Key barriers for global software product development organizations
2009
Increasingly, software products development companies are attempting to make transition from traditional centralized local development to global development. This transition is taking place due to intense competition, availability of high quality and low cost software professionals in various countries, and advent of communication and information technologies to link the disperse groups. Due to a significant lack of research on the global software product (GSP) development organization, companies are commonly attempting to develop standardized software products by using an adhoc global project organization. In making transition from local development of software product to global developmen…
INNOVATION MANAGEMENT CONTROL: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF ITS EMERGENCE AND EVOLUTION AS A RESEARCH FIELD
2018
Innovation Management Control (IMC) supports innovation management with valuable information, thus improving innovation effectiveness and efficiency. Literature has shown that different elements of a management control system must be interdependent and that its design must form a coherent system of controls that spans the entire process under control. Accordingly, IMC covers the entire innovation process. However, IMC literature is spread over numerous journals from different disciplines, which may prevent the development of holistic IMC systems. We present a bibliometric analysis that provides insights into the development of IMC as a research field and examines the severity of knowledge …
In vitro models for the prediction of in vivo performance of oral dosage forms: Recent progress from partnership through the IMI OrBiTo collaboration
2019
The availability of in vitro tools that are constructed on the basis of a detailed knowledge of key aspects of gastrointestinal (GI) physiology and their impact on formulation performance and subsequent drug release behaviour is fundamental to the success and efficiency of oral drug product development. Over the last six years, the development and optimization of improved, biorelevant in vitro tools has been a cornerstone of the IMI OrBiTo (Oral Biopharmaceutics Tools) project. By bringing together key industry and academic partners, and by linking tool development and optimization to human studies to understand behaviour at the formulation/GI tract interface, the collaboration has enabled …
Adaptation of Risk Sharing Partnerships (RSP) to New Industries
2020
The aerospace industry has since the 1990s used a partnership model called Risk Sharing Partnerships (RSP) to handle certain challenges faced in the development of new aircrafts. The RSP model allows the client to include key suppliers in the development of a new product, and hence sharing the burden of investment, risk mitigation, as well as the future sales income. This makes it easier to acquire funding for the development of new products and technologies, in addition to accelerating the development process by including key competencies earlier (Buzacott and Peng in Eur J Oper Res 218:656–666, 2012). RSP have raised interest in other industries, which calls for increased knowledge of con…
Launch lessons from a growing global supplier of industrial equipment
2008
Although the launch phase in New Product Development (NPD) has been recognised as a vital stage affecting the success of new products, it is often poorly managed for various reasons. The purpose of this paper is to understand launch management in its context better by looking at the drivers and bottlenecks of launches inside a young and growing global industrial equipment supplier with the use of a case study method. The findings of the study show that the enforcement of internal marketing, market knowledge use, marketing communications and the organisation of marketing activities and their links to other company functions are the main drivers of a successful launch. The paper presents a la…
INTRODUCING EXISTING FINANCIAL SERVICES OVER NEW ELECTRONIC CHANNELS
2002
Innumerable cases and much research have been reported about the launching of new innovative products over existing distribution channels, where a misfire may kill the new product. Much less seems to be known about the introduction of existing products via new channels, regardless of the fact that a backfire here can kill the product both in the new and the old channels and leave an established firm without any business. Over the last two decades, banks have transferred their products from branch offices to new electronic fixed-line and mobile channels. This article will outline some findings about the Finnish banks' experience in managing the introduction of existing products via new chan…
The culture of product development in student organisations
2021
Product development in a multidisciplinary student organisation brings many challenges; varyingexperience, adaptation and involvement of members. This article will discuss how a multidisciplinarystudent project maintains a learning culture for product development and project management.The identified factors for a learning culture; 1) define product specifications, 2) involvealumnis, 3) facilitate an open minded culture for failure and learning and 4) collect experience andadapt an agile framework suitable for the project. These are factors that should be an implementedpart to increase the chances of maintaining a learning culture.Align Racing UiA, the case of this study, is a student organ…
Assessment of process stability and capability in a manufacturing organization: a case study
2021
Quality is considered asthe principal factor that determines the long-termsuccess or failure of any organization. Organizations perform quality control by monitoring process output using Statistical Quality Control, performed as part of the production process (Statistical Process Control, SPC) or as a final quality control check (Acceptance Sampling).SPC is a major quality management statistical tool and its instruments (control charts and capability analysis) are applied to virtually any type of organization (manufacturing, services or transactions - for example, those involving data, communications, software, or movement of materials). The aim of this paper is to present a case study, rea…
Study on New Product Development, by Networking
2015
The paper presents a situation of working in network in order to design or improve a new product. To implement theoretical models and to validate a working algorithm into a virtual research, there was proposed a specific theme from drilling and chamfering tool. The facilities offered by the research centers – database, software - led to rapid selection and configuration solutions, demonstrating achieving research productivity growth and a substantial reduction of times redesign.
Groupware Support for Requirements Management in New Product Development
2005
Large high-technology companies operate in fiercely competitive international markets. To succeed, they need to shorten the cycle time of new product development (NPD) while improving product quality and maintaining or reducing the total resources required. Their abilities to meet these business goals depend on how extensively and effectively they collect, analyze, and utilize requirements in their product development. Creating and sharing such knowledge is complicated partly because the NPD activities of large companies are geographically distributed. Groupware technologies allow knowledge to be created and shared more effectively. Thus, they hold considerable potential as means of meeting…
