“…Performance comparison between the termination and dual sourcing scenarios . This comparison can be the most interesting one—as we have mentioned in the introduction, emerging debates have recently taken place in the OM/marketing field (Epstein 2014, Kaiser 2013, Kim 2012, Worstall 2013, Humphries 2012). Essentially, the OEM prefers the situation where the competitive supplier does not terminate the component‐selling business even if she shifts some component orders to a new alternative supplier.…”

In today's increasingly interconnected world, co‐opetition has emerged as a new business practice among many high‐tech firms. The boundaries between cooperation and competition becomes vague, and rivals engage in collaborative activities. This study develops an analytical model to investigate the dual sourcing decision of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the presence of a competitive supplier (i.e., frenemy) as well as a non‐competitive supplier who nevertheless suffers from unreliable production yield. We study the competitive supplier's dual channel decision if it prefers operating both component‐selling business and self‐branded business, and find that the OEM always prefers supplier diversification even though the additional non‐competitive supplier is unreliable. Interestingly, our results reveal that the non‐competitive supplier's expected profit is unimodal in its production technology level, which suggests the non‐competitive supplier may not have incentive to improve its production technology once it reaches a threshold. Furthermore, we analyze the credibility of the competitive supplier's threat to terminate the supply of the components to OEM as a response of OEM's engagement of a new supplier. We show that this termination of component‐selling business by competitive supplier is a non‐credible threat to prevent OEM from seeking the alternative supplier.

“…Samsung suffered from the more defendant counts of patent litigation at that time, because its technological capabilities became a huge threat for Apple (Saardchom 2014). In addition, Apple brought the patent wars to the other major competitors to deter their technology development (Kim et al 2015). Therefore, when a developing company has a competitive advantage of core technology, the company must prepare in advance for defense in patent lawsuits though the company gains excessive profits and grows rapidly.…”

“…As a result, Samsung's defendant counts of patent litigation was rapidly increasing at that time. Especially, Apple started a patent war with Samsung to deter Samsung's technology development (Kim et al 2015). Although Samsung's defendant counts of patent litigation raised, it attracted investors' positive attention and thereby its market value increased.…”

This study re-examined the determinants of market value from the perspectives of patent analysis and patent litigation in the American semiconductor industry. We used artificial neural networks to explore the influences of patent counts, defendant counts of patent litigation, and patent share on market value in the American semiconductor industry. The patent data were collected from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, legal data were collected from the database of Westlaw and the financial data were collected from the database of COMPUSTAT. The results show that patent counts and defendant counts of patent litigation have a positive effect on corporate performance in the American semiconductor industry. However, patent share has a negative effect on corporate performance in the American semiconductor industry. Accordingly, we can apply the three indicators, patent counts, defendant counts of patent litigation, and patent share, to assess market value of American semiconductor companies.

“…In terms of ease of use, Twitter is not burdened with writing short-sentence-oriented content with a 140-character limit. It also has an advantage that it can be easily linked with external web pages through mobile devices and APIs [1]. A blog can be a specific webpage format or a tool for creating it that can simply upload articles (such as short mentions on daily activities or existing articles) [2].…”

“…The emotional analysis based on social big data can help people's consumption aspect and opinions on government policy or company product evaluation. According to the research [1], companies analyze and survey consumers' opinion not only for their images, but also for other companies' products and services. However, social big data contains many newly coined words and emoticons.…”

Nowadays, based on mobile devices and internet, social network services (SNS) are common trends to everyone. Social opinions as public opinions are very important to the government, company, and a person. Analysis and decision of social polarity of SNS about social happenings, political issues and government policies, or commercial products is very critical to the government, company, and a person. Newly coined words and emoticons on SNS are created every day. Specifically, emoticons are made and sold by a person or companies. Newly coined words are mostly made and used by various kinds of communities. The SNS big data mainly consist of normal text with newly coined words and emoticons so that newly coined words and emoticons analysis is very important to understand the social and public opinions. Social big data is informally made and unstructured, and on social network services, many kinds of newly coined words and various emoticons are made anonymously and unintentionally by people and companies. In the analysis of social data, newly coined words and emoticons limit the guarantee the accuracy of analysis. The newly coined words implicitly contain the social opinions and trends of people. The emotional states of people significantly are expressed by emoticons. Although the newly coined words and emoticons are an important part of the social opinion analysis, they are excluded from the emotional dictionary and social big data analysis. In this research, newly coined words and emoticons are extracted from the raw Twitter’s twit messages and analyzed and included in a pre-built dictionary with the polarity and weight of the newly coined words and emoticons. The polarity and weight are calculated for emotional classification. The proposed emotional classification algorithm calculates the weight of polarity (positive or negative) and results in total polarity weight of social opinion. If the total polarity weight of social opinion is more than the pre-fixed threshold value, the twit message is decided as positive. If it is less than the pre-fixed threshold value, the twit message is decided as negative and the other values mean neutral opinion. The accuracy of the social big data analysis result is improved by quantifying and analyzing emoticons and newly coined words.
