User Friendly Framework for Measuring Product and Process Novelty in the Early Stages of Product Development
Get PDFAbstractThis paper examines the innovation process in four Norwegian companies, all supplying the automotive industry with light weight structural components. Twelve representative product projects are categorized, together with people from product development in respective companies, according to product and process novelty. The main contribution from this study is twofold; first, a new framework and index for categorizing innovation across product and process newness is developed, second, putting empirical data into the framework demonstrates that product and process uniqueness does not seem to be dependent on amount of resources

The next wave of industrial improvement is widely considered to be driven by the application of digital technologies. Organizations are seeking to understand how the two approaches can be utilized synergistically. This paper aims to sketch the landscape for current theories and managerial challenges facing Lean and digital transformation based on Lean principles with respect to organizational design, supply chain planning, decision systems and supplier relationships. We raise fundamental questions that should be addressed by future research in the field of digital lean manufacturing and lean digital transformations

No full textThe innovation process takes place not only as a result of research and development but also because of specific combinations of knowledge that firms obtain by accessing both internal and external environments. In this paper, the relationship between networking intensity and the innovation process is investigated in order to analyze the effect of these networks on firm performance. The results show that firms that are engaged more intensively in knowledge networks increase the likelihood of obtaining higher levels of innovation, which can lead to better economic performance. Furthermore, informal mechanisms of interaction have proved to be a fundamental dimension of the innovation process, especially in conjunction with formal networks. These conclusions have strong implications for government innovation policies designed to improve firms? performance and that of the local economyPeer reviewe
