DeyClose preview | Related articles |Related reference work articlesAbstract | Figures/Tables | ReferencesAbstractCustomer relationship management (CRM) implementation projects reflect agrowing conceptual shift from the traditional engineering view of projects. Suchprojects are complex and risky because they call for both organisational and technological changes. This requires effective project management acrossvarious phases of the implementation process. However, few empiricalresearches have dealt with these project management issues. The aim of thisresearch is to investigate how a “project team” manages CRM implementationprojects successfully, across the different phases of the implementationprocess. We conducted an in-depth case study of the “Firm-Clients Branch” ofa large telecommunications company in France. The findings show that, tomanage CRM implementation projects successfully, an integrated andbalanced approach is required. This involves appropriate system selection,effective process re-engineering and further development of organizationalstructures. We highlight the need for a “technochange approach” to achievesuccessful organisational transition and effective CRM implementation. Thestudy reveals that the project team plays a central role throughout thePurchaseimplementation phases. Furthermore the effectiveness of technochange depends on project team performance, technology efficiency and close coordination with stakeholders.Article Outline1. Introduction2.

Bünzli, Svetlana V. Eliseeva Close preview | Related articles | Related reference work articlesAbstract | ReferencesAbstractPresent-day advanced technologies heavily rely on the exciting magnetic and spectroscopic properties of lanthanide ions. In particular, their ability togenerate well-characterized and intense near-infrared (NIR) luminescence is exploited in any modern fiber-optic telecommunication network. In this feature article, we first summarize the whereabouts underlying the design of highly luminescent NIR molecular edifices and materials. We then focus ondescribing the main trends in three applications related to this spectral range: telecommunications, biosciences, and solar energy conversion. Intelecommunications, efforts concentrate presently on getting easilyprocessable polymer-based waveguide amplifiers. Upconversionnanophosphors emitting in the visible after NIR excitation are now ubiquitous in many bioanalyses while their application to bio-imaging is still in its early stages; however, highly sensitive NIR-NIR systems start to be at hand for both in vitro and in vivo imaging, as well as dual probes combining magneticPurchaseresonance and optical imaging. Finally, both silicon-based and dye-sensitized solar cells benefit from the downconversion and upconversion capabilities of lanthanide ions to harvest UV and NIR solar light and to boost the overall quantum efficiency of these next-generation devices.104 Quality-by-Design (QbD): An integrated processanalytical technology (PAT) approach for a dynamic pharmaceutical co-precipitation processcharacterization and process design spacedevelopment Original Research ArticleInternational Journal of Pharmaceutics, Volume 405,Issues 1-2, 28 February 2011, Pages 63-78Huiquan Wu, Maury White, Mansoor A. KhanClose preview | Related articles |Related reference work articlesAbstract | Figures/Tables | ReferencesAbstractThe aim of this work was to develop an integrated process analyticaltechnology (PAT) approach for a dynamic pharmaceutical co-precipitationprocess characterization and design space development. A dynamicco-precipitation process by gradually introducing water to the ternary systemof naproxen–Eudragit L100–alcohol was monitored at real-time in situ viaLasentec FBRM and PVM. 3D map of count-time-chord length revealed three distinguishable process stages: incubation, transition, and steady-state. Theeffects of high risk process variables (slurry temperature, stirring rate, andwater addition rate) on both derived co-precipitation process rates and finalchord-length-distribution were evaluated systematically using a 33 full factorialdesign. Critical process variables were identified via ANOVA for both transitionand steady state. General linear models (GLM) were then used for parameterestimation for each critical variable. Clear trends about effects of each criticalvariable during transition and steady state were found by GLM and wereinterpreted using fundamental process principles and Nyvlt's transfer model.PurchaseNeural network models were able to link process variables with response variables at transition and steady state with R2 of 0.88–0.98. PVM images evidenced nucleation and crystal growth. Contour plots illustrated design space via critical process variables’ ranges. It demonstrated the utility of integrated PAT approach for QbD development.Article Outline1. Introduction1.1. Some key concepts and tools in relevant regulatory documents1.2.

Consumers today are exposed to awide range of influences that include word-of-mouth communications, network externalities, and social signals. Diffusion modeling, the research field inmarketing that seeks to understand the spread of innovations throughout theirlife cycle, has adapted to describe and model these influences.We discuss efforts to model these influences between and across markets andbrands. In the context of a single market, we focus on social networks, network externalities, takeoffs and saddles, and technology generations. In the contextof cross-markets and brands, we discuss cross-country influences, differencesin growth across countries, and effects of competition on growth.On the basis of our review, we suggest that the diffusion framework, if it is toremain a state-of-the-art paradigm for market evolution, must broaden inscope from focusing on interpersonal communications to encompass thefollowing definition: Innovation diffusion is the process of the marketpenetration of new products and services that is driven by social influences,which include all interdependencies among consumers that affect variousmarket players with or without their explicit knowledge.Although diffusion modeling has been researched extensively for the pastPurchase40 years, we believe that this field of study has much more to offer in terms of describing and incorporating current market trends, which include the opening up of markets in emerging economies, web-based services, online social networks, and complex product –service structures.

This paper proposes and evaluates a methodology that adds reliability to NoC routing algorithms with minimal power and performance overheads. The key idea behind this methodology is to use the concept of complement routing in which two routing algorithms with disjoint sets of allowed turns are incorporated. According to this methodology, while a packet is routed by a routing algorithm, a redundant copy of that packet is routed by the complement of that routing algorithm. This is done by exploiting channels with lower utilization to route redundant packets. To find the complement of the used NoC routing algorithm, an analytical approach based on the channel dependency graph is presented. The methodology is applied to two NoCs using the dimension order and the Duato’s routing algorithms. These networks are simulated using an HDL-based NoC simulator along with the Synopsys Power Compiler tool. Results extracted by different traffic generation rates and by different error injection rates confirm that the proposed methodology provides similar reliability improvement in comparison with the flood-based routing algorithms. This methodology also decreases the performance and power consumption overheads as compared to the flood-based routing algorithms.Article Outline1. Introduction2. NoC overview2.1.
