CO-EVOLUTION BETWEEN CCC-DRIVEN CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT AND TRANSFORMATION OF R&D – AMAZON’S ENDEAVOR Yuji Tou1, Chihiro Watanabe 2,3, Pekka Neittaanmäki2, 1Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, 2 University of Jyväskylä, Finland and 3International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria ABSTRACT Amazon became the world R&D leader in 2017 by rapidly increasing R&D investment. The company’s extremely large amount of R&D funds is the result of an ample free cash flow generated by sophisticated cash conversion cycle (CCC) management. Increased R&D induced business advancement and lean cost structure construction leading to further increase in cash flow which has stimulated interaction between vendors, customers, and Amazon via the Amazon marketplace. Activated interaction accelerated CCC advancement, a subsequent free cash flow increase, and user-driven innovation, thus accelerated the transformation of routine and periodic alteration activities into significant improvement simultaneously. All of these components function together as a consolidated sophisticated machine.

In light of the increasing concern to R&D resources development without the dilemma of a productivity decline that most digital economies are now confronting, this paper demonstrated the above hypothetical view.

An intensive empirical analysis focusing on the development trajectory of Amazon’s technofinancing system over a period from 1997 to 2018 was conducted.

An insightful suggestion to neo open innovation that fuses financing management and R&D management was thus provided KEYWORDS R&D, Transformation, Cash flow management, Cash conversion cycle, Amazon Full Text: http://aircconline.com/ijmit/V11N3/11319ijmit01.pdf

CO-EVOLUTIONARY COUPLING BETWEEN CAPTURED AND UNCAPTURED GDP CYCLES: CROSS LEARNING FROM AMAZON AND FINLAND MODELS FOR SUSTAINABILITY Yuji Tou1, Chihiro Watanabe 2,3, Pekka Neittaanmäki2, 1Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, 2 University of Jyväskylä, Finland and 3International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria ABSTRACT A solution to the critical problem of a dilemma between R&D expansion and productivity decline that a majority of information and communication technology (ICT) leaders have been confronting in the digital economy is expected. It can be expected by a spinoff from economic functionality-seeking GDP-based co evolution cycle to supra-functionality beyond an economic value-seeking uncaptured GDP-driven convolution cycle. However, the transformation dynamism remains a black box. By means of numerical simulations based on empirical analyses of the development trajectories of global ICT leaders, focusing on Amazon and Finland, together with an intensive review of preceding analyses, this paper attempted to elucidate the inside the black box of the above dynamism. By developing a practically applicable numerical approach, inspired attempts to explore a new elucidation frontier were conducted, thereby enabling a new concept of co-evolutionary coupling between two cycles to be postulated. An insightful suggestion regarding possible consequences in the future stemming from the trajectory option was thus provided.

ABSTRACT E-commerce has increased recently because of the development of the internet and has become a new concept that is applicable to trade transaction and services providing, using information technology. This is known as e-commerce that is a means of communicating information products or services through technical tools. This research proposed model is able to take advantage of Block chain technology to develop e-commerce especially consumer to consumer. The proposed model adds some advantages to ecommerce operations, and the possibility of developing them to reach a high percentage of profits by using block chain technology which led to verify the information of products offered for sale. In addition, to the possibility of distributing feedback to all Block chain users, through which it develops the mechanism of trust and cooperation between consumers, it is considered a reference point to explore the behaviour of commercial consumers which is stored in the data file of consumers. This model facilitates business processes between consumer and consumer, eliminates the central role of large business companies in controlling and setting restrictions, and to the development and expansion of this type of trade.

NATIONAL CULTURAL DIMENSIONS AND ELECTRONIC CLINICAL RECORDS ACCEPTANCE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY Ouiame BENALI IDRISSI and Khalid CHAFIK, Abdelmalek Essaadi University, Morocco ABSTRACT The purpose of the present paper is to describe the development of a measurement scale, to assess the impact of the national cultural factors on the electronic clinical records acceptance in the Ibn Sina Hospital Center(CHUIS)in Morocco. The methodology assumed is based on the Churchill paradigm (1979).Thus, our contribution focuses on the exploratory phase, where the items have been analysed using principal components analysis (PCA) and internal consistency with Cronbach’s Alpha (α). The results show a satisfactory factorial structure and excellent reliability of all the items.
