The Net Impact of Netbooks? It Depends on Who Uses Them for What
http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=2107
Small, inexpensive netbooks -- portable computers smaller than notebooks but dependent on the Internet for file-storage and software -- are likely to have a disruptive impact on the PC industry, but there are many questions to resolve, experts say. Will netbooks poach sales of laptops? Are they replacements for smartphones? How will a weak economy affect sales? Will the devices increase the popularity of cloud computing? Stay tuned as this new technology continues to evolve.

Want to Crank Up Corporate Venture Capital Performance? Consider Matching Independent VC Pay Packages
http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=2102
Big firms launch venture capital units to help keep their competitive edge. But to be successful, they must set up the right incentive packages for their VC staff -- not a trivial task. Firms often structure internal VC staff salaries the same way they compensate corporate staffers not charged with taking such risk, says Wharton management professor Gary Dushnitsky. These firms should consider compensating their internal VCs like independent VCs, giving them a stake in the future returns of the ventures in which they invest, Dushnitsky says in a new research paper.

POR LA CADA DEL CONSUMO EN EEUU
LA CRISIS CAUSA EL PRIMER RETROCESO DE LA HISTORIA EN VENTAS POR
INTERNET


EUROPA PRESS

La reduccin del gasto de los consumidores
estadounidenses por la crisis financiera y la
incertidumbre econmica provoc en noviembre una cada
del 4% en las compras realizadas a travs de Internet, el primer
retroceso en la historia del comercio electrnico, segn comScore.

En concreto, los datos analizados por la consultora
especializada en comercio electrnico, que comenz a analizar el
sector en 2001, muestran que durante los 23 primeros das de
noviembre los consumidores de EEUU gastaron 8.190 millones de
dlares (6.358 millones de euros), un 4% menos que en el mismo
periodo de 2007.

"Pese al reciente alivio proporcionado a los consumidores por
el precio de la gasolina, la volatilidad del mercado burstil,
la debilidad del mercado inmobiliario y la fragilidad del
mercado laboral representan oscuros nubarrones sobre las cabezas
de los estadounidenses en esta temporada de compras", dijo el
presidente de comScore, Gian Fulgoni.

"Con la confianza baja y ms apreturas en los ingresos
disponibles, las primeras semanas de noviembre han sido muy
decepcionantes, lo que ha provocado el descenso interanual de
las ventas 'online', aunque puede ser que algunos consumidores
piensen esperar para realizar sus compras para aprovechar
posibles rebajas", aadi.

De este modo, la consultora estadounidense pronostica que el
gasto de los estadounidenses en compras realizadas a travs de
Internet ascender esta temporada navidea a 29.200 millones de
dlares (22.691 millones de euros), lo que supondra un
estancamiento respecto al ao pasado y muy por debajo del
crecimiento del 19% registrado en 2007 respecto a 2006.

Por otro lado, una encuesta elaborada semanalmente por ComScore
apunta que un 47% de los consumidores consultados apuntaron un
recorte en el nmero de regalos que compraran, mientras que un
46% de los encuestados dijo que comprara regalos de menor
precio. Adems, el 37% de los consumidores reconoci que
empleara ms tiempo en buscar mejores ofertas a travs de
Internet.

Can X Prizes Spur Innovation?
Contests such as Peter Diamandis' X Prizes offer big purses for breakthrough ideas. But can prize money do more to stimulate innovation than existing incentives?

Joint R&D Projects ...

Arranz, N.; Arroyabe, J. C., "Joint R&D Projects as Complex Systems: A Framework of Analysis," Engineering Management, IEEE Transactions on , vol.55, no.4, pp.552-565, Nov. 2008
Abstract: This paper proposes a model to analyze joint R&D projects from a systemic approach. We argue that joint R&D projects are an economic and organizational reality that can be studied through their two principal aspects: from the perspective of the process developed to fulfill the objectives of the project and from the point of view of the network of partners constituted to undertake the project. We define the joint R&D project as a sociotechnical system in interaction with its environment and explain it through three subsystems: technological, structural, and governance. Using a sample of 202 European institutions involved in a wide range of joint R&D projects, this study provides empirical evidence to explain joint R&D projects through the separate study of each subsystem and their characteristic variables. Our results show interrelatedness of subsystems and the factors that determine the structure and governance of joint projects, including practical implications that may be useful for their running and management.
