Managing Innovation Through Market Discontinuity 2005-07-12 03:00:02

The impact of rapid innovation on business dynamics has been examined using semiconductor companies in the wireless device market as a case study. Semiconductor companies can be divided into three business models based on their value chain focus: technology focused, mixed model and full scale. Each model needs to respond uniquely to the challenge of rapid innovation. At the highest level, all companies need to ensure that they have developed partnering as a core competency. Technology focused companies need to build alliances around the extended enterprise to increase market access.

Managing Risk in Block Based Designs: A Front End Acceptance Methodology 2006-04-25 03:55:29 Cadence Design Systems

It has recently become commonly accepted knowledge that System on Chip designs are tending to use more and more pre-built IP blocks as the most common way to achieve more reuse and faster time to markets. However, as most designers who have attempted this approach, will substantiate, this approach has lots of pitfalls and unforeseen risks. This paper outlines a very formal, step-by-step process or methodology by which design specifications as well as component blocks are analyzed for correctness, completeness and feasibility even before the design is started. This process is used as a way to quantify risk very early in the design phase. Having analyzed the data and understood the risks, design teams will be better suited to improve predictability.

To maximize profits and enhance the customer experience, John Deere needs its distributors to sell and service its increasingly sophisticated products efficiently. John Deere Information Systems (JDIS) has developed advanced field force automation tools that let agents in the field or shop use a notebook or desktop PC to diagnose equipment, check parts availability, book orders and more. JDIS recommends Intel Centrino mobile technology-based notebooks to its dealers and is converting its back-end dealer support systems from a RISC platform to an Intel Xeon processor-based platform. Additionally, John Deere enhances corporate productivity with an Intel wireless LAN at its world headquarters, and many dealers are doing likewise.
