MANAGING KNOWLEDGE EMBEDDEDNESS FOR SYNERGETIC INNOVATION PERFORMANCE IN STRATEGIC ALLIANCES: IMPLICATIONS FROM KNOWLEDGE FLOW AND STRATEGIC REACTIVENESS

Knowledge embeddedness may exert a crucial role in improving synergetic innovation performance in the knowledge economy era. However, theoretical deduction and empirical investigation on the effects of knowledge embeddedness have not yet reached a consensus. One primary reason caused this result is that the different levels of knowledge embeddedness for synergies have been neglected to examine. To provide evidence to develop strategies for improving synergetic innovation performance based on related knowledge by embedding knowledge, this paper used the 496-questionnaire data to investigate the impacts of knowledge embeddedness on synergetic innovation performance, the mediating effects of knowledge acquisition and knowledge leakage, and the moderating effect of strategic reactiveness. We found that knowledge embeddedness played an inverted U-shaped role in synergetic innovation performance in strategic alliances, whereas it had positive effects on knowledge acquisition and knowledge leakage. Two specific knowledge flow behaviours, knowledge acquisition and knowledge leakage exerted inverted U-shaped impacts on synergetic innovation performance. In addition, they had partial mediating effects between knowledge embeddedness and synergetic innovation performance. Moreover, strategic reactiveness positively moderated the relationship between knowledge embeddedness and synergetic innovation performance. Our results supplemented reliable empirical evidence to promote the development of embeddedness and knowledge management literature.

Innovation Management in Wine Business – Need to Address Front-End, Back-End, or Both?

In order to provide needed orientation of innovation management in the SME wine industry, a multi-case study was realized. The innovation activities of four German wineries for their entire value-creation coverage were analysed. The focus of the study was on an apparent challenge whether wineries should emphasise viticultural (back-end) or marketing and sales (front-end) innovations. The results of the four cases analysed suggest that innovation matters, strategic positioning influences each wineries’ innovation portfolio, winery size and organization impact the innovation portfolio, resource dependency can be reduced through cooperative action at the industry level, and smaller producers must leverage their entrepreneurial orientation. All integrated wine producers need to address front- and back-end innovation, but with flexibility for innovation accentuation and individual innovation portfolios. Wineries also need to recognize the synergetic value of two different challenges: (1) convincing products require optimal planting and farming whereas (2) the product assortment and its treatment should consider customer profiles. Hence, front- and back-end innovations need to be synchronized and considered in parallel, without ignoring each winery’s strategic accents and therefore individualization of the innovation portfolio. A synergetic innovation approach, exploiting technology and data mining, can foster the development of competencies and best practices when using existing wine industry resources and capabilities. Knowledge exchange at the industry-level helps producers reach consensus on innovation activities, goals, and strategies, and to improve the business ecosystem by identifying elements that are obsolete or ripe for change.

Innovation and practice of petroleum engineering synergetic management for the development of difficult-to-produce reserves

Abstract Due to engineering technology and development costs, a considerable amount of proven oil and gas resources in China are difficult to develop, becoming reserves difficult to produce. Based on the successful development of some domestic oil and gas reserves difficult to recover, this article summarizes the “four in one” petroleum engineering synergetic management model to promote the effective development of these reserves. This model draws on the essence of management theories, such as system theory, cybernetics and synergetic theory, and proposes the development idea of value creating and sharing for this type of reserves. By adopting the new management method of mechanism synergy, speciality synergy, process synergy and industrial chain synergy, this model effectively overcomes the decentralization of management responsibility, different management objectives, great risks of engineering and technological innovation, and the large number of uncertain factors in project construction, and can stimulate the vitality and power of active coordination of project participants, to effectively realize the synergetic innovation of engineering technology and synergetic cost reduction of the whole chain, reduction of the balanced oil price of the project, and dispersion of the project investment risk. By adopting this model, a large proportion of difficult-to-produce reserves have been liberated, realizing the effective utilization of the difficult-to-produce oil and gas resources, and making the reserves an important supplement to ensure national energy security.

Research on the Synergetic Innovation Between Pharmaceutical Enterprises and Scientific Research Institutions Based on the Quantum Game

Synergetic innovation between pharmaceutical enterprises and scientific research institutions is extremely important for the development of innovative drugs. However, it is unstable in the pharmaceutical industry, which seriously hinders the development of innovative drugs in the World. China is the country with the biggest population, and therefore problems in this country are ones of the most important. In this context, we studied the influence of strengthening correlation degree on synergetic innovation between pharmaceutical enterprises and scientific research institutions by using quantum game. Through the establishment of quantum game model, we obtain the optimal strategy of both players in different case. The results show that the quantum game can solve the problem of “prisoner’s dilemma” existing in the game between pharmaceutical enterprises and scientific research institutions; it is easier for the two players to choose complete synergy when they are entangled state and quantum strategy has been adopted; when pharmaceutical enterprises and scientific research institutions are not in a state of entanglement, the quantum game has no difference with classical game in this case.

Polarized red, green, and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) are successfully fabricated using polyfluorene and its derivatives, namely, poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO), poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT), and poly (triphenylamine-co-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole-co-benzo[c]thiadiazole-co-9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene) (Red F). Rubbed hole transport layer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is employed in the devices as the alignment layer to achieve fully monodomain alignment in all polymer layers. Red F is blended with F8BT to realize the polarized electroluminescence of red light (dichroic ratio ∼3.3), despite having no liquid crystallinity itself. Comparing PFO/F8BT blend to F8BT, higher efficiency of polarized emission is found due to the energy transfer. All the polarized LEDs exhibit pronounced dichroism and efficient polarized emission compared to the non-alignment regular devices.

Synergetic Innovation in Social Governance in a Complex Network Structural Paradigm

Society is in essence a complex network system that is open, evolving and adaptable and possesses a coupling function. Social governance is a large-scale and complex systems engineering project. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of the environment and social affairs, the traditional government-led linear management model cannot provide effective interpretations and responses to complex social issues, and it is thus necessary to introduce the complexity scientific paradigm. Complexity science, especially complex system theory, has an intrinsic correspondence with social governance, and can reveal the inherent occurrence mechanism and rules brought about by the complexity of social governance. It indicates that the more complex a system is, the greater will be its requirements for systemic coordination and the more apparent its synergetic effects. A complex social network system is small-world and scale-free, with a community structure, preferential attachment and a topological structure characterized by the duality of virtuality and actuality. All of these have a direct and profound effect on social governance. To strengthen and innovate social governance, it is necessary to analyze the social system’s complex network structure and characteristics, establish synergetic and innovative mechanisms and institutional arrangements for social governance, and carry out synergetic social governance.

Post-processing Free Quantum Random Number Generator Based on Avalanche Photodiode Array**Supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Center for Excellence and Synergetic Innovation Center in Quantum Information and Quantum Physics, Shanghai Branch, University of Science and Technology of China, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No 11405172.

Quantum random number generators adopting single photon detection have been restricted due to the non-negligible dead time of avalanche photodiodes (APDs). We propose a new approach based on an APD array to improve the generation rate of random numbers significantly. This method compares the detectors' responses to consecutive optical pulses and generates the random sequence. We implement a demonstration experiment to show its simplicity, compactness and scalability. The generated numbers are proved to be unbiased, post-processing free, ready to use, and their randomness is verified by using the national institute of standard technology statistical test suite. The random bit generation efficiency is as high as 32.8% and the potential generation rate adopting the 32 × 32 APD array is up to tens of Gbits/s.
