Entry and technological performance in new technology domains: Technological opportunities, technology competition and technological relatedness KU Leuven
Entry and success in new technology domains (NTDs) is essential for firms’ long-term performance. We argue that firms' choices to enter NTDs and their subsequent performance in these domains are not only governed by firm–level factors but also by environmental characteristics. Entry is encouraged by the richness of opportunities for technology development, while technology competition by incumbent firms discourages entry and render entries that ...
Healthcare professionals' perspectives on development of assistive technology using the comprehensive assistive technology model Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
The implementation of technology in healthcare shows promising results and provides new opportunities in rehabilitation. However, the adoption of technology into daily care is largely dependent on the acceptance rate of end-users. This study aims to gather information from healthcare professionals on the development of new assistive technology that match users' needs using the Comprehensive Assistive Technology model. In total 27 healthcare ...
The effect of internal and external technology sourcing on firm performance throughout the technology life cycle University of Antwerp Hasselt University
In studies about the impact of technology sourcing on firm performance, the impact of the technology life cycle has thus far received scant attention. This paper investigates this topic from the knowledge-based perspective. Data was gathered from 22 PLD (Programmable Logic Device) manufacturers in the integrated circuit industry between 1986 and 2005, and used to test two hypotheses based on panel analysis: (1) that strategic alliance networks, ...
Electromigration-aware design technology co-optimization for SRAM in advanced technology nodes Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre
Static RAM (SRAM) is one of the critical components in advanced VLSI systems whose performance, capacity, and reliability have a decisive impact on the entire system. It offers the fastest memory in the storage hierarchy of modern computer systems. By moving toward the smaller CMOS technology nodes, the back end of the line (BEoL) interconnects are also fabricated in tighter pitch size. Hence, besides the power lines, SRAM word- and bit-line (WL ...
Organic transistor technology options for device performance versus technology options for increased circuit reliability and yield on foil KU Leuven
Last year, advances in organic device technology (such as device scaling, high K-dielectrics [1], ... ) enabled a substantial progress in performance. This resulted in an increase in the data rate of plastic transponder circuits from about 2 kbit/s [21 to EPC-compatible speeds (SO kbit/s). The organic semiconductor pentacene deposited from solution was replaced by a better-performing vapor-phase deposited pentacene, with a mobility being a ...
Technology Experience of Solid Organ Transplant Patients and Their Overall Willingness to Use Interactive Health Technology KU Leuven
The use of interactive health technology (IHT) is a promising pathway to tackle self-management problems experienced by many chronically ill patients, including solid organ transplant (Tx) patients. Yet, to ensure that the IHT is accepted and used, a human-centered design process is needed, actively involving end users in all steps of the development process. A first critical, predevelopment step involves understanding end users' ...
Ready or not for contact tracing? : investigating the adoption intention of COVID-19 contact-tracing technology using an extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model Ghent University University of Antwerp
The impact of parallel regulatory-health technology assessment scientific advice on clinical development. Assessing the uptake of regulatory and health technology assessment recommendations KU Leuven
AIMS: The parallel regulatory-health technology assessment scientific advice (PSA) procedure allows manufacturers to receive simultaneous feedback from both EU regulators and health technology assessment (HTA) bodies on development plans for new medicines. The primary objective of the present study is to investigate whether PSA is integrated in the clinical development programmes for which advice was sought. METHODS: Contents of PSA provided by ...
