{"title":"The heuristic analysis of the diffusion","authors":"H. Jaakkola","doi":"10.1109/IEMC.1994.379941","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IEMC.1994.379941","url":null,"abstract":"The principles of the heuristic analysis are presented in the form of the heuristic diffusion model. The model is based on the theoretical issues of mathematical diffusion models. It specifies the life cycle of an innovation, defines typical features of diffusion phases and some features of the diffusion as a phenomenon. The heuristic model is a tool that increases understanding of the complicated process of diffusion. It is a tool to explain and manage the adoption of new technologies. The theoretical background and contents of the heuristic model were presented in earlier publications by the author. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the practice of the heuristic analysis and the use of the model. In the beginning, a short introduction to the heuristic model is given. Practical applications based on the real empirical data are presented. These applications show the benefits of the model as a tool to manage the adoption of complicated technologies. Analysis of the applications and evaluation of the model are presented in the paper.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":200747,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference - IEMC '94","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134129417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time to market problems-the organization is the real cause 市场时间问题——组织才是真正的原因
T. G. Rauscher
{"title":"Time to market problems-the organization is the real cause","authors":"T. G. Rauscher","doi":"10.1109/IEMC.1994.379912","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IEMC.1994.379912","url":null,"abstract":"Although the process for designing a product and delivering it to the market has been the subject of extensive study, its realization in many companies yields results much later than expected. Studies of this time to market problem largely describe symptoms of the problem, and the recommended solutions do not adequately address the root causes of the problem itself. The authors' research leads to the conclusion that the organization encourages late product delivery. Here, the authors review fundamentals of modern organization theory and cite the tenets for addressing the coordination and control problems in product development firms. They then describe several barriers that published studies have indicated as causes of the time to market problem. They examine each of these barriers, illustrate that organizational problems cause them, and describe the organizational changes that would improve the situation. They conclude with recommendations on the role of management to reduce the time to market in product development firms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":200747,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference - IEMC '94","volume":"424 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133807057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The task of leading change in product development is especially difficult. The traditional view of leadership revolves around charismatic leadership. Yet, two other facets of leadership are probably better-suited to initiate change in R&D organizations: instrumental leadership (use of \"instruments\" like meetings, communications, planning mechanisms, etc.); and developmental leadership (focus on developing leadership skills throughout the management ranks). This paper documents an instrumental and developmental change leadership process for a medium sized manufacturer of electronic products faced with rapidly growing software content in its products.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":200747,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference - IEMC '94","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133176078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Horizontal R&D management 横向研发管理

Kaminski","doi":"10.1109/IEMC.1994.379938","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IEMC.1994.379938","url":null,"abstract":"Technology-based corporations are facing a different business environment in the 1990s. This new business climate is being driven by complex, horizontally managed organizations and decision processes; global technology development; shorter product life cycles; increased R&D costs and risks; and limited resources. Global surveys of major technology-based companies have indicated that there is a poor linkage between technology and business strategies. The poor linkage results when decision makers view R&D management as a vertical process under the responsibility of the head of R&D. To achieve cost effective innovation in the 1990s, R&D management must be viewed as one of the strategic core processes of the corporation and be managed as a horizontal process with cross-functional representation. Corporations must re-engineer their R&D management process based on the needs of their internal and external customers. A six step process is presented as the next generation of R&D management. This organizational transition is very difficult because it will redefine roles and responsibilities of key decision makers. Success will be a function of the methodology and organizational factors considered in this re-engineering effort.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":200747,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference - IEMC '94","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124129795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quality management in an engineering firm environment 工程公司环境下的质量管理
Richard Habrecht
{"title":"Quality management in an engineering firm environment","authors":"Richard Habrecht","doi":"10.1109/IEMC.1994.379955","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IEMC.1994.379955","url":null,"abstract":"Engineering firms find themselves in the middle of the quality movement. Clients want quality services and products. More than that, clients of engineering firms want evidence that engineering firms are improving internal quality while reducing fees to the clients. There is a shift from thinking high quality engineering services means high costs, to a demand for higher quality at lower prices. The challenge of quality management in an engineering firm environment has some interesting aspects. Three of the most important aspects of implementing a quality management process are the roadblocks in the environment, the struggles in identifying systems and solutions, and the recognition that improvements have been accomplished. Roadblocks include failure to see a need to make a change, the need to be chargeable, profit divisions between departments, and choosing a philosophy of quality management. Struggles include understanding and documenting systems, gathering data, learning to work as teams, understanding continuing improvement versus one-time fixes, and making decisions based on facts and data instead of reacting based strictly on hunches. Recognizing accomplishments is important to the life of the quality management process. It's important to see and capture improved quality. Successes help to foster more improvements and translate into real savings for both engineering firms and their clients. Quality management in engineering firms is not an option. The challenge to improve quality is an exciting one with many benefits.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":200747,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference - IEMC '94","volume":"49 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123186441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Users of QFD report improved quality in products and in management of processes.

This paper presents implementation considerations concerning the use of QFD by both technical and human resource managers, decision makers, and 'doers' in situations where products or processes are being developed or redesigned, or where improvements are being sought.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":200747,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference - IEMC '94","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122810548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
