Die Diskussion „Market Pull“ versus „Technology Push“ hat in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Innovationsforschung bereits eine gewisse Tradition. Die hierzu durchgeführten empirischen Untersuchungen sind insbesondere der Frage nachgegangen, welche der beiden Vorgehensweisen welchen Einfluss auf den späteren Innovationserfolg hat. Wir wollen mit unserem Beitrag diesen Aspekt der Diskussion nicht er...

‎In this paper allocating a fixed resource for producing ‎finite projects in order to obtaining a desired level of‎ ‎efficiency will be discussed‎. ‎Note that it is assumed that a ‎vector of limited sources is at hand‎. ‎This vector of resources can‎ ‎be contained human resource‎, ‎budget‎, ‎equipment‎, ‎and facilities‎. ‎In ‎any firm there exist different suggestions from subunits for ‎running...

Universities teach project management to information technology (IT) students. The project management principles that students previously have learned often are put into practice in a project course that is intended to give final-year students the experience of applying their knowledge to real or simulated projects. This article reports on research that investigated the use and usefulness of pr...

This paper considers bi-lateral technology transfer projects undertaken by IPSYS Software plc., a small UK software technology company specialising in the development of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) toolsets. IPSYS had unique technology but limited expertise and market presence in the application of particular software development methods, and limited development capital. Partners...

Based on an exploratory, on-going field study we suggest in this paper a conceptual, two dimensional framework for the classification of projects and systems, and show how this framework can be used to distinguish among management styles and practices for various types of engineering projects. The paper provides empirical evidence of the differences found among various kinds of projects and sug...

This paper presents case study findings on the technology planning process for individual new product developmem (NPD) projects. These find­ ings were generated as part of a larger research project cUn'ently underway investigating effective managemem of risky product and process tech­ nologies in new product development projects. This topic is important since finns I in certain competitive envi...

Information technology (IT) project management is a crucial issue for organizations today. A 1995 study in the USA found that 31 per cent of software projects will be canceled before completion, and more than half the projects will cost an average of 189 per cent of the original estimates. This article examines the results of a survey questionnaire that was sent to Canada's 1,450 leading public...
