Competence to Manage Innovation in Complex Product Systems - the Case of Stored Program Controlled Switchboards in China
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional concepts of managing product innovation are not suitable for innovation in complex product systems (CPSs). This paper argues that firms developing and integrating the components of CPSs need specific competence for managing such projects. A framework for evaluating a firm’s competence in CPS innovation is developed that covers managing the integration of internal and external key resources and building technological and supportive capabilities. The analytical framework that consists of 18 elements specifying the key resources and capabilities is tested at the firm level in the stored program control switchboard industry in China.
