Full textNär ett företag inkluderar en ny teknik eller innovation i sitt värdeerbjudande kan kunderna uppleva det som en förbättring eller försämring. Detta fenomen undersöktes i denna studie med en fallstudie av ett aktuellt fall i esportsindustrin. Forskning har visat att AI (Artificiell Intelligens) teknik kan användas för att förutsäga vilket lag som kommer att vinna i en match i esports spelet DotA 2. En AI prototyp, Znipe Sense, utvecklades och analyserades under denna studie för att svara på frågan: Hur kan ett prediktivt AI påverka värdeerbjudandet av live esports konsumtion? Znipe Sense inkluderades i Znipe Esports värdeerbjudande under en turnering i februari 2018. Det observerades att Znipe Sense var bättre än mänskliga experter på att förutse det vinnande laget i professionella matcher. Observationerna av Znipe Sense, en intervju med erfarna spelare, intervjuer med affärsfolk och interna företagsdokument användes som empiriskt material. Hur Znipe Sense påverkade värdeerbjudandet analyserades genom faktorerna: ”Performance”, ”Ease-of-use”, ”Reliability”, ”Flexibility” och ”Affectivity”, även känt som PERFA-ramverket. Slutsatsen visar på att ett prediktivt AI kan öka värdeerbjudandet av live esports konsumtion genom Performance och Ease- of-use faktorerna, och att värdeerbjudandet inte skulle påverkas genom Reliability och Flexibility. I analysen av Affectivity-faktorn identifierades emellertid att det finns en risk i relaterat till negativa effekter av spelberoende som kan försämra värdeerbjudandet.

Full textConsumer wants, through his or her consumption, to eliminate any negative effects and maximize the long-term beneficial impact on the society. This type of consume is known as socially responsible consumption. There exist a large body of literature on this concept in Western countries, but relatively few studies focused on countries in Asia in general and Vietnam in particular. This doctoral has two main aims. The first aim was to build a socially responsible consumption scale in the context of Vietnam. The second one was to propose and validate a consumer decision-making model regarding socially responsible consumption in a perspective of values in which cultural orientations, human values, perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived value directly and indirectly influence on consumer behavior. Our thesis highlights a socially responsible consumption structure in five facets: social orientation, ethical orientation, environmental awareness, local consumption and anxiety of economy with three Vietnamese typical behaviors. Modeling structural equations allows to partially validating the proposed model. Indeed, the vertical collectivism indirectly influences the socially responsible consumption via social-oriented values that are themselves directly influence the socially responsible consumption and indirectly influences the latter, via the perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived value. However, the consumer decision process is not the same between the two socially responsible consumer studied facets

Full textTitle: Volvo Trucks' Customer Value Proposition
Authors: Ekaterina Storubleva, Gregor Milosch, Christian Neumann
Tutor: Erik Hunter
Date: May 2009
Keywords:
Volvo Truck Corporation, truck industry, customer value, value drivers, retail strategy, communication, relationship marketing
Purpose:
The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the general composition of Volvo Trucks' customer value proposition in Europe and to examine possible ways of enhancing it using Volvo's retailing strategy as a tool.
Background:
The concept of customer value gains more and more importance in modern companies. Firms have to truly understand what their customers expect in order to provide the right products for them.Truck manufacturing is a very cyclical industry, which is why in times of crisis, when trade volumes go down, they need to excel even more in order to maintain good business relations with their customers. Volvo Trucks, one of the world's leading truck producers, has adopted a special retailing strategy, in which it owns strategically important dealerships, in order to improve customer understanding and consequently customer value. This paper discusses in how far they succeed at this.
Method:
The authors followed a triangular approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative part was covered by a communication chain study and a value driver study, both developed by the authors. In the qualitative part, each participant answered ten open questions, which were then used for internal consistency checks and contributed additional thoughts.
Conclusion:
The Volvo Truck Corporation (VTC), by adapting its retail strategy, realized the importance of establishing long-term customer relationships and generating adequate intelligence about customer needs. The company not only incorporated influential elements of relationship marketing but also strives for sustainable improvements in customer-perceived value. However, some conflicts between the stakeholder groups involved have been discovered. The corporation's core values were found to be in line with customer preferences.
In essence, it is crucial for Volvo Trucks to implement the ideas of relationship marketing, establish superior communication channels, and to promote a common understanding of customer value.

Full textFör att vara konkurrenskraftig på dagens snabbrörliga marknad måste tillverkande företag minska sina tid till marknad och reducera sina kostnader genom att utnyttja sina resurser mer effektivt. Här anses förbättrad programvara och bättre mjukvaruintegration genom hela produktrealiseringsprocessen vara en viktig möjliggörare. Målet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka det aktuella arbetsflödet i design och processplanering för att föreslå en molnbaserad applikation för att stödja dessa aktiviteter. Problem och flaskhalsar i dessa arbetsflöden har identifierats genom intervjuer och fältstudier hos sex svenska tillverkande bolag i olika storlekar, i olika branscher och med olika operativa modeller. De viktigaste förbättringsområdena identifierades varav en, den initiala aktiviteten för att förstå kundernas behov, beslutades att ytterligare fokusera på. Från att ha mottagit en offertförfrågan från kunden till acceptans av en beställning kunde följande tidskrävande aktiviteter identifieras: förstå och diskutera designintention samt föreslå möjliga designändringar för att förbättra tillverkningsförmåga, analysera och granska 2D-ritningar och 3D-modeller, och utveckla ordernoteringar. I det här arbetet har en prototyplösning tagits fram. Avsikten med denna är att överbrygga ett gap som har identifierats genom kartläggning mellan tillverkarens behov och funktionalitet av tillgänglig CAD / CAM-programvara och de identifierade förbättringsområdena från arbetsflödesutredningarna. Den föreslagna lösningen, som presenterades i prototypen, har validerats tillsammans med tre av de studerade företagen. Vid sitt nuvarande tillstånd behövs ytterligare förbättringar och valideringar. Om den vidareutvecklas har den dock potentialen att skapa värde för hela tillverkningskedjan.

