Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering
Upton, David M.; Kim, BowonCase HBS-609018-EService and Operations ManagementExplores the journey of aggressive learning and capability building in the operations of a major Korean Shipbuilder. While DSHM had once used its superior learning capability to topple its Japanese competition, it now faced the potential for a similar attack from new Chinese competitors. Without outsourcing some of its work to China, DSHM would become uncompetitive. However, in outsourcing the work, some skills would necessarily have to be transf...Starting at €8.20

Technology Transfer at U.S. Universities
Hamermesh, Richard G.; Lerner, Josh; Kiron, DavidCase HBS-807124-EService and Operations ManagementTechnology transfer from U.S. universities to industry has increased dramatically in the last 25 years. Reviews the history of technology transfer with particular emphasis on the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. It then examines how universities responded to Bayh-Dole, the growth of technology transfer offices, and compares how three different universities (MIT, Stanford, and Harvard) approach technology transfer. Provides an overview of the technology tra...Starting at €8.20
