Therefore, different relationships between oligopoly companies will lead to different responses in their decisions on R&D investment. A correlation deduced from different responses of oligopoly companies in R&D investment with the complete information tactic game theory is presented, and the R&D investment of oilfield service companies was analyzed with this correlation. The correlations of Schlumberger's R&D investment, Halliburton's R&D investment and Baker Hughes' R&D investment were established and analyzed. Meanwhile, two regression models were presented. One was composed of Schlumberger's R&D investment in the previous year and Halliburton's R&D investment. The other was composed of Schlumberger's R&D investment and Baker Hughes' R&D investment in the same year. The accuracy of these two models was proved to be good.展开更多

It is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. Taking ABC Software Company as an example, the performances before and after the introduction of CMMI in the firm were compared. The results indicated that after two years of application, the productivity increased 92%, and the ability of detecting errors improved 26.45% ; while the rate of faults and the cost of software development dropped 12.45% and 77.55%, respectively. To conclude, small project-based firms benefit a lot if they take CMMI into their process of innovation management, particularly for those R&D firms, since the implementation of CMMI leads them to a promising future with higher efficiency and better effects.展开更多

Entrepreneurship is a global world. It is not possible to think about economic driving force of technological development and scientific research. It materializes knowledge and involvement of people and society. Expansion of business activities is a source of individual country's economic performance. It contributes to the development of people's living standards. In every market economy, it represents an irreplaceable role for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A strong representation of"micro-enterprises" can be found in the field of personal services. Companies within the course of their existence go through particular stages of their development--from their foundation through the stage of steady development. After this stage, there comes their decline that can develop even into their termination. We indicate this process as a company life cycle. The aim of the submitted project is to map the life cycle of particularly chosen companies providing accommodation and catering services and to find a mutual relation among observed quantities and their stable economic positions in the market. The analysis is based on the data of macro-economic character, the data about development of receipts in the sector, development of inflation, tempo of economic growth, and development of consumer prices. Out of a company, non-financial factors will also be considered. The core of the analysis is the stage of sustainable stability of the assessed companies. The point of the findings is revelation of the causes of risks of possible transition into the stage of termination due to the decline of services volume, decline of profitability, and long-lasting payment insolvency. The contribution of the project is to draw our attention to possible risks of critical situation development and to propose how to avoid them so that the company will not occur in financial straits. Achieved information could assist the company management to make relevant decisions.展开更多

Itis a market-oriented mechanism for promoting energy efficiency. But its carrier----Energy Service Company (ESCO) isinfluenced by many factors in the development process in China. This article analyzed these risk factors by using ISM approach,got the ISM based model for the risks of ESCO and gave detailed explanation to this model, hoping to contribute to ESCOdevelopment in China.展开更多
