Role of design service firms in product innovationVenkatraman, Rajagopal 04 January 2006 (has links)
This thesis examines how the services of design firms, which belong to the category of service sector called Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS), contribute to the innovation in the product firms. In this study, I have examined the role played by the design firm IDEO, in the product innovation of a start-up technology firm, a matured technology firm and a matured consumer product firm. The services provided by IDEO satisfy different needs of the product firms in their product innovation. The services of the design firm is useful in showcasing the technology to attract more funding for the startup technology firms and in licensing the new technology to other established firms. For established firms with a strong focus in technology research, the services of the design firms, which have the expertise in the user knowledge, is useful in balancing exploration and exploitation of their technical knowledge. For a firm whose origin is in contract manufacturing, the services of the design firms is useful in its movement upstream along the value chain in establishing its own brand identity in the end. In this study, I have also observed that the design firms carry out research experiments to explore knowledge in the user domain and to understand new technology. With the increase in the knowledge of the design firms, product firms increase their collaboration with the design firms for product innovation.

Manufacturing flexibility in new product development : perceptions and implications of new product performanceLarso, Dwi 15 October 2003 (has links)
New product development has been considered a key success factor for
today's businesses. Long term survival of many manufacturing organizations
depends on how successful organizations are introducing new products to compete
in existing markets or in creating new markets. Despite the importance of new
product development, many manufacturing organizations face a limited
understanding of the relationship between manufacturing capabilities and new
product success. This study examined the relationship between manufacturing
flexibility and new product performance.
Eight dimensions of manufacturing flexibility and three measures of new
product performance were identified and the relationships among these variables
were examined. Impact of new product type, value creation mode, and
manufacturing system on the relationships was also assessed. A survey of the U.S.
electronic manufacturing industry was conducted. Data obtained was statistically
analyzed to provide valid and reliable measures for research variables and to test
the hypothesized relationships.
This study supports the multidimensionality of flexibility and the existence
of a hierarchy among flexibility dimensions. A suggested hierarchy of
manufacturing flexibility is offered. Manufacturing flexibility was found to be
more positively correlated with market success than with quality, cost or delivery.
The difference between quality and cost and delivery was found to be insignificant.
For more radical products, manufacturing flexibility was found to be more
positively correlated with product performance. Another finding suggested that
manufacturing flexibility is more positively correlated with product performance in
a product focused environment than in a process focused or market focused
environment. Manufacturing flexibility was found to be more positively correlated
with product performance in a market focused than in a process focused
environment. Another result suggested that the level of positive correlation
between manufacturing flexibility and new product performance is higher in a Line
Flow manufacturing system and in a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) than in
any other manufacturing system. / Graduation date: 2004
