“…ISM has been used successfully in various fields: energy management (Saxena et al , 1992), information technology (Kanungo, 2009), manufacturing strategy (Singh et al , 2007), organizational behaviour (Jyoti et al , 2010), performance management (Manoharan et al , 2010), project management (Iyer and Sagheer, 2010), risk management (Jha and Devaya, 2008), supply chain management (Ravi and Shankar, 2005), strategic management (Bolanos et al , 2005), total quality management (Sahney et al , 2006), vendor selection (Mandal and Deshmukh, 1994) and waste management (Sharma et al , 1995) to identify the relationships among the elements.…”

PurposeThere is a concern in literature about the critical elements of lean enterprise (LE) that can be represented as pillars of lean enterprise excellence. However, existing frameworks proposed on LE excellence are very few. The purpose of this paper is to develop a relationship model among the pillars of a proposed framework of LE excellence in Indian manufacturing industry by Jasti et al. (2020) with the help of interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and structural equation modelling (SEM).Design/methodology/approachThe ISM is constructed on two exemplary cases of lean operations from two Indian manufacturing organisations. These cases were selected based on the implementation of lean practices in respective organisations. The two manufacturing organisations which implemented lean practices at different levels were selected as contenders for constructing ISM. The relationships among pillars and constructs of LE framework are obtained from ISM, and later subjected to statistical testing for model fit by using SEM. The input to SEM was the respondent's data collected in a previous study.FindingsThe outcome of the present study revealed that the successful implementation of LE framework requires an appropriate strategy along with top management commitment to get a complete benefits of LE. The study has proposed a strategy to implement the proposed LE framework in Indian manufacturing industry. This study has revealed that ISM developed based on the focal company that implemented lean practices effectively is statistically fit for LE framework.Research limitations/implicationsThe study has established paired relationships among lean pillars for an effective implementation of LE framework. The investigation was started by collecting opinions of experts to perform the appropriate interpretations subsequently. However, the expert judgements can be qualitative in nature and prone to bias and impact the final outcome. To overcome these a large-scale empirical survey is suggested to provide a better catch for interactions in LEs.Practical implicationsThis study helps in providing concrete practical implications to both academic researchers as well as industry professionals. The practitioners normally focus on finding readymade strategies for implementing LE in the organizations. The comprehensiveness of the present work helps the practitioners in implementing LE strategy with ease. The study revealed that management commitment and leadership is driving force but needs strategic implementation methodology for successful implementation.Social implicationsManufacturing industries across the world have been struggling to understand and implement LE strategy effectively. Most of the governments across the world are supporting and motivating various industry practitioners to implement LE strategy by providing financial assistance for conducting training programmes. However, many organizations across the world were not able to implement LE strategy successfully. The present study provides a strategy to implement LE framework effectively in an organization.Originality/valueThe study offers a unique approach for analysing the underlying relationships among pillars of LE for effective management. Researchers can use the results of this study for developing frameworks in various domains of LE.

“…Robust R&D operations are undertaken if protection is provided, which leads to the start of profitable businesses. Failure to protect software firms' developed products might affect a company's ability to operate freely at the primary level in the global market (Clarkson & Dekorte, 2006), which in turn would threaten a firm's own existence (Dedrick & Kraemer, 1993;Jyoti et al, 2010). Software innovations are usually incremental, fast-changing, and have a short lifecycle.…”

Software technology is seeing enormous growth as it is used in all fields of technology. It is continuously evolving at a rapid pace and has a short span of the technological life cycle. The use of the software is not restricted only to information and communication technology but is used in all fields of technology. In many cases, the inventive step of a product or service lies solely in the software. Hence, the software plays a crucial role in all fields of technology. However, ease of copying poses a financial risk for the software industry, thereby creating major disincentives to the development of innovation. Still, the technology is changing very fast and firms investing in this technology expect quick returns on their innovation investments. Strategies for generating and managing intellectual property have subsequently taken center stage for information and communication technology companies, and patents have become an important feature providing maximum protection for any technology. Hence, intellectual property rights strategies in general and patenting strategies especially play a crucial role in the information and communication technology industry to be globally competitive. Firms never publish or disclose their intellectual property strategies; hence, this study makes use of the literature review to highlight various intellectual property management strategies used by information and communication technology firms for managing their intellectual property. These strategies can be offensive or defensive and may be used as proactive or reactive depending on various aspects such as market, territory, technology, or time. The insights provided in this work may help the research community from the IT domain in industry and academia to learn and modify their strategies for patent acquisition.

“…The software market was born in the US and it still acts as a trendsetter for software patenting by opening its doors to software and business method patents (Cameron et al, 2006). Other countries are following the US to protect the interest of their researchers, as the failure to protect might affect a company's ability to operate freely at the basic level in the global market (Clarkson & Dekorte, 2006), which in turn would threaten their own existence (Dedrick & Kraemer, 1993;Jyoti et al, 2010). The best way to survive is to study and learn from the patenting strategies followed by the market leaders who are successfully protecting their inventions via means of patenting.…”

The number of patents being filed around the globe in the field of information andcommunication technologies is increasing each year. Patents are seen as strategic assets forcompanies as they provide a competitive advantage and at the same time ensure freedom tooperate and form a basis for new alliances. However, they can also be viewed as restrictions andmarket barriers for new entrants who need to build their own intellectual property rightsportfolio, which in turn would give them credibility in the market. There is a need, therefore, tolearn from the world leaders who have aligned their business strategies with intellectualproperty strategies and have succeeded. As no publication or public disclosure about intellectualproperty strategy has been made by any of the companies, the only way to understandintellectual property strategy is to look at patent filings, analyze them and, based on the trends,deduce strategy. This paper tries to identify the intellectual property strategies of five US andIndian IT companies by analyzing their patents.
