1. 1. The Collaborative Challenge of Product Development : Exploring Sustainable Work Systems Through Critical Incidents in R&D Alliances

   Författare :Lars Uppvall; Matti Kaulio; Pär Åhlström; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; R D Alliances; product development; sustainable work systems; critical incident technique; operational work; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to empirically study challenges and opportunities in the operational work in contract-based R&D alliances in order to increase the understanding of this type of work system and explore how these work systems could be sustainable. Based on the concept of sustainable work systems, this thesis addresses issues of how work in R&D alliance should support both the competitiveness of the firm as well as regeneration of human resources.

3. 2. Targeting target costing : cost management and inter-organizational product development of multi-technology products

   Författare :Martin Carlsson-Wall; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Improving product development is a complex task for many companies. One challenge is to avoid over-engineering and only include the functionality that customers are willing to pay for. Another challenge is to reduce costs in close co-operation with suppliers. LÄS MER

4. 3. Early Involvement of Industrial Designers in Product Development: Exploring Motives and Challenges

   Författare :Lisa Carlgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Customer understanding; Capability; Front end; Collaboration; Product development; Facilitation; Industrial design;

   Sammanfattning : The ability to develop and market products that customers value determines a firm’s competitiveness, and product development that aims at competitive advantage must addressdevelopment efficiency in a conscious way. From a strategic point of view, improvements in the early phases of product development, before a development project is launched, areemphasized, and there is a need to study the best way to organize front end teams, and what personal qualities are likely to facilitate front end performance.

5. 4. Trust in a Product Development Context : Drivers, Dynamics and Consequences

   Författare :Anna Brattström; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : To trust is to accept vulnerability. We need trust when we are dependent on others to achieve what we want, but cannot predict with certainty how they will act. Product development represents such a situation. This activity means to deal with profound uncertainty; creating something that has not existed before. LÄS MER

7. 5. Loop : Leadership and Organization of Integration in Product Development

   Författare :Mike Danilovic; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Many companies have introduced concurrent engineering over the years in product development to handle the complexity of the technology chosen, relations and dependencies through coordination of people and the integration of tasks in problem solving.The aim of this research is to investigate the collaboration of engineers and management, and how tasks are composed in order to enable high levels of integration in cross-functional settings in product development.
