Phases amont de l'innovation : proposition d'une démarche d'analyse de besoin et d'évaluation de l'acceptabilité d'un produit / Front-End Phases of Innovation : proposition of need analysis method and acceptability assessment of product

Ben Rejeb, Helmi 02 December 2008 (has links)
Aujourd’hui les entreprises doivent pouvoir offrir de nouveaux produits en continu prenant en considération les nouvelles technologies disponibles afin de satisfaire des clients de plus en plus exigeants et diversifiés. Il est donc primordial pour une entreprise de savoir quels sont les besoins des acteurs intéressés par son produit. L’objectif de ce travail de doctorat est de proposer une nouvelle méthode pour analyser le besoin pour aider les entreprises à mieux définir leurs nouveaux produits. La démarche proposée se décline en quatre phases : description de l’environnement et du fonctionnement des acteurs par la technique du RARe (Ressources, Activités, Résultats), détermination des besoins par la réalisation de quatre types d’opérations sur les ressources de l’acteur puis évaluation et classification des besoins selon le modèle de Kano et enfin comparaison de plusieurs concepts de produits. Pour y arriver, un travail de bibliographie sur la notion de besoin a été réalisé. Cette recherche bibliographique nous a permis également de définir le cahier des charges d’une nouvelle méthode d’analyse de besoin. Ceci a justifié le choix de la méthode RARe, basée sur l’observation des activités de l’acteur, pour comprendre et identifier les besoins. Pour les classer, nous avons utilisé le modèle de Kano, qui distingue les différents besoins existants : basiques, de performance, attractifs et neutres. Nous avons mis au point un calcul d’indicateurs à l’aide d’une formulation matricielle permettant de classifier les besoins et de comparer des concepts de produits. Cette méthode constitue donc un outil d’aide à la décision au début du processus de conception / Nowadays, companies must offer new products continuously and take into consideration new available technologies in order to satisfy more and more exigent and diversified customers. Therefore, it is essential for a company to know what are the needs of the stakeholders interested in its product. The objective of this PhD work is to propose a new method to analyze the need in order to improve the new product definition process in a firm. This tool is a part of a methodology for innovative project management and it is useful before the elaboration of the specification of the new product. The proposed method has four phases: description of the stakeholders’ environment by the RARe technique (Resources-Activities- Results), determination of needs by the realization of four types of operations on the stakeholder’s resources then evaluation and classification of needs according to the Kano model and finally comparison of several products concepts. To achieve this method, a bibliographical work on the notion of need was realized. This bibliographical research also allowed us to define the specifications of a new method for need analysis. Hence, the choice of the RARe method was justified because it is based on the observation of the stakeholders’ activities. To classify their needs, we used the model of Kano, which distinguishes various existing needs: basic, one dimensional, attractive and neutral. We worked out a calculation of indicators by means of a matrix formulation allowing to classify needs and to compare concepts of products. This method thus constitutes a decision-making tool at the beginning of the conception process

Accelerating Global Product Innovation through Cross-cultural Collaboration : Organizational Mechanisms that Influence Knowledge-sharing within the MNC

Jensen, Karina 04 June 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Globalization, time to market, and customer responsiveness present continuous challenges for achieving market innovation across cultures. A cross-cultural and networked business environment has created increased demand for knowledge-sharing within the multinational corporation (MNC). The inability of geographically distributed team members to effectively share and communicate ideas and solutions can result in a lack of product innovation, delayed product introductions, and reduced sales and market opportunities. This requires managers to leverage cross-cultural team knowledge in order to improve the design and delivery of innovative customer solutions worldwide. This dissertation thus intends to examine and identify organizational mechanisms that facilitate cross-cultural collaboration and knowledge-sharing for geographically distributed teams responsible for the front end of innovation.The resource-based and knowledge-based views of the firm inform this dissertation where integrated cognitive and social practices serve an important role for innovation. Through qualitative research, I will examine organizational mechanisms that influence interactions between the project leader and the geographically distributed team during global product launches, from product concept to market introduction. Since there is a lack of empirical research conducted with organizations on cross-cultural collaboration and global innovation, there is a significant opportunity to advance research within innovation management while assisting organizations in the development of knowledge-sharing capabilities that serve as competitive advantage in conceiving and introducing new products to international markets.The purpose of this dissertation research is to investigate and demonstrate how MNCs can facilitate the cross-cultural collaboration process in order to effectively conceive and execute innovation strategies for new products. The research intends to develop a framework and model for cross-cultural team collaboration in exploring and responding to the following research question: How can MNCs optimize cross-cultural team collaboration in order to strengthen the planning and execution of global innovation strategies? This research responds to organizational needs for sharing knowledge amongst cross-cultural teams in order to accelerate responsiveness to international market opportunities.

Accelerating Global Product Innovation through Cross-cultural Collaboration : Organizational Mechanisms that Influence Knowledge-sharing within the MNC / L’innovation globale et la collaboration interculturelle : les mécanismes organisationnels qui déterminent le partage du savoir dans les entreprises multinationales

Jensen, Karina 04 June 2012 (has links)
La mondialisation, l’introduction d’un produit sur le marché, l’adaptation au consommateur représentent des défis permanents pour réussir l’innovation sur le marché à travers les cultures. Un environnement commercial interculturel et interconnecté a créé une demande croissante pour le partage des connaissances dans les entreprises multinationales (EMN). L’incapacité des membres d’une équipe dispersés géographiquement à partager et communiquer efficacement les idées et solutions peut entraîner un manque d’innovation des produits, un retard dans leur introduction, et réduire les ventes et opportunités de marchés. Cela nécessite de la part des dirigeants d’optimiser les connaissances interculturelles de l’équipe afin d’améliorer le design et la livraison de solutions innovantes pour les clients à l’échelle mondiale. Par conséquent cette thèse cherche à examiner et identifier les mécanismes organisationnels qui favorisent la collaboration interculturelle et le partage de connaissances au sein d’équipes dispersées géographiquement, dans l’élaboration d’un processus d’innovation (du front end of innovation). Cette thèse se base sur l’approche par les ressources et par les connaissances de la firme, où les pratiques cognitives et sociales intégrées jouent un rôle important pour l’innovation. A travers une recherche qualitative j’examinerai les mécanismes organisationnels qui influencent les interactions entre le responsable de projet et l’équipe interculturelle durant les lancements globaux de produit, de la conception du produit jusqu’à sa mise sur le marché. Dans la mesure où il y a peu de recherche empirique sur la collaboration interculturelle et l’innovation globale, c’est une opportunité considérable de contribuer à la recherche en management de l’innovation, et d’aider des organisations à développer leurs capacités de partage de connaissances, véritable avantage concurrentiel dans la conception et l’introduction de nouveaux produits sur les marchés internationaux. L’objectif de cette thèse et d’étudier et démontrer comment les EMN peuvent faciliter le processus de collaboration interculturelle afin de concevoir et de mettre en oeuvre efficacement des stratégies d’innovation pour de nouveaux produits. Cette recherche vise à développer un cadre et un modèle théorique pour la collaboration des équipes interculturelles en répondant à la question suivante : Comment les EMN optimisent la collaboration des équipes interculturelles afin d’améliorer le planning et la mise en oeuvre de stratégie globale d’innovation ? Ceci répond aux besoins des organisations de partager les connaissances du marché local entre les équipes interculturelles afin d’accélérer la réactivité aux opportunités du marché à l’international. / Globalization, time to market, and customer responsiveness present continuous challenges for achieving market innovation across cultures.
