“…Research of the kind described in this section has made contributions to management theory and practice. It has increased the effectiveness of industrial engineering and technology management processes in the semiconductor industry (Cohen,et al [59], Weber, et al [175] [176] [184]- [186]), and it provided economic models that characterized a variety of high tech industries (e.g., Berglund, et al, [22], Biegl, et al [23], Hasenauer, et al [97] [98], Weber, et al [177] [178], Weber & Yang [187]- [191]). It has also contributed to novel theory in the fields of consumer behavior (Albar & Jetter [4], Zenobia, et al, [199]- [202]), knowledge management (Ploykitikoon & Weber [143], Weber [190], Weber,et al [195a], Weber & Yang [189]), R&D management (Ploykitikoon & Weber [144] [145]), open innovation (Mayande,et al [116]- [119], Yang, et al [197], Ploykitikoon & Weber [145]) and organizational change (Yang,et al [197]).…”
