Task Partitioning: An Innovation Process Variable
Innovation projects are "partitioned" into smaller tasks. Precisely where the boundaries between such tasks are placed can affect project outcome and the efficiency of task performance due to associated changes in the problem-solving interdependence among tasks. I propose that problem-solving interdependence among tasks can be predicted in many projects, and can then be managed by strategies in...
متن کاملModes of experimentation: an innovation process—and competitive—variable
The outputs of R&D, such as new research findings and new products and services, are generated with the aid of specialized problem-solving processes. These processes are somewhat arcane and have been largely ignored in studies of technical change. However, their improvement can significantly affect the kinds of research problems that can be addressed, the efficiency and speed with which R&D can...
متن کاملPartitioning the Process of Interaction: An Implementation
We present the implementation of a. window system constructed on the model of an abstraction mechanism identifying the layers of interaction between the user and application programs in a workstation environment. The first goal of the abstraction mechanism (explained in a companion paper) is reducing the task of the interface programmer and providing a uniform and customizable interface to a va...

متن کاملProcess Innovation: Redesigning an Enterprise Backbone System
This case study covers the story of a process reengineering effort at Belgacom Mobile, the largest Belgian mobile telecommunications operator. It describes how a smart combination of theoretical concepts can lead to process innovation, and product innovation. The process innovation effort consisted of a large automation pillar and the rebuilding of the enterprise backbone system SPOMS. Architec...
