Identifying Key Assessment Factors for a Company’s Innovation Capability Based on Intellectual Capital: An Application of the Fuzzy Delphi Method
Get PDFInnovation has become one of the most important sources of a company’s sustainable competitiveness. Therefore, every company strives continuously to improve its innovation capability. A company’s innovation capability is largely determined by various factors originating from its tangible and intangible resources. A lot of research related to increasing innovation capability with assessment factors originating from tangible resources has been carried out, whereas the use of assessment factors originating from intangible capital, such as intellectual capital, is still relatively limited. This study aims to identify and screen the key assessment factors for innovation capability, based on the intellectual capital of Indonesia’s manufacturing sectors. This study used a systematic literature review and focus group discussions to establish 18 initial assessment factors, after which 14 final factors were screened out by industry practitioners and academic experts using the Fuzzy Delphi Method. Four factors had the highest de-fuzzy value (0.89), namely adaptation, innovation behavior, organization culture, climate, and forward linkages. The results also showed that three factors of the aspects of human capital (adaptation, innovation behavior, and high motivation and commitment) are considered important determinants for the assessment of innovation capabilities, based on intellectual capital

Feasibility Study Approach for Information Technology Investments
No full textKemajuan Teknologi Informasi yang menjanjikan berbagai solusi dan peluang membuat banyak perusahaan tertarik untuk menginvestasikan modal dalam jumlah yang besar untuk menggunakannya.
Namun, sukses, kurang berhasil dan gaga1 selalu terjadi dalam kegiatan investasi tersebut. Investasi pada bidang teknologi bagaikan pedang bermata dua, karena ciri dan karakteristik teknologi yang dapat berupa tiga wajah yakni: the good, the bad, dan the ugly. Teknologi akan menjadi kunci keberhasilan bagi suatu perusahaan jika dikelola dengan baik, mulai dari tahap feasibility study,instalasi, uji coba sampai pada tahap operasionalisasi.
Paper ini akan menyajikan suatu pendekatan studi kelayakan, khususnya untuk investasi teknologi informasi. Suatu kerangka berpikir dan analisis akan mengemukakan empat aspek utama dalam evaluasi kelayakan yakni : Strategic Feasibility(W), Economic Feasibility(EF), Technical
Feasibility(TF), Implementation Feasibility (IF). Selain itu akan diuraikan juga bentuk-bentuk manfaat dan biaya baik yang bersifat tangible maupun yang intangible serta klasifikasi risk yang harus diperhitungkan dan diantisipasi dalam setiap pengambilan keputusnn investasi teknologi

Weight Annotation in Information Extraction
No full textThe framework of document spanners abstracts the task of information extraction from text as a function that maps every document (a string) into a relation over the document's spans (intervals identified by their start and end indices). For instance, the regular spanners are the closure under the Relational Algebra (RA) of the regular expressions with capture variables, and the expressive power of the regular spanners is precisely captured by the class of vset-automata-a restricted class of transducers that mark the endpoints of selected spans. In this work, we embark on the investigation of document spanners that can annotate extractions with auxiliary information such as confidence, support, and confidentiality measures. To this end, we adopt the abstraction of provenance semirings by Green et al., where tuples of a relation are annotated with the elements of a commutative semiring, and where the annotation propagates through the (positive) RA operators via the semiring operators. Hence, the proposed spanner extension, referred to as an annotator, maps every string into an annotated relation over the spans. As a specific instantiation, we explore weighted vset-automata that, similarly to weighted automata and transducers, attach semiring elements to transitions. We investigate key aspects of expressiveness, such as the closure under the positive RA, and key aspects of computational complexity, such as the enumeration of annotated answers and their ranked enumeration in the case of numeric semirings. For a number of these problems, fundamental properties of the underlying semiring, such as positivity, are crucial for establishing tractability.Funding

Innovation Capabilty (IC) Dashboard Based On Intellectual Capital: A Conceptual Framework
Get PDFThe measurement of innovation capability has been recognized as a vital process in the management of
continuous innovation activity. Various models of innovation capability measurement have been developed and applied in
many companies. However, the measurement methods developed tend to focus on the aspect of tangible assets or tangible
capital of the companies. The measurement models of innovation capability based on the intangible capital aspect such as
intellectual and knowledge capital are still limited. This article is intended to propose a conceptual framework for the
measurement of innovation capability based on the intellectual capital in the form of dashboard. The models of measurement
used three elements of intellectual capital, that is, human capital, structural capital, and social capital with the emphasis on
the role of social capital in order to increase the innovation capability for the intra-and inter-organizational social capital
