The impact of government financial support on the performance of new firms: the role of competitive advantage as an intermediate outcome

“…For organizations involved in new technology research and development, competitive advantage derives from successful protection and commercialization of the technology (Webster and Sugden 2003). Thus, copyrights and patents are of paramount importance for companies.…”

“…This has become necessary because for the production of a particular product, a company might need to use technology and patents developed in several industries such as computers, software, communications, etc. Through licensing companies buy the right to use the technology or intellectual property of others in their own manufacturing processes or for another defined purpose (Webster and Sugden 2003). Recently, researchers have noted an even greater need for licensing-in.…”

The measurement of manufacturing virtuality

“…Establishing comprehensive in-house manufacturing facilities is one option for achieving this, but virtual manufacturing represents an approach that does not require investment in manufacturing resources or the development of manufacturing process skills. On the other hand, for companies that already manufacture products, moving from a strategy of full in-house manufacture towards one of virtual manufacturing may offer a means of reducing investment and increasing agility (Webster and Sugden, 2003).…”

O papel da internet das coisas (IoT) nas práticas da manufatura agil : uma análise da interação do modelo conceitual de manufatura ágil com as categorias de aplicativos da IoT

“…-Virtual Enterprise (VE): é uma aliança temporária entre companhias, que se unem com o intuito de aproveitar uma oportunidade do mercado, onde cada empresa membro compartilham suas principais competências (PRESLEY et al, 2001). O ambiente de manufatura virtual gera muitos benefícios, como melhorias no design do produto e do processo, melhor capacidade de resposta, menores riscos de fabricação, suporte nas alterações do sistema de manufatura e melhorias no serviço e reparo do produto (WEBSTER;SUGDEN, 2003;GUISINGER;GHORASHI, 2004;LAU et al, 2003). Geralmente as empresas utilizam a VE para fabricar um produto específico durante um determinado período de tempo, e posteriormente, à medida que as empresas seguem em frente, as alianças são dissolvidas (SARKIS; TALLURI; GUNASEKARAN, 2007); -Cadeia de Suprimentos (Supply Chain): Uma cadeia de suprimentos é constituída por companhias interdependentes, que se conectam e trabalham de maneira cooperativa, com o objetivo de gerenciar, controlar e melhorar o fluxo de materiais e informações (AITKEN, 1999apud HASAN 2009.…”
