Humans are hardwired as problem-solvers. Professional education, in particular, enables us to solve complex problems. Even decades ago, we could safely send a crew to the moon and back. A moon-bound project is a very challenging and complex problem, but it is a tame one. The problem is clearly defined and the challenge becomes how to find the best solution. As the world and issues become more interconnected,...
New Product Development - NDP is a major source of competitive advantage to companies. For decades researchers have studied the phenomena and various approaches have emerged over the years. Firstly, NPD was structured in clearly defined phases or stages to enable a quick and risk-free flow from idea to launch. Later, Concurrent engineering - CE, in which critical development phases are performed simultaneously,...
