Keywords: R&D success, product development, Performance measurement INTRODUCTION Industrial research and development (R&D) uses science and technology to create new things or it improves products or processes for profit making companies. Product development, which is a very important part of R&D, can see the situations that are expected to improve a company’s competitive advantage and increase future success in periods. R&D management has been an essential point with the increase in investments. At the same time, performance measurement also has been an important contribution to increase of product development. Comparably, the research usually has been used a theory by companies instead of using it in applications based. In most cases, the companies do not evaluate R&D studies very well. They have not showed an interest in enough any time. On the other hand, they have tried to make an effort to increase the productivity...

TOWARDS A NON-WESTERN PERSPECTIVE ON SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE I The available studies on the phenomenon and institution of science suffer from a curious limitation. It is as if all those who analyse the subject were overawed by the grandeur of modern science, and their studies were in the nature of tributes laid at the feet of this great saviour. All analysis starts from the assumption that modern science is a set of value-free theories that uniquely explain reality. After the scientists in the early 20th century started overhauling their theories in a big way, it was granted that the value-free theories of science that explain reality may do so only partially at a given time, but as science progresses, its theories explain more and more of reality and the process converges towards the ‘ultimate’, ‘unique’ law that explains everything. Committed to this idealist picture of a unique value free science, the philosophy of science is reduced to a set of attempts at finding the epistemological criterion, internal to science, that allows the scientist, unencumbered by any extraneous considerations, to choose the true theory out of a competing set; the sociology of science is reduced to...

...Gay Marriage “I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us,” says country singer Kinky Friedman (Friedman). Gay marriage has been one of the most talked about and highly debated topics over the past decade fight alongside legalization of marijuana and abortion. Most of the issues however with gay marriage simply come to down to religion and its belief that marriage is something solely ordained by God. Marriage is anything but a restricted privilege of the religious, and the legalization of gay marriages would greatly help this country. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, marriage is the “the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law," and “the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage (Merriam-Webster).” What’s ironic here is that the world’s foremost dictionary defines marriage as the same both for hetero and homosexual couples, and society who uses that same dictionary to find a definition for everything else in the world simply ignores that entry. See one of the biggest problems and fallacies in a gay marriage debate is that marriage does not just come from religious backgrounds. According to a publication from “The Week,” “Pair-bonding began in the Stone Age as a way of organizing and controlling sexual conduct and providing a stable structure for child-rearing and the...

...Running Head: MID-TERM ESSAY: IKEA CASE STUDY 1 Mid-Term Essay: IKEA Case Study Emily Shinkle Indiana Wesleyan University Business, Analysis and Technology ADM-508 Rodney Swope July 29, 2012 Mid-Term Essay: IKEA Case Study All companies share three characteristics – goals, people, and structure (Robbins, Decenzo, & Coulter, 2011). IKEA, a global furniture company, exemplifies these characteristics in an excellent way. Mikael Ohisson (2011), President and CEO, says, “We’re a values-driven company on a never ending journey to be the leader in life at home”(www.ikea.com) Mikael and his team have proved this truly is their goal by setting a great example when it comes to other topics within business such as social responsibility, decision making, and strategic planning. IKEA is considered a multinational corporation (MNC), which simply means is a consumer had four homes in four different countries they could all be furnished from ceiling to floor in IKEA because this company sells their products in many different places (Robbins et al., 2011). The Swedish-based company currently has 287 stores in 26 countries and maintains 1,018 suppliers in 53 countries (www.ikea.com). The simple and inexpensive furnishings are popular in many different social and cultural settings, giving IKEA a well-rounded approach at business around the globe. It was not until 1994 that IKEA decided to expand to China. One reason for the expansion was because China...

...Synthesis Paper: Psyc 255 Research Methods Learned and Critiqued from A Biblical Perspective Denise Beck Liberty University Synthesis Paper: Psyc 255 Research Methods Learned and Critiqued from A Biblical Perspective The goals of this course according to our syllabus were to introduce us to the techniques of psychological research, to improve our understanding of how research is done and the methods used to do it, and to give us the ability to communicate competently about the ideas behind the research process. This paper will use myself as a case study to examine what I have learned about research as it applies to the aforementioned goals. An examination of those techniques and the idea of research itself will then be laid against the Bible’s guiding principles. What Have I Learned About Research at an Introductory Level? Why Use Research and the Scientific Method? In the field of mental health, professionals must be constantly looking for ways to help their patients (Cozby & Bates, 2012). Research is a way to explore what has been tried before. I have learned that understanding how to interpret the research can help you decide the legitimacy of the research and how to apply it to your situation. There are several ways to gather information to use to make decisions. This course has made me aware of the value of using the scientific method. While other methods rely on a feeling or personal judgment, the scientific method holds information to a higher standard...

