An uncoordinated, ad hoc approach will not suffice in a complex environment. Disciplined attention to some important aspects of managing change is necessary for success. This paper expands the management portion of an overall enterprise change model. Management relationships among a comprehensive integrated change program, urgent change projects, emergency modifications and independent incremental improvements are addressed. The authors propose an orderly approach for managing change programs to ensure that key characteristics of each change project are addressed appropriately.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

The author proposes \"logistic dynamism\", a new approach to innovation analysis using a logistic equation. Any innovation paradigm has its own three trajectories with definite time spans consisting of technology, development, and diffusion in the course. The technology trajectory is the development history of core technologies which starts with Shockley's invention of the transistor and ends by the completion of submicron-lithography expanding for 25 years in the case of electronics. The development trajectory is formed by a series of application inventions and the diffusion trajectory is described by the diffusion of semiconductors to the market, The behaviors of electronics firms and the role of government are discussed upon the map of these trajectories. Thus, the national system of innovation for electronics business was clearly analyzed by the use of a logistic dynamism.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

The key to finding this middle ground is to understand the strengths of the small-company and mold the process around those strengths. This paper takes the reader through the process of creating a development methodology that has proven extremely successful for one small organization. Several standard development paradigms are presented, specifically, the spiral development model, the incremental model, and the rapid prototyping model. Each of these development methodologies is then modified to fit the needs of a small-scale engineering organization. Combined, they serve as a model for a hybrid-methodology for product development in an environment that needs to be highly adaptable, responsive, and creative. The paper concludes with a brief overview of some of the human factors involved in managing small engineering firms. Specifically, the importance of understanding the capabilities of each developer as they relate to improvisational development and the acknowledgement of personal weakness is examined. The understanding of these human factors coupled with a strong development paradigm provides a management model specifically geared towards the small engineering firm.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

On one hand, concurrent engineering increases the diversity and number of information. On the other hand, the design process use a large number of computational tools. Therefore, the product is represented many times, often by geometrical models with different formats, and different detail levels. These numerous product representations obviously raise the product complexity management. This paper presents an approach to model interactions between trade tools by representing relationships among trade information in a constraint hierarchical graph. This permits to manage product coherency by tracing or propagating a modification through all trades.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.

Unfortunately very little empirical research has documented the many variations of e-business solutions as major software vendors release complex IT products into the marketplace. Existing literature only reveals the occasional implementation issue or highlights various success factors. Instead, it seems reasonable to say that companies also expect information about implementation obstacles and how to overcome them. In this paper we use the survey data that we collected from various industries to determine the factors that lead to successful implementation of e-business systems. We also provide a graphic roadmap that would indicate when and where these success factors might appear and how a firm might manage the implementation process.","PeriodicalId":376256,"journal":{"name":"IEMC'01 Proceedings.
