At present, the existing literature shows that the factors which influence the effectiveness of virtual teams for new product development are still ambiguous. To address this problem, a research design was developed, which includes detailed literature review, preliminary model and field survey....

A Manhattan search algorithm to minimize artificial neural network error function is outlined in this paper. From an existing position in Cartesian coordinate, a search vector moves in orthogonal directions to locate minimum function value. The search algorithm computes optimized step length for...
