Most knowledge hiding studies focus on its dark side. In contrast, we theorize the potential positive effect of rationalized in context entrepreneurial firms’ new product development (NPD) speed. We extended and integrated theoretical perspectives trust theorizing that accelerates NPD—a component considered critical to firm survival growth. developed analyzed two datasets founder CEOs CTOs 279 ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Virtual product development Virtual customer integration Co-creation Consumer motives Theory of planned behavior Virtual customer integration (VCI) involves customers throughout all stages of the new product development process. Firms across industries have started to experiment with virtual user integration and expect to utilize their knowledge, creativity, and ...

An important question for IS researchers and practitioners is how IT can improve new product development (NPD) in the context of inter organizational development. More precisely, this paper aims at understanding how Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technology contributes to NPD knowledge integration in this environment. It is based on a longitudinal case study of a French industrial Group wit...

The current paper investigates whether the shift to more integration, that is use of concurrent engineering process and cross-functional teams organisation, in new product development (NPD) projects is suitable for all types of projects regardless of their level of “project complexity”. The current paper addresses this research question in two steps. First, a formal framework of “project comple...

An important question for IS researchers and practitioners is how IT can improve new product development (NPD) in an international co-development context. More precisely, this paper aims at understanding how Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technology contributes to NPD knowledge integration and to process reliability in this environment. It is based on a longitudinal case study of a French i...

Functional integration in Operations Management (OM) is long recognized as a key driver for new product development and manufacturing performance. Design-manufacturing integration (DMI) aspects related to people, technology, and tools occupy the centre stage in New Product Development (NPD) debate, extending beyond the factory walls to the Supply Chain (SC). More recently, the design of environ...

Buying and supplying organizations rely on each other for developing better products in an efficient manner, which explains the popularity of involving suppliers in new product development (NPD). However, such involvement is not always successful, partially due to the challenges of structuring a buyer–supplier team to manage joint dependence and dependence asymmetry. This study adopts an organi...

A firm’s development of innovation in products and services are critical for sustaining a competitive advantage but new product development failure rate in various industries still remains relatively high. New processes emerge during product development due to the uncertainty of the requirements and the diversity of the product development team. Unstructured processes emerge through the social ...

A major challenge for managers in turbulent environments is to make sound decisions quickly. Dynamic capabilities have been proposed as a means for addressing turbulent environments by helping managers extend, modify, and reconfigure existing operational capabilities into new ones that better match the environment. However, because dynamic capabilities have been viewed as an elusive black box, ...

For those traditional industries or the hi-tech industries, precise as well as reliable dies and molds are indispensable for mass production. The development of dies and molds in a timely and cost-effective way impacts on the product quality and schedule very much. As industrial technology is progressing, demands on products are getting complicated and product lifetime is shortening. There is, ...
