Core strength or Achilles’ heel:Organizational competencies and the performance of R&D collaborations
Full text linkThe three essays collected in this dissertation advance our understanding of how organizational competencies and R&D objectives are related with partner selection and R&D performance at the project level. The first essay shows how the organizational competencies and R&D prime objective of the focal firm are related with who is seen as the most important partner in the R&D project. The second essay examines how organizational competencies affect the innovation performance of companies when collaborating with an external R&D organization. The third essay focuses on the relationship of absorptive capacity and knowledge distance with new product development performance
Collaborative Algorithms for Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks
Full text linkIn this paper, we present the design of the communication in a wireless sensor network. The resource limitations of a wireless sensor network, especially in terms of energy, require an integrated, and collaborative approach for the different layers of communication. In particular, energy-efficient solutions for medium access control, clusterbased routing, and multipath creation and exploitation are discussed. The proposed MAC protocol is autonomous, decentralized and designed to minimize power consumption. Scheduling of operations, e.g. for the MAC protocol, is naturally supported by a clustered structure of the network. The multipath on-demand routing algorithm improves the reliability of data routing. The approaches taken and presented are designed to work together and support each other
