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 ...

Dynamic Product Portfolio Management with Life Cycle Considerations

Ralf Seifert, Jean-Sébastien Tancrez, Isik Bicer

We consider a portfolio of products in which each product probabilistically transitions through various life cycle stages. The evolution through these life cycle stages is impacted by both marketing support and product launch decisions, which are bound by ...

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 ...

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

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Paul Xirouchakis, 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 ...
