RELATIONSHIP-BASED PRODUCT INNOVATIONS: EVIDENCE FROM THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN

Ruey Jer “Bryan” Jean,Daekwan Kim,Daniel C. Bello 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2016 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2016 No.7

Global supply chains offer a range of expertise to suppliers interested in generating innovative new products from their close, working relationships with other firms. However, research on whether and how social capital between firms can be leveraged for innovation is equivocal, conceptualizing little of the underlying processes responsible for mobilizing social capital and yielding mostly contradictory empirical results. This study proposes and tests the intermediate mechanisms of proactive customer orientation and joint learning capability as two distinctive capabilities that may account for the way social capital drives relationship-based radical innovation. The conceptual model posits the social capital-innovation link is neither simple nor direct, and an empirical test on 204 Taiwanese suppliers demonstrates the complexity of the innovation generation process. Largely confirming our conceptualization, two pathways from social capital to innovation are revealed: joint learning capability fully mediates the link while proactive customer orientation’s role is moderated by aspects of the suppliers tie to its international customer. Finally, implications for theory and practice for innovation in global supply chain relationships are drawn.

Hong Kong as a Mainland Solar Industry Securitisation Centre: Lessons for Chinese and Global International Financial Centres

( Bryane Michael ) 고려대학교 법학연구원 2023 The Asian Business Lawyer Vol.30 No.-

Dr. Bryane Michael is currently an advisor to the Ministry of Finance of a Pacific country and senior fellow at the University of Hong Kong. In his work at the World Bank, OECD, and Morgan Stanley, he advised on some of the newest technologies of the 2000s. He has done his graduate students in economics at Harvard and Oxford, and obtained his law degree from the King's College London. Does financial law shape the competitiveness of an international financial centre? Or does technological change and growth attract the people and assets which turn towns in megalopoli? Hong Kong's bid to dominate the Chinese photovoltaic (solar panel) industry illustrates these issues all too clearly. My analysis traces the way laws on asset and debt securitization have left rival financial centres - like Chicago -- to sell interests in China's still relatively stable solar energy markets. The paper shows the size of the market opportunity and points to several factors that have hampered Hong Kong from developing a more tech-friendly financial law.

Discussion of “Experimental study on the pipe-soil interface under the influence of pipe jacking stagnation time” by Tianliang Li, Wen Zhao, Run Liu, Jianyong Han and Cheng Cheng

Bryan A. McCabe,Brian B. Sheil,Bryn M. Phillips,Kevin G. O’Dwyer 대한토목학회 2022 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.26 No.8

Jacking forces which exceed expectations constitute a risk for tunnelling contractors. One scenario in which high forces may arise is when jacking of lubricated pipes is temporarily halted, which was considered by Li et al. using a programme of direct shear testing. While recognising the importance of the topic to the profession, the purpose of this Discussion piece is to highlight some of the limitations of the study.

GREEN RENEWABLE ENERGY

Bryan Tiong Yong Jie 국제과학영재학회 2013 APEC Youth Scientist Journal Vol.5 No.-

As the current world population stretches to over 7 billion, the world energy consumption sky rockets over 140000TWh, which will continue to increase in the future. The current world energy supply depends on the exploitation of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum. Coal is often branded as a ‘dirty’ energy source because of its carbon emission. However, methods have been introduced to make ‘clean coal’, such as chemically washing minerals and impurities from the coal and gasification. Green renewable energy is the green alternative to our future energy demands. Green energy such as biomass, wind energy, ocean energy and solar energy are among the most exploited energy sources. Biomass is one of the newest among green energies. Biomass is produced in gasifiers and in abundance. Next, Wind turbines such as HAWT and VAWT are the primary machines that can harness the mighty wind energy. The installed wind power had increased in recent years and shows no sign of slowing down. Aerodynamic wind turbines have to be applied in installed wind power to increase the efficiency. Other than that, with the installation of wave energy capturing buoys, the maximum harvesting of ocean energy can be started. Lastly, energy from the Sun can be harvested in mainly two systems – Solar thermal energy and photovoltaics. Energy storage have been the second most important after the harnessing of green energy. Storage of solar and wind energy at small and large scales are vital especially when there is no sunlight or wind blowing.

