The objective of Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) is to provide the right tools to create and manage all life-cycle information in a pragmatic, concise, consistent and traceable way across the numerous perspectives and architectural levels. Its practical use, however, is currently impeded by a universal lack of experience and integration with development processes. Interested engineers therefore...
Expanding on the notion that absorptive capacity is a multi-dimensional construct, we elaborate on a pivotal component of absorptive capacity, assimilating external knowledge (AEK), by examining the extent to which certain key internal and external factors are related to AEK and whether the type of knowledge (tacit knowledge versus explicit knowledge) moderates these relationships. Using survey questionnaire...
Many companies have introduced Lean practices in product development and innovation processes to gain competitive advantage. However, the application of Lean outside the factory floor is not straightforward, where principles and practices may be translated and contextualized when introduced in functional areas that differ significantly from manufacturing. Especially in such multifaceted contexts as...
With the advent of globalization and the knowledge-based economy, industrial SMEs must constantly innovate to remain competitive. Now, an important research issue in this regard concerns the role played by IT capabilities in enabling innovation processes such as new product development, and in determining the product innovation performance of these organizations. Using a configurational approach grounded...
The present article addresses how different types of B2B customer involvement motives and B2C customer involvement motives affect different dimensions of new product development (NPD) operational performance in the B2B context. This study also explores the moderating effects of high vs. low product technology on the relationships between different types of customer involvement motives and different...
Knowledge integration mechanisms have increasingly been considered a key predictor of product innovation, yet some central issues related to them remain ambiguous. This study draws upon the perspectives from familiarity trap to argue a curvilinear relationship between knowledge integration mechanisms and product innovativeness. A sample of 140 product development projects from manufacturing firms...
This study reviews the effects of strategy orientation and synergy on new product performance using a meta-analytic approach. Based on empirical studies published before 2011, this study reveals interesting findings. First, the bivariate correlations show that market orientation and technological synergy are identified as the dominant drivers of new product performance. Second, moderator regression...
Many important sources of production innovation came from customers and suppliers. Marketing planning in SMEs is constrained by limited time and money, limited expertise, this paper introduced the context of innovation and product innovation, discussed the advantage of small and middle enterprise(SME) to develop their product innovation, researched the relation between market orientation and product...
Since software product lines (SPLs) increasingly have to satisfy additional requirements, their designs might degenerate over time. The degeneration is caused by various reasons. For instance, the features suddenly start to be realized and they evolved in inconsistent ways across multiple products. In an extreme case, the SPL code is fully or partially replicated and individually changed across several...
Context: Software product lines (SPL) are used in industry to achieve more efficient software development. To test a SPL is complex and costly and often becomes a bottleneck in the product line organization. Objective: This research aims to develop and evaluate strategies for improving system test selection in a SPL. Method: Initially industrial practices and research in both SPL testing and traditional...
