However not all firms are able to create and
manage their collaborations to maximum advantage. Both experience and the ability
to absorb new technologies and ideas are critical skills a firm requires when exploiting
its relationships
The power of open innovation is highlighted by the success of the Linux computer
operating system developed by Linus Torvalds and the Open Source movement.
However, there are also dangers associated with of open innovation – in particular,
knowledge spillover. (Knowledge spillover occurs when R&D undertaken by one firm
benefits another without any benefit to the first firm).

Problems:
1. In scientific visualization, use is made of multiprocessor computers.
1.1. A major issue with multiprocessor computers is the amount of speedup that can be achieved compared to a uniprocessor computer. There are two laws covering speedup: Amdahl and Gustafson.
1.1.1. Do either of these have a formal proof? If so, present the formal proof and explain what it means (i.e., do not just use formalism, also use ordinary English sentences).
1.1.2. Do either of these have a basis in data? If so, explain the data and explain how the data is used to justify the law.
1.1.3. Which of these laws are more likely to be applicable to most problems in scienti

Description: Reflect on the articles from Edge (2012) and Wagner and Ice (2012) and your personal and professional experiences in relation to the points conveyed in the resources. Discuss how instructional design principles and theory influence the ability to make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in support of learning and, especially, leadership. Use additional resources in addition to those provided to support your evaluation. Providing specific examples or a scenario to illustrate your understanding of the question and incorporating opposing views to demonstrate critical thought is encouraged.

Computer technology and the networked organization
Study Books Used in Class:
The case for this module revolves around the issue of how an organization’s workspace both shapes and is shaped by the information technology choices that the organization makes. To focus your thoughts on this question, please read the following article:
Mary Colette Wallace (2000) Complexity of New Office Designs: Thinking Through Your Future Workplace. Searcher 8(10) http://www.infotoday.com/searcher/nov00/wallace.htm
An interesting case of the interaction of information technology and structure is provided by Oticon Corp., a Danish-owned company specializing in hearing aids and other related devices, that has been one of the “poster children” for information technology-driven change. They have been written up in many places. One reasonably complete and largely non-technical report on this effort is:

Also, you can look at this article that talks about the more recent changes in organizations due to use of technology.
Griscom, J. (2009). How Telecommunications Is Changing Work for Nonprofits. Retrieved, 2010, from the World Wide Web: http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/networks/page12202.cfm
Once you have read both articles and had a chance to examine some of the background materials and/or any other information bearing on this question that you can find, please prepare a 3-5 page paper addressing the question:
“Is Oticon a good model for effectively integrating information technology into the office?. What is the role of IT in organizations? Do you know of any other organization that has been transformed by IT? How? Would you enjoy working in such environment?”
In your paper, you want to consider the points raised in Ms. Wallace’s article about office design and the degree to which IT can or should drive decisions about the structure and functioning of workplaces. You’ll also want to consider some of the points discussed in the background readings regarding technology choices. At some point in your paper, you should also consider the question of whether you yourself would enjoy working in a company like the restructured Oticon. Be sure to justify your answer with appropriate references to the readings or other sources you locate.
