A design reuse technology to increase productivity through automated corporate memory system
Increasing competitiveness in engineering industry pressurizes companies to improve productivity of every single element in processes. As a result of this pressure, increasing productivity of design staff and design systems is systematically investigated by industry professionals and researchers. Design reuse appears as an effective approach to increase productivity levels. It has been already used personally by designers consciously or subconsciously.

Managing corporate memory on the semantic web
Corporate memory (CM) is the total body of data, information and knowledge required to deliver the strategic aims and objectives of an organization. In the current market, the rapidly increasing volume of unstructured documents in the enterprises has brought the challenge of building an autonomic framework to acquire, represent, learn and maintain CM, and efficiently reason from it to aid in knowledge discovery and reuse. The concept of semantic web is being introduced in the enterprises to structure information in a machine readable way and enhance the understandability of the disparate information. Due to the continual popularity of the semantic web, this paper develops a framework for CM management on the semantic web. The proposed approach gleans information from the documents, converts into a semantic web resource using resource description framework (RDF) and RDF Schema and then identifies relations among them using latent semantic analysis technique. The efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated through empirical experiments conducted on two case studies.

Netzwerke und Unternehmensentwicklung im frühen 19. Jahrhundert: Das Beispiel der Schoeller-Häuser
Against the backdrop of the questions that arise from New Institutional Economy and its «cultural turn», the article contributes to the investigations of network-economy in the early 19th century by looking at five members of the Schoeller- families, all of them textile entrepreneurs in Düren/Rhineland, Brno/Moravia and Vienna. The article explores the various types of networks that were centred around family and kinship, other local and regional entrepreneurs as well as interregional business partners mostly within the same branch. The main focus of the article is on the multiple functions of these networks. Based on an analysis of business correspondence the article concentrates on the economic functions of these networks, while also including social and cultural dimensions of networking. Finally, a case study shows the chances, but also the perils of such a network-economy, and this leads to a discussion of its structural limits and possible alternatives.

Eastern Intelligence with Western Component: Development of Radio Reconnaissance Instruments in Socialist Hungary
Eastern Intelligence with Western Components. Development of Radio Reconnaissance Instruments in Socialist Hungary.
This article presents the history of a Hungarian defence industry enterprise, which also became – to a limited extent – competitive in the international arena. The export of arms and military electronics to the Third World was a possible source of foreign exchange for the Hungarian industry. At the turn of the 70s and 80s, several valuable export contracts were signed with Arab countries, including Libya. In the middle of the 80s, as a result of outstanding R&D work, 90 per cent of the Mechanical Laboratory Enterprise’s sales were comprised of indigenously developed equipment. The export of military equipment outside the Soviet bloc also had a crucial effect on the development of enterprise management and business culture.

Direct Line Insurance and the Royal Bank of Scotland, 1985 to 1995: Technology, strategy and diversification
Direct Line Insurance was born out of the diversification strategies of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). Within ten years of its foundation it had become the first retail finance institution to establish a clear competitive advantage based on applications of information technology. Direct Line is best understood as a series of technological and competitive innovations that call into question the extent to which banks' competencies must change to master alternative delivery channels to the «brick and mortar» retail branch. The success of Direct Line also highlights issues in the incursion of banks into bankassurance and the development of a business model based on fee-income (as opposed to the traditional interest-income).
