The patent database is often used by designers to search for inspirational stimuli for innovative design opportunities because of the large size, extensive variety and the massive quantity of design information contained in patent documents. Growing work on design-by-analogy has adopted various vectorization approaches for associating design docume...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The patent database is often used in searches of inspirational stimuli for innovative design opportunities because of its large size, extensive variety and rich design information in patent documents. However, most patent mining research only focuses on textual information and ignores visual information. Herein, we propose a convolutional neural ne...
Article
Firms hold excess resources, known as slack, that could be valuable as the environment becomes more complex. This article provides evidence on how higher environmental complexity alters the slack-performance relationship in the long run by introducing three types of effects: the efficiency effect, the profitability effect, and the incentives effect...

Excess resources or slack can increase the probability of survival of a firm by cushioning environmental shocks or reducing internal conflicts by power but they can also create a comfort sensation that reduce firm’s competitiveness. These time-dependent advantages and disadvantages of slack are contingent on firm-speficific and environmental factor...

Purpose This paper aims to develop the concept of internal search of ideas to show the contrast between search strategies adopted by firms that introduce new products into local and international markets. Design/methodology/approach Based on data from 2,652 innovative firms, the paper uses factor analysis to explore and confirm appropriate groups...
Article
We analyze the role of industry-related factors in the performance of Colombian firms between 1995 and 2012. Using hierarchical linear models for variance decomposition, we find that the role of industry-related factors varies considerably when different measures of firm performance are analyzed and that it is smaller than the share of total varian...

El proceso de descentralización le otorgó a las entidades territoriales en Colombia la tarea, entre otras, de mejorar la calidad de la educación. Formalmente, se diseñó el Sistema General de Participaciones (SGP) como un mecanismo para otorga a las entidades territoriales los recursos necesarios para cumplir sus nuevas tareas. Aunque los recursos s...
Article
The decentralization process assigned territorial entities in Colombia the task, among others, of improving the quality of education. Formally, the General Participation System (GPS) was designedas a mechanism to assign territorial entitiesthe necessary resources to comply with their new tasks. Although resources are necessary, appropriate coordina...
