GROUPS OF GERMAN DOMESTIC APPLIANCE MANUFACTURERS ACCORDING TO NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES
PublicationFinding the best way to develop new products has been always a hot topic for practitioners and academics. However, so far only a few of these kinds of studies have concentrated on a single industry. In this paper, we group German domestic appliance manufacturers with regards to their new product development (NPD) practices to discover their attitude to NPD effort. By conducting a survey we found that three different groups of manufacturers...

Global edge alliances in graphs
PublicationIn the paper we introduce and study a new problem of finding a minimum global edge alliance in a graph which is related to the global defensive alliance (Haynes et al., 2013; Hedetniemi, 2004) and the global defensive set (Lewoń et al., 2016). We proved the NP-completeness of the global edge alliance problem for subcubic graphs and we constructed polynomial time algorithms for trees. We found the exact values of the size of the...

The impact of domestic and foreign competition on sectoral growth: a cross-country analysis
PublicationThis paper examines the impact of competition on the total factor productivity (TFP) of 21 manufacturing sectors in eighteen OECD countries over the period of time 1990–2006. We assume that the source of TFP growth can be either domestic or foreign innovation or technology transfer from the technological frontier. Trade openness, R&D, and human capital can have two effects: a direct effect on TFP (e.g., through innovation) and...
