“…In particular, we compare them in terms of sustainable technology. Many researches for technology analysis were based on patent analysis [11][12][13]15,[27][28][29][30] because the patent contains complete results of developed technologies [2,31]. However, we cannot analyze the patent documents directly using statistical modeling.…”

Abstract:The technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing was commercialized in the late 1980s. Since then, the development of this technology has been dramatically increasing. Moreover, 3D printing technology has been used in many different fields, such as electronics and medical appliances, because 3D printing is a technological convergence based on precision instruments, chemical materials, and electrical equipment. The technological impact of 3D printing is so powerful that we need to analyze 3D printing technology to understand the 3D printing industry. In addition, we want more analytical results for understanding the sustainability of 3D printing technology. Thus, we compare the technologies between 3D printing competitors to find their technological innovations and evolution from a technological sustainability. To analyze the 3D printing technology, we propose a new methodology of statistical technology analysis combing social network analysis with time series clustering. In our case study, we make a comparison between "3D Systems" and "Stratasys", two major 3D printing companies, because they have been leading the sustainable technologies of 3D printing in the market. We illustrate how the proposed methodology can be applied to practical problems from the case study. This paper contributes to the sustainable technology management, and our research can expand to other competitors with diverse technological fields as well as 3D printing.

“…Some scholars mentioned that improved technology is one of the key success factors to the successful development of new products [1][2][3][4]. Many studies reveal that the management should understand the market and conduct benchmarking for competitors in the process of developing new products, while maintaining close attention to the development trend of the application market [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Cooper suggested that the variables to the strategies of new product development can be divided into four characteristics as described below: (1) the enterprise's new product orientation, including creative new products, developing products that better meet the customer's demand than the competitors, product centralization and differentiation; (2) market characteristics appealed by new products, including the new market, customers, competitors, or new sales channels; (3) the enterprise's technology orientation and commitment, including the percentage of R&D expense to sales revenue, corporate R&D orientation and so forth; and (4) technical properties cited by the new product, including advanced/complex technology, close cooperation between the new product and company R&D, technology maturity and centralization [12,13].…”

An Efficient Model for NPD Performance Evaluation Using DEMATEL and Fuzzy ANP—Applied to the TFT-LCD Touch Panel Industry in Taiwan

Abstract:As the competitive market nowadays shortens the life cycle of products, new products should be designed to meet the customer's demand under a dynamic marketing environment so as to efficiently enhance the product strength of new products with maximization of profit. Hence, the key solution for enterprises to succeed will be the precise evaluation of new product development (NPD) performance, particularly for those who manage to survive in the intensely competitive market in Taiwan. This study is to identify the thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) touch panel industry and then establish an integrated model of NPD performance evaluation for enterprises. Firstly, literature review and interviews with experts are conducted to select the four aspects and 15 criteria as the main factors affecting NDP performance evaluation. Secondly, Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) is employed to identify the interrelationships among those factors. Finally, a Fuzzy theory is applied to resolve the linguistic hedges and an Analytic Network Process (ANP) is adopted to obtain the weights of all factors. A case study is performed to validate the proposed model in a Taiwanese TFT-LCD company. It not only provides the decision maker with a guidance system but also increases the competitive advantages for the TFT-LCD industry to design new products in the future.

“…In particular, regarding the textual analysis of patents, some studies have visualized technological objects, such as patents and technological key concepts related to specific products and technologies, in the forms of maps and networks to identify the competition trends of research and development (R&D) Lee and Hong, 2014), technology packages (Yoon et al, 2002), and the possibility of patent infringement (Bergmann et al, 2008;Cascini and Zini, 2008;Park et al, 2012). Some have attempted to forecast promising technological applications and future R&D directions by applying novelty detection algorithms and network analysis indicators Geum et al, 2013), and to find new technological items through idea generation approaches, including morphological analysis and technology vacuum analysis (Yoon and Park, 2005;Yoon and Park, 2007;Lee et al, 2009).…”

The development of a practical technology intelligence system requires a knowledge base that structures the core information and its relationship distilled from large volumes of technical data. Previous studies have mainly focused on the methodological approaches for technology opportunities, while little attention has been paid to constructing a practical knowledge base. Therefore, this study proposes a procedure to construct a function-based knowledge base for technology intelligence. We define the product-function-technology relationship and subsequently present the detailed steps for the knowledge base construction. The knowledge base, which is constructed analyzing 1110582 patents between 2009 and 2013 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, contains the functional knowledge of products and technologies and the relationship between products and technologies. This study is the first attempt to develop a large-scale knowledge base using the concept of function and has the ability to serve as a basis not only for furthering technology opportunity analysis methods but also for developing practical technology intelligence systems.
