Company to study how the corporate research center operates inside the 3C ODM industry by three examining scopes. There are operation strategy, innovative technology project management and intellectual property right management. According to this study result, we concluded a few successful factors for corporate research center in C Company. There are innovative clamping economics model for operation strategy, Dorothy’s theory based technology project phase management and project based IP mining system. All the above factors should work together to make the whole research center running smoothly.

Currently, the customer ordering process is not well planned and leads to multiple orders in a month, thereby excessive shipping and increased cost to serve. The supplies provided to customers are used for specimen collection, and the collected specimen are sent to diagnostic laboratories for analysis. Historical data on order quantities of specimen collection items (SCIs) and specimen containers returned to lab are available. This project takes advantage of the closed loop nature of the system to predict order quantities of SCIs. This project explores two replenishment strategies and compares it with the current method, through simulation. / The simulation models the daily consumption of SCIs at a chosen Patient Service Center (PSC), and estimates average inventory levels and the number of occurrences of stockouts for each SCI at the PSC, for varying values of parameters such as review period and safety stock levels. The two replenishment strategies are (a) constant order quantity, in which fixed replenishment quantities of SCIs are supplied every review period, and (b) predictive modelling replenishment strategy, in which the order quantities of SCIs are predicted using the data on specimen containers returned to diagnostic lab for analysis. For the latter strategy, multiple models for prediction, such as penalized regression, Classification and Regression Trees (CART) and Random Forest are used. Two parameters, the total replenishment costs and the number of occurrences of stockouts, are measured to evaluate the performance of the replenishment strategies. / The total cost of replenishment for constant quantity strategy is comparable to that of baseline case, whereas predictive modelling strategies have much higher cost. The constant quantity strategy with increased levels of safety stock gives best results of reducing the total cost of replenishment and minimizing the number of occurrences of stockouts. / by Merin Thomas. / M.B.A. / S.M. / M.B.A. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management / S.M.

This master thesis was done at Uppsala Clinical Research Center (UCR). UCR have recently developed the technical platform QReg 5 for managing quality registries. UCR have been in contact with several international organizations interested in collaborating with UCR because of their expertise within quality registries as well as their technical competence. UCR have a complicated owner structure as well as organizational structure, as they are owned by Uppsala University and Uppsala County Council. The purpose of this master thesis was to present how QReg 5 could be commercialized under UCR's preconditions. In order for the internationalization plans to be successful, it was shown that the shared ownership of UCR needs to become clearer. By taking advantage of the possibilities with the new development section at UCR, the management of the contacts will be more efficient. Potential competitors for UCR are registry centers that have created their own technical solutions, large software companies, Life Science related organizations (e.g. hospitals), the organizations that UCR license QReg 5 to, as well as software companies creating electronic medical records. The most interesting customer segment for UCR are organizations with technical competences, which are placed in countries were quality registries are not yet in use.

Magíster en Análisis Sistémico Aplicado a la Sociedad / Se presenta en este informe de Tesis un análisis de las perspectivas de desarrollo de la Energía Solar observadas en el Solar Energy Research Center (SERC), en específico aquellas relacionadas con los ámbitos de Ciencia y Tecnología, Mercado y Políticas Públicas. Para ello, y a partir de metodologías cualitativas, se desarrollaron redes semánticas asociadas a cada ámbito señalado, indagando en las formas de procesamiento usadas por miembros del SERC para tratarlos. A partir de ello, se muestra el surgimiento de distintos niveles de complejidad en las formas de abordar el fenómeno y su incidencia en el proceso de estabilización de la Energía Solar en nuestro país, relevando el papel que el concepto de perspectiva tiene en la configuración del emergente campo solar en nuestro país
