Simulation of the New Product Development Process for Performance Improvement

Bhuiyan, Nadia; Gerwin, Donald; Thomson, Vince - In: Management Science 50 (2004) 12, pp. 1690-1703

This paper explores the linkages between key features of the new product development (NPD) process and NPD performance … and suggests ways of designing the process to improve performance. Using a stochastic computer model, we examine, under … varying uncertainty conditions, how the key features of overlapping and functional interaction affect the performance measures …

Information System Success: Individual and Organizational Determinants

Sabherwal, Rajiv; Jeyaraj, Anand; Chowa, Charles - In: Management Science 52 (2006) 12, pp. 1849-1864

Despite considerable empirical research, results on the relationships among constructs related to information system (IS) success, as well as the determinants of IS success, are often inconsistent. A comprehensive understanding of IS success thus remains elusive. In an attempt to address this...

A Predictive Model of Sequential Iteration in Engineering Design

Smith, Robert P.; Eppinger, Steven D. - In: Management Science 43 (1997) 8, pp. 1104-1120

This paper presents a model describing sequential iteration, one of the fundamental solution processes experienced in complex engineering design projects. The model is based upon the design structure matrix representation and assumes that each individual design activity is of deterministic...

Patterns of Communication Among Marketing, Engineering and Manufacturing---A Comparison Between Two New Product Teams

Griffin, Abbie; Hauser, John R. - In: Management Science 38 (1992) 3, pp. 360-373

Models and scientific evidence suggest that firms are more successful at new-product development if there is greater communication among marketing, engineering, and manufacturing. This paper examines communication patterns for two matched product-development teams where the key difference...

Expert Support Systems for New Product Development Decision Making: A Modeling Framework and Applications

Liberatore, Matthew J.; Stylianou, Anthony C. - In: Management Science 41 (1995) 8, pp. 1296-1316

A modeling framework that merges knowledge-based expert systems and decision support systems with management science methods for project evaluation is presented. In particular, the strategic decision to commit to full-scale development of a new product is considered. At the core of the framework...

Complementarity Among Vertical Integration Decisions: Evidence from Automobile Product Development

Novak, Sharon; Stern, Scott - In: Management Science 55 (2009) 2, pp. 311-332

This paper examines complementarity among vertical integration decisions in automobile product development. Though most research assumes that contracting choices are independent of each other, contracting complementarity arises when the returns to a single vertical integration decision are...

Valuing R& D Projects in a Portfolio: Evidence from the Pharmaceutical Industry

Girotra, Karan; Terwiesch, Christian; Ulrich, Karl T. - In: Management Science 53 (2007) 9, pp. 1452-1466

Understanding the value of a product development project is central to a firm's choice of project portfolio. The value of a project to a firm depends not only on its properties but also on the other projects being developed by the firm. This is due to interactions with the other projects that...

A Model-Based Framework to Overlap Product Development Activities

Krishnan, Viswanathan; Eppinger, Steven D.; Whitney, … - In: Management Science 43 (1997) 4, pp. 437-451

Intense competition in many industries forces manufacturing firms to develop new, higher quality products at an increasingly rapid pace. Overlapping product development activities is an important component of concurrent product development that can help firms develop products faster. However,...
