Let G be a finite group. We define the derived covering number and the derived character covering number of G, denoted respectively by dcn(G) and dccn(G), as the smallest positive integer n such that Cⁿ = G′ for all non-central conjugacy classes C of G and Irr((χⁿ)_G′) = Irr(G′) for all nonlinear irreducible characters χ of G, respectively. In this paper, we obtain some results on dcn and dccn for a finite group G, such as the existence of these numbers and upper bounds on them.

Involving customers in the development of new products and services helps firms understand customer needs, increasing the likelihood of meeting those needs and expectations. Although a large body of literature addresses the implications of customer involvement for project performance, the results of previous research are somewhat inconsistent. This paper explores this issue by examining the differing impact of customer involvement on the development of new products and new services. We propose that the role of customer involvement differs for these two types of innovations, with involvement in the early stages more important for products and involvement in the launch stage more important for services. Our results, based on a comprehensive dataset on customer involvement in innovation, are consistent with such a pattern, suggesting that more attention should be paid to the conditional benefits of customer involvement in different types of solution development.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor networks (WSN) are two important wireless technologies that have a wide variety of applications and provide limitless future potentials. RFID facilitates detection and identification of objects that are not easily detectable or distinguishable by using current sensor technologies. However, it does not provide information about the condition of the objects it detects. Sensors, on the other hand, provide information about the condition of the objects as well as the environment. Hence, integration of these technologies will expand their overall functionality and capacity. This chapter first presents a brief introduction on RFID and then investigates recent research works, new patents, academic products and applications that integrate RFID with sensor networks. Four types of integration are discussed: (1) integrating tags with sensors; (2) integrating tags with wireless sensor nodes and wireless devices; (3) integrating readers with wireless sensor nodes and wireless devices; and (4) mix of RFID and wireless sensor networks. New challenges and future works are discussed at the end.
