The Portland International Conference for Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET) has become a world-leading organization in the field of management of engineering and technology management (MET) since its inception in 1989. PICMET provides a strong platform for academics, industry professionals, and government representatives to exchange new knowledge in the field. To celebrate its 30-year journey, this article examines 20 conferences organized by PICMET covering 6601 accepted papers in order to show the trends in MET research and implementation through topics, authors, journals, and countries. In addition to the analysis of the PICMET data, the article delves into the past ten years (2009–2018) to carry out an in-depth bibliometric analysis of the citations of more than 3000 PICMET papers available at Scopus. The detailed analysis sheds light on how PICMET has developed a rich network of researchers and practitioners through its conferences over time. PICMET contributes to the interdisciplinary nature of the MET field and is also affected by the changes of the field. The article ends with key observations and a few suggestions for further studies.

The five papers in this special section focus on collaboration and innovation dynamics in software ecosystems. Over the past years, there has been an exponential growth in the number of articles mentioning "ecosystem" as their topic, and among them, ecosystems in the context of information and communication technologies have received particular attention. Much of this research is motivated by the intuition that ecosystems facilitate innovation. Yet, despite this burgeoning research activity accompanied by a flourish of reviews, actual empirical investigations of the collaboration and innovation dynamics in an ecosystem in general and in software ecosystems specifically remain few and far between.

This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management (IEEE TEM) from 1985 to 2017. This paper employs a mixed-method examination based on an in-depth interview with the new editor-in-chief regarding the challenges for the future of IEEE TEM, along with a bibliometric analysis of the journal. By using Web of Science Core Collection data, the analysis maps the knowledge produced and disseminated by IEEE TEM, revealing the most cited papers, the most frequently occurring keywords and the interconnection between them, the most prolific authors and their coauthorship network, and the most prolific countries for published articles. This paper also shows the main avenues of research covered by IEEE TEM and their evolution through the analysis of the correlation of keywords. This paper offers an example application of a mixed-method bibliometric analysis, seeking to extend the quantitative findings by including other sources of data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The papers in this special section focus on modeling and simulation in disaster and emergency management. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 has wrought damage globally to a degree that is totally unprecedented in human history.Within three months that the first known death from the illness caused by the so-called novel Coronavirus was reported by state media in China on the 11th of January 2020, close to 1.8 million people worldwide had tested positive, with more than 100,000 deaths reported. By the time the pandemic will have been declared to be under control, millions more are expected to have been infected and tens (possibly hundreds) of thousands more will have perished as a result of the disease. Not only are the numbers of COVID-19 infected people and deaths staggering. Economies throughout the world have suffered tremendously, with many companies forced to shut down, or at the very least significantly scale down, their production of goods and services as a result of the need for social distancing and self-isolation required to prevent the unmitigated transmission of the disease. All this has led to hundreds of millions worldwide losing their employment or other sources of livelihood. Governments of all nations, large and small, developed and underdeveloped, have needed to pump into their economy and onto their struggling citizens whatever financial resources they could manage to generate.

The papers in this special section focus on the concept of "tech mining." Here, this term refers to the application of text mining tools to science and technology information, informed by the understanding of technological innovation processes. Since the 1st Global Tech Mining (GTM) Conference in 2010, the GTM community has established great connections between tech mining and a broad range of research domains, particularly bibliometrics, text mining, and technology management. Endeavours of the community touch on benefits of the big data boom, the artificial intelligence (AI) age, advanced analytical and visualization tools, novel philosophical concepts, and reshaped managerial models.

This paper explores the patterns of knowledge production of science and engineering from catching-up via overtaking to the achievement of leadership in global industries. In particular, it examines the depth and direction of knowledge production with proxy variables of patents and bibliometric data of a latecomer firm. Moreover, it explores the changing patterns of knowledge sourcing in the firm during the transition from catch-up to forging ahead and with specific references to the experience of Samsung Electronics Company. This study shows that the patterns of scientific and engineering activities increased as the firm proceeds to the forging ahead period, the patterns of knowledge sourcing evolved in the direction of increasing importance of the domestic knowledge base, and the collaborative partners for generating knowledge changed as the firm's capabilities were enhanced to approach cutting-edge technologies. This paper illuminates the importance of intraorganizational capabilities and domestic knowledge bases to advance a latecomer firm's knowledge generating capabilities into a stage of forging ahead.

Scholars have suggested that design thinking (DT) should form an integral part of the new product development (NPD) process. However, the contribution of DT to NPD over the past years is yet to be synthesized. In this article, we develop a conceptual framework categorizing how DT contributes to NPD, and present a map to visualize how research in the area of DT in NPD has evolved over the past 20 years. A systematic analysis of 89 journal papers published between 2000 and 2020 helped to generate a conceptual framework, which provides a typology for discussing the growing state of the art of DT in NPD. The study enhances the academic debate by providing a holistic perspective on how DT contributes to the NPD ecosystem and offers directions for future research for the next 20 years.

The papers in this special section focus on innovation in design processes. Design is the human process of applying knowledge to create novel and useful artefacts, such as new products, services, and systems with economic and societal values. In practice and literature, the relevant terms and definitions are often blurred. The design process is often referred to as the "new product development" process, "innovation process", "design innovation" process, etc. Not all design processes lead to inventions or innovations. The design processes that yield innovation are often coupled with the scientific research process and the entrepreneurship process. Herein our focus is not on the innovation arising from the design process, but on the innovations in and of a design process itself that can increase innovation success from the design process.

Knowledge accumulation is considered a crucial factor for generating sustained economic growth. Therefore, both knowledge spillovers and externalities are considered drivers of economic development. Standardization is a vital feature of technological progress. It involves triggering adoptions of innovation by reducing market uncertainty between consumers and producers. Standards cannot be implemented without using technology covered by the claims of patents. This paper investigates knowledge spillover through the inward and outward knowledge flow from technology standards. Studies have investigated the quantitative and qualitative effects of technological standards. However, there still exists a lack of understanding regarding the knowledge spillover and externality that results from technological standardization. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap in the literature by elucidating the codified knowledge spillover that underlies patented technologies at the technical, organizational, and industrial standard levels. This paper explores the characteristic patterns of knowledge spillover associated with technology standards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this paper is to develop an integrated multiobjective and multiperiod mathematical model for sustainable supplier selection and order allocation of an automotive manufacturer. In spite of the vast quantity of research on this area, integrated consideration of risk and inflation in sustainable supplier selection and order allocation problem is less investigated. To fill this gap, this paper aims to develop a multiobjective sustainable supplier selection and order allocation model considering risk and inflation. Particularly, six objective functions of total cost, economic score, environmental score, social score, inflation rate, and risk level along with related constraints are optimized in the model. The developed model is solved using weighted sum approach and augmented ε-constraint method. In addition, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted. The results provide the best sustainable suppliers and the optimum quantity of products to be purchase from each supplier in each period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
