Diving into the dynamics of product evolution : analyzing technological discontinuities during the era of incremental change and cognitive convergence on a dominant design

Olivier Waeber

Three distinct stages describe the technological evolution of a product over time: ferment, convergence on a dominant design and an era of incremental change. Until recently, the era of incremental change has been characterized as stable and one that invol ...

Knowledge-based decision support for improving the adaptive product development process

Predrag Spasojevic

The product development process (PDP) is a complex process encompassing many very diverse activities, and involving a fairly big number of actors, spread across different professions, teams and companies. In todayâ s product development, more often than n ...

On the optimal frequency of multiple generation product introductions

Ralf Seifert, Shuangqing Liao

This paper considers a firm that introduces multiple generations of a product to the market at regular intervals. We assume that the firm has only a single production generation in the market at any time. To maximize the total profit within a given plannin ...

Design of a semantic knowledge base to support the product development process

Paul Xirouchakis, Predrag Spasojevic

New product development today is a knowledge-heavy process, but very often this knowledge is not adequately handled, it’s not made readily available to the actors, or is lost within or between similar projects. Furthermore, different legacy tools and data ...

Industrial challenges in managing product development knowledge

Myrna Fatima Flores Pineda

To systematically create and share product development knowledge creates challenges for engineering companies. This paper presents an extensive study regarding the process of identifying such challenges in managing product development knowledge from the pe ...

A conceptual framework of the impact of NPD project team and leader empowerment on communication and performance: An alliance case context

Christopher Tucci

New product development (NPD) in an alliance context crosses organizational boundaries and therefore makes team and leader empowerment and communication an ever more important topic for the successful accomplishment of NPD goals. We developed a conceptual ...

Creative-Learning Innovation Cycle - CLIC : Work Motivation and Organizational Creativity

Vincent Nassar

WHY do certain leaders’ management of organizational resources encourage creative people engaged in New Product Development (NPD) to achieve high performance, on time, while other leaders’ practices foster frustration and delays? In this research project I ...

A decision support method for product conceptual design considering product lifecycle factors and resource constraints

Paul Xirouchakis, Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jongho Shin

In general, it is difficult to select a satisfactory product concept because the information in the early stage of design process is subjective, qualitative, and even uncertain to design engineers. The correlations among engineering characteristics for a p ...

There is more to market learning than gathering good information: The role of shared team values in radical product definition

Christopher Tucci

User feedback is vital to a radical new product development (NPD) effort. However, shared team values (beliefs and possibly ideology) determine whether a development team will act on user feedback. This paper addresses this important issue by investigating ...

Motion Synergies for Real-Time Postural Control in Virtual Environments

Daniel Raunhardt

Virtual prototyping has become an important part during the product development process. The common way to let a user interact with the virtual prototype is the use of a three dimensional virtual mannequin that is controlled by the user. These human figure ...

Neo-Rawlsian fringes: A new approach to market segmentation and new product development

Christopher Tucci

Prior research into the link between new product development and market segmentation has focused on two main approaches: (1) design, segment, and do limited competitive evaluation; and (2) segment first, design second. This paper proposes a third approach, ...
