Business model innovation to add a Web-based component to the business strategy, at the level of firms, is proof that SYNTHESiST’s appreciative theory of development works. Adapting the business model is co-evolution while the Web is comprised of general purpose technologies that, with the right organization structure, enable innovation. With continuous interaction between this two [...]

Here’s a story of passion and hard work(-in-progress)! (Note: As a work around on the technical constraint between posts and pages in the template, this Post links to the Working Paper that summarizes the status, as work-in-progress, of an appreciative theory of economic change and development for emerging markets.) Please click on this link to [...]

In 2010, researchers using spectral analysis published a paper that claims significant statistical proof that Kondratieff Waves exist and that its period is 52-53 years. This proof supports Nikolai Kondratieff’s predictions first presented in 1925 that Joseph Schumpeter also studied in his 1939 book Business Cycles. Further, this proof raises some rhetorical questions like: [...]

A few moons behind the leading edge, I have installed improvements in the social network and search capabilities supporting SYNTHESiST. As with the addition of the SYNTHESiST Facebook Page in early January (maybe a year late), adding the Facebook-like button is a response to the rapid growth of social networks and the mainstream acceptance of [...]

After two years, SYNTHESiST has moved from just looking at innovation systems and change management at firm- and industry-level into a tentative development framework for emerging markets. Using this Post as main source, I have created a Page entitled An Appreciative Theory of Economic Change and Development under Working Papers on the Sidebar at right. [...]

The second year anniversary for SYNTHESiST is coming up on February 25, 2011. The need to improve content and advances in technology are driving me to innovate. SYNTHESiST has progressed some ways. Still, a lot more work needs to be done in the coming twelve months to improve itself in content and technology to improve [...]

Engaging in basic science research is sexy but not practical as the basis of development for the Philippines. Note that science, technology and even innovation have different goals and means and affect different constituencies and incentives or penalties, as policy areas. I believe it is in the mis-appreciation of these differences as they affect policy [...]

The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) is the only example I know of a continuing triumph from one of the emerging markets that resulted to global leadership via government-private sectoral innovation systems among ASEAN countries. Philippines back story. Sadly, for the Philippines, Malaysia’s continuing success in implementing growth in total area planted to oil palm [...]

The Taguchi method underwhelmingly called Quality Engineering (QE) have changed the face of industrial management all over the world. To me, that places Genichi Taguchi in the select list of SYNTHESiST change leaders. Taguchi’s QE, both on-line and off-line robust design, are not well known outside industry and are somewhat controversial to the community of [...]

Professors Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki share the 2010 Nobel Prize for the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling Reaction. For now, the Reaction has been mainly useful in synthesizing drugs – including those against cancer – that mimic those found in nature but are hard-to-extract. The image at right (Source: Wikipedia) shows the process mechanism for [...]

Th 2010 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was updated on October 11, 2010: Peter Diamond (MIT), Dale Mortensen (Northwestern University), Christopher Pissarides (LSE) shared the prize for research that improved the understanding of search frictions in markets. Their work allowed a more realistic case than classic perfect competition in [...]

Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856 – 1915) is considered the father of scientific management and first management consultant. He pioneered methods engineering and was the first to analyze work in detail and set them up as rational operations for efficiency. His innovative methods made workers in the West and Japan much wealthier than workers under Soviet-style [...]
