TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the value drivers of the culture and creative industries in Taiwan and found that novelty, complementarity, network externality and resource scarcity are important value drivers.
Abstract: For decades, industrial policies in Taiwan are mostly focus on high technology industries and have developed an effective subsidy models. However, over the last few years, the culture and creative industries (CCI) have become another economic force. The culture and creative industries subsequently gained a new challenge on the political agenda. Moreover, Taiwan successful industrial policy and experience in high tech industries is difficult to transfer to CCI. We think the challenge comes from that policy and subsidy model should be adjusted according to industrial characteristics but there remain important gaps in what we know a lack of understanding of how the industrial characteristics influence the CCI to create value; and a clear view of what the strategic investment competitive advantage in these industries lies. Therefore, we adopted exploratory case study method to analyze deeply one research question: what are the value drivers of CCI. This study found that CCI has four value drivers, which are novelty, complementarity, network externality and resource scarcity. The results of this study will help the growth of the cultural & creative industry in Taiwan, rapidly and successfully improving its competitiveness.

TL;DR: The objective of the project was to develop and implement a value-based assessment method of the supportability for a new aircraft entering into service by exploring the relation between the logistic support resources, the fleet's availability, and the cost.
Abstract: This article starts from an airframer's need to quantitatively assess supportability (logistic support) strategies for the entry-into-service of a new aircraft type Entries-into-service are often characterized by low maturity and early life failures, for which conventional reliability metrics are not useful The objective of our project was to develop and implement a value-based assessment method of the supportability for a new aircraft entering into service by exploring the relation between the logistic support resources, the fleet's availability, and the cost This article applies the general trade-off framework of the Value Operations Methodology, a value engineering method aimed at facilitating decision making Value in this context represents supportability effectiveness, and describes what is important to a stakeholder during decision making Based on interviews and literature, Value is found to be determined by both the fleet's availability and the total cost of logistic support The average stakeholder's preferences indicate a slight preference for maximizing a fleet's availability To implement the required availability and cost models, data analyses, a survey amongst operators and suppliers, the design of a stochastic fleet simulation, as well as the creation of General Linear Models have been conducted Three component types are investigated: engine major units, line replaceable units with a NO GO dispatch condition (inoperable), and line replaceable units with a GO IF (operable under certain conditions) dispatch condition The logistic elements of spare provisioning level and repair capacity are found to be mutually significant Also, the number of airline operators to be supported is classified as significant, except for components with a GO IF dispatch condition The final result is a simple assessment tool, able to provide a quick assessment of supportability strategies, implemented at, and accepted by our industrial partner

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of optimisation is based on value for money approach using value engineering tool to choose the best solution from any possible alternatives, the result shows that the best solutions is an alternative succeding to avoid the flood with the highest impact in disturbing socio economic activities.
Abstract: A problem solving of floods in urban area is a complex process. There is no a generale solution can be used to solve the problem of floods in any cases. The solution of floods should be adjusted to the characteristic of flood fenamenon in a certain location. There are some alternative solutions could be created to solve the problem, it is however the best decision should be found out. This research contributes to carry out an optimisation model to find out the most effective and efficient solution. The concept of optimisation is based on value for money approach using value engineering tool to choose the best solution from any possible alternatives. The result shows that the best solution is an alternative succeding to avoid the flood with the highest impact in disturbing socio economic activities. Keywords—flood, urban area, risk, value engineering, optimisation