Comparison and Study of Active and Hybrid Power Filters for Compensation of Grid Harmonics

Bryan Gutierrez,Sang-Shin Kwak 전력전자학회 2016 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.16 No.4

This paper presents a theoretical analysis and comparisons of active power filter (APF) and hybrid power filter (HPF) systems, given terminal constraints of harmonic compensations in nonlinear loads. Despite numerous publications for the two types of filters, the features and differences between them have not been clearly explained. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the operations of a HPF inverter along with those of passive power filters (PPFs). It also includes their effects on the power factor at the grid. In addition, a theoretical analysis and a systematic comparison between the APF and HPF systems are addressed based on system parameters such as the source voltage, output power, reactive component size, and power factor at the grid terminals. The converter kVA ratings and dc-link voltage requirements for both topologies are considered in the presented comparisons

The Globalization of Human Rights:Violence, New Wars and Failed States

Bryan S. Turner 한국학술연구원 2006 Korea Observer Vol.37 No.1

The development and importance of human rights has been neglected by sociology as a major feature of globalization in the second half of the twentieth century. Indeed we might speak usefully of a “juridical revolution” or “entitlements revolu-tion” comparable to other great revolutions of which sociologists are fond -- industrial, capitalist or French revolutions. Perhaps one reason for the neglect is that, unlike citizenship, about which so-ciologists have written a lot, human rights are by definition not social rights of national citizens. Human beings have rights because they are vul-nerable and the social institutions that are designed to protect them are also precarious. Can sociolo-gists develop a adequate causal accounts of the rise of human rights as global phenomena? Many writ-ers have argued that the struggle against slavery laid the foundation for these rights, but the concept of “crimes against humanity” is a consequence of the modernisation of warfare and the rapid in-crease in civilian casualties in World War II. Subse-quently the development of “new wars” involving systematic rape, harassment of civilian populations and erosion of civil institutions illustrates how the technical development of violence and reduced costs of weapons produces a rights crisis. Failed states by definition cannot protect citizenship rights, and hence human rights are a global re-sponse to such crimes against humanity. These lo-cal low intensity wars are unlike the mass wars of the first half of the twentieth century, and have had devastating consequences in failed states. Finally, the future of globalisation will involve increasing attacks against ordinary citizens, and will require determined responses from both global civil society and nation states if the rule of law is to be de-fended.

Validation of single ball rolling contact fatigue machine dynamics

Bryan Allison 대한기계학회 2017 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.31 No.1

Single ball test machines are a common method for accelerated rolling contact fatigue testing of bearing materials. Historically, it has always been assumed that the force applied by the retaining bars is negligible, without any data to support this claim. In this study, strain gauges were placed on the retaining bars to determine the load experienced by the retaining bars. This value was then compared to the applied load. It was found that a load of approximately 4 N was transferred to the retainer by the test ball during steady state operation, when a 8385 N load was applied to the ball via the rings. A simulation of the system was also created and successfully predicted the expected loads with reasonable accuracy. This information, as well as the technique of strain gauging the retaining bars, may be useful in the development of similar testing machinery.

The Present Condition and Outlook of Hydrogen Industry in Alberta, Canada

Bryan Moon(문상호),Wonsuk Lee(이원석),Youngsoo Lee(이영수) 한국가스학회 2021 한국가스학회지 Vol.25 No.1

한국의 수소경제 활성화 로드맵에 의하면 2040년 526만톤의 연간 수소공급이 필요하며 이 중 해외 생산부분이 50%를 담당해야 할 것으로 설정하였으나 부생, 추출, 수전해 방식의 수소공급이 원활하지 않을 경우 해외 생산 비중이 당초 계획보다 증가될 수 있다. 따라서 국외 생산분에 대해 다양한 공급원의 확보가 필수적이며, 본 기술보고에서는 주요 공급후보국인 캐나다의 수소생산/수송 정책, 현황, 향후 전망에 대해 살펴보고 가장 현실적인 수소공급 방법으로 여겨지는 블루수소 프로젝트의 사례를 소개하고자 한다. Based on Korea’s Hydrogen Economy Activation Roadmap, an annual supply of 5.26 million tonnes of hydrogen is required by 2040. But if the hydrogen production from byproduct, extraction, and electrolysis of water is not able to meet the target which is 50% of total production, it would be necessary to increase the portion of imported hydrogen. Therefore, it is essential to secure a variety of sources for overseas production. In this technical report, hydrogen production/transportation policies, current condition, and future prospects of Canada, a major supply candidate, is examined and an example of blue hydrogen project which is considered the most realistic hydrogen supply method is introduced.
