This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the determinants of the adoption lag for advanced technologies in the Canadian manufacturing sector. It uses plant-level data collected on the length of the adoption lag (the time between a firm's first becoming aware of a new technology and its adoption of the technology) to examine the extent to which the adoption lag is a function of the benefits and costs associated with technology adoption as well as certain plant characteristics that are proxies for a plant's receptor capabilities. Economic theory suggests that the diffusion of advanced technologies should be a function of the benefits associated with the adoption of new technologies. Other studies have had to proxy the benefits with environmental characteristics--like proximity to markets, fertility of soils, and size of firm. This paper makes use of more direct evidence collected from the 1993 Survey of Innovation and Advanced Technology concerning firms' own evaluations of the benefits and costs of adoption along with measures of overall technological competency. Both are found to be highly significant determinants of the adoption lag. Geographical nearness of suppliers decreases the adoption lag. Variables that have been previously used to proxy the benefits associated with technology adoption--variables such as larger firm size, younger age, and more diversification by the parent firm--also decrease the adoption lag, but they have much less effect than the direct measure of benefits and firm competency.

Download or read book Determinants of Technology Adoption in Mexico written by Gladys Lopez-Acevedo and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author tries to identify the impact of firm-, region-, and industry-specific characteristics on technology adoption by Mexican firms. Cross-sectional and panel data from 1992-99 show that the firms most likely to adopt new technology are large, train workers, have highly skilled workers, are near the U.S. border, and are owned by foreign entities. Also, bigger firms, firms with a large share of highly skilled workers, and firms that train workers, use intensively more complex technologies in their production process.

Download or read book Factors Affecting Technology Adoption and Productivity in a Digital Era written by Yoshiki Shoji (Researcher in system design and management) and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan's productivity growth has slowed since the 2000s, and in 2020 it ranked last among the G7 countries. Assuming that the reason for this is the rapid pace of technological change, this study uses a literature review and data analysis to identify the factors that contribute to technology adoption, which are often described as cultural differences. By summarizing supporting forces and restraining forces within a company and visualizing the process of technology adoption, a framework of technology adoption is constructed. There, the focus is on the aspect of acquiring human resources. As a result of the data analysis based on data from Orbis, LinkedIn, indeed, Zephyr, D&B Hoovers, and Ci Technology Data Set covering large manufacturing companies in the U.S., it is found that the more employees feel they are learning something in their work, the higher their adoption of technology will be. Surprisingly, however, no relationship is found between technology adoption and productivity, which can come down to a new hypothesis that technology adoption is a necessary but not sufficient condition for productivity growth. Based on the various data limitations identified in the process of conducting the analysis, the report summarizes a future research agenda to overcome these limitations.

The approach in the book concentrates on providing useful best practices for CCRC owners, CEOs, activity directors, as well as practitioners and system designers working with older adults to enhance their quality of life. Educators studying older adults will also find this book useful Although the guidelines are couched in the context of CCRCs, the book will have broader-based implications for training older adults on how to use computers, tablets, and other technologies.
Download or read book Global e commerce written by Kenneth L. Kraemer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-17 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are the Internet and e-commerce truly revolutionizing business practice? This book explodes the transformation myth by demonstrating that the Internet and e-commerce are in fact being adapted by firms to reinforce their existing relationships with customers, suppliers, and business partners. Detailed case studies of eight countries show that, rather than creating a borderless global economy, e-commerce strongly reflects existing local patterns of commerce, business, and consumer preference, and its impact therefore varies greatly by country. Paradoxically, while e-commerce is increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and competitiveness of firms, it is also increasing the complexity of their environments as they have to deal with more business partners and also face greater competition from other firms. This incisive analysis of the diffusion and impact of e-business provides academic researchers, graduates, and MBA students with a solid basis for understanding its likely evolution.

Download or read book Time Series Analysis for the Adoption of Electronic Commerce in Manufacturing Industry written by Jason Shin and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first essay of this dissertation explores the determinants of industry-level electronic commerce adoption by U.S. manufacturers using data from various U.S. government programs for the period of 2002 - 2019. Findings from a series of nonlinear mixed effects models reveal that the S-shaped electronic commerce adoption rate is best approximated by a Gompertz curve that assumes nonsymmetrical adoption, as opposed to the more conventional logistics curve that assumes symmetrical adoption. I further find that industries with a higher firm death rate exhibit greater adoption of electronic commerce. Third, I find that average firm size positively affects adoption more in concentrated industries. These findings shed new light on understanding industry-level patterns of technological adoption. The second essay of this dissertation examines how electronic commerce adoption affects manufacturing firms' labor productivity as well as selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) utilizing a multimethod design. Specifically, labor productivity is examined using industry-level data on labor productivity from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whereas effects on SG&A are examined using firm-level data from WRDS. The industry-level analysis reveals industries with higher rates of electronic commerce adoption see more pronounced increases in labor productivity, holding constant other inputs including capital and purchased inputs. The firm-level analyses show that firms in industries seeing higher rates of electronic commerce adoption experience lower SG&A expenses, holding constant an array of potential confounds. This essay responds to the call from productivity paradox literature for empirical research on the consequences of technology investments and provides insights for policy decision-makers and practitioners for their decision-making on new technology investment.

This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manufacturing USA initiative seeks to reinforce U.S.-based advanced manufacturing through partnerships among industry, academia, and government. Started in 2012 and established with bipartisan support by the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act of 2014, the initiative envisages a nationwide network of research centers for manufacturing innovation. As of May 2017, 14 manufacturing innovation institutes had been established to facilitate the movement of early-stage research into proven capabilities ready for adoption by U.S. manufacturers. To better understand the role and experiences of the Manufacturing USA institutes to date, a committee of the Innovation Policy Forum of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on May 23, 2017 drawing together institute directors and manufacturing policy experts along with leaders from industry, academia, and government. Participants addressed the role of the manufacturing institutes in increasing advanced manufacturing in the United States, examined selected foreign programs designed to support advanced manufacturing, and reviewed recent assessments of existing institutes. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