...deemed to be relevant. The lack thereof, or on rare occasions’ the abundance of, money designated how my days would pan out, so being the ever inquisitive child that I was I figured the best thing for me to do would be to learn how money moves around; where it comes from, where it goes, how to make it, and to how spend it effectively, which led to me turning my focus to the study of business. It intrigued me how a wide ranging and vast the opportunities were to a successful entrepreneur, and once I conducted personal research projects on two of the UKs’ most famous businessmen, Sir Alan Sugar and Sir Richard Branson, I was sold. Business management to me means the application of everything I am genuinely interested in, such as the growth, maintenance, and development of a company, healthy competition, hard work, and determination, and also things I find I am intuitively good at, such as being a leader, making tough decisions, thorough thought analysis, and teamwork. These factors have moulded and shaped the way I live my life since my teenage years, and will ensure my later years are as successful as I planned. My first real dose of management experience came when I was working as a Youth Ambassador for Genesis Community, in 2005. This role had me implementing and carrying out my own projects, right from the initial brainstorm of what the young people I was working with would enjoy, to the evaluation, and development of further events. I was working in four London boroughs; Brent...

...Students Name Instructor Course Date Is evolution just another story? Evolution vs creationism Ever since the British naturalist Charles Darwin published his ground breaking theory The Origin of Species by Natural Selection in 1859, there has always been this argument of whether to believe in evolution or in creationism. On one hand, evolution narrates the story of emergence of life as to result from the unlikely reactions of several chemicals that existed about 3 billion years ago at a time when the earth was just a young planet. These chemicals would go on to form a self-replicating protein molecule (Dyson 13) that somehow and despite all the odds went on to form the genesis of all living things- plants, animals, the dead and the living. For billions of years a process of gradual selection called natural selection by Darwin, that only serves the best or the most fit to survive the terms of the environment has been and is constantly in work shaping the species of today and for the prolonged period that it has been in existence led to the emergence of different forms including as it were humans (Mitchell, Sherman and Tehon 27). Accordingly all livings are but relatives of each other and have descended from one single source. The alternative to evolution is creationism a theory which purports that all that we can see, touch and even what everything is was a product of design by a superpower and a super mind called God (Dyson 45). The world in the eyes of creationists is...

Everyone would have envied this career – and all in only 15 years. But Gazi was not satisfied, and with the enthusiasm of an eternal optimist that is a landmark trait of Gazi‟s, he was posing the next challenge: What lies next as the growing of existing businesses was not what he was looking for? Gazi was thinking about „The Next Big Thing.‟ He felt himself at a crossroads: What‟s next? Embarking on something new? Is identifying growth areas the new challenge for the future? Other questions which crossed his mind: How to run existing and new businesses? Are 24 hours a day enough? Will physical time be a serious obstacle for him? Is he supposed to create a line of managers, willing to take the right responsibility? As Gazi was pondering some options, he started to question himself: Why was he not content with what he had achieved so far? Is it time to dedicate more to his family? The...

...HUMAN CLONING Human Cloning Human Cloning One of the most controversial topics around the world today is human cloning. Knowledge rush defined cloning as “the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing human or growing cloned tissue from that individual.” Human cloning is also referred to as artificial human cloning. Cloning efforts date back to the 1800s with the attempts to clone sea urchins and frogs. As of today, human cloning has not been perfected or deemed safe. Human cloning should not be legalized due to the high possibility of wiping out the entire population, overcrowding the entire population and the many ethical and medical issues. More advanced research, studies and experiments are needed before human cloning can become a reality. Then we have therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Therapeutic cloning is defined by med terms as “a procedure when cells (typically from the skin), are taken from patients and then inserted into a fertilized egg whose nucleus has been removed.” The stem cells that are extracted are used to grow tissue that could possibly be a genetic match and treat disorders like diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Keep in mind that this is not 100% accurate and that it’s a big part of the bioethical controversy. Developing cures is a huge one. The effort to find cures for illnesses will become extinct because every scientist and doctor will be too focused on cloning and looking out for themselves. Then...

...The Chinese church in North America is an anomaly. In the last twenty years, more than three hundred new churches were started. There are three hundred student Bible study groups in Canada and the United States, almost every one of them started by the students themselves. Very evidently God has caused the Chinese in North America to be very responsive to the gospel. The Chinese church is educated, affluent and filled with talent.1 As Two-Third World missions come into prominence in mission circles, the church in the West is looking to the Chinese church to "pick up the baton" and carry out the Great Commission across cultural barriers. Yet with all seven hundred congregations the Chinese church is reaching only five percent of the Chinese community with the gospel.2 She is a small minority. And although endowed with a rich tradition of spirituality and evangelistic zeal, she is weak in two crucial areas: doctrinal maturity 3 and church consciousness.4 She is a young church. Jesus calls the church to disciple the nations (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus calls us to seek His Kingdom and righteousness in all that we do (Matthew 6:33). Paul tells us that if any human being is in Christ, everything – including his or her whole life -- is made new. The individual is new, or more precisely, there is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), a new world. This means that the Lordship of Christ includes His lordship over our work, our careers, our families, and our ambitions. We are to live as...