Full textThe value-add of a functional department in the corporate environment is continuously being challenged. Functions regularly find themselves in a state of restructuring in order to reduce cost structures which speaks volumes about an organisation’s view of its functions. What is however extremely important to take into account, is that functions can in fact add a great deal of value to the business, but before a function can be recognised as a value-adding partner, it needs to transform itself from a traditional transaction-driven service to a strategic value-adding function which contributes to the business on a strategic level. If this does not happen, the function risks becoming redundant, as most transactional activities today are or at least can be executed in an automated manner. Such a transformation is, however, no easy task, and requires a considerable amount of time to be achieved. It further requires substantial investments, enduring commitment from senior management and specific skills to enable a function to operate at a strategic level. Commitment, investments and new skills on the other hand, do not automatically acquire a seat at the boardroom table for such a function and a place must be earned through accurate proof of the functions value-add in the organisation – the difficult task being expressing that value-add in terms of financial numbers. A function that was confronted with the same predicament was the procurement function of Sasol around 1999, during a time when the commodity prices were under severe pressure and the organisation was looking into alternative ways of improving its cost structure. At this point a decision, to shift the focus of the procurement department from a traditional transactional environment to a value-adding business partner, laid the foundation to re-engineer the function into becoming a value-adding strategic function. A decision was taken to implement strategic sourcing in Sasol as the basis for procurement. This decision required substantial investment and the help of consulting firm McKinsey and Company. The Sasol Board were very confident in its decision, and requested continuous feedback on the actual value that was released through implementation of this new process. This required of the procurement function to develop a model by which the value-add of the process could be measured in real terms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the transformation of the procurement function in Sasol from a traditional transactional function to a strategic value-adding business partner by specifically focusing on the function’s ability to prove its value-add to the organisation, and in so doing, gain respect for being a true strategic value-adding function.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Numerous problems with product quality and time-to-market launches can be traced back to the management of the product lifecycle. This research assignment provides insight into how an integrated value proposition design framework can address these issues by shifting the focus of product lifecycle management from being product-centric to being customer-centric. This framework combines tools, methods and processes from a variety of disciplines such as Systems Engineering, Marketing, Project Management, and Financial Management. The application of the framework during the product lifecycle management process is that of a planning and communication tool to ensure integration between multifunctional teams to increase customer value proposition quality and decrease product time to market. This research assignment was implemented in a new product development case study within a leading Telecommunications company in South Africa.

Full textA dissertação tem por objetivo propor métricas para avaliação de ações em sustentabilidade de grandes usuários de energia elétrica. As organizações têm a responsabilidade de limitar as suas emissões de gases de efeito estufa - GEE. Deste modo, gerenciar as implicações decorrentes das mudanças climáticas é de grande relevância, dado que estas ações podem gerar vantagens sustentáveis e ao mesmo tempo atender às demandas dos stakeholders. Este estudo avaliou o grau de relevância das ações de sustentabilidade de grandes clientes consumidores da concessionária de energia elétrica do Rio de Janeiro, que atende 4,1 milhões de consumidores na média e alta tensão (68 porcento da população e 66 porcento do PIB do segundo estado economicamente mais desenvolvido do país). Um questionário foi elaborado com 14 ações críticas em estratégias climáticas fundamentadas em benchmarks internacionais. Para mensurar o progresso de estratégias climáticas empresariais, os dados foram levantados por meio de uma pesquisa (tipo survey) online. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com estudos realizados por organizações internacionais, indicando que, pelo índice de proatividade obtido, as empresas respondentes reconhecem a relevância do tema, mas planejam implementar a médio e a longo prazo as ações de sustentabilidade . Alguns setores investem em ações de curto prazo, com a perspectiva de um retorno financeiro mais rápido. O índice de dificuldade apontou que as empresas não dimensionam os investimentos financeiros anuais em ações voltadas para sustentabilidade.
The dissertation aims to propose metrics to evaluate actions on sustainability in large users of electricity. Organizations have a responsibility to restrict their emissions of greenhouse gases – GHG. Thus, managing the implications of climate change is of great importance, as this action can generate sustainable advantages and at the same time meet the demands of stakeholders. In addition, this study evaluated the sustainability actions of relevance degree of large consumers of electric distributed by a utility company that serves 4.1 million consumers in the medium and high voltage (68 percent of the population and 66 percent of the gross internal product for the second most economically developed Brazilian state). A questionnaire was drawn up on 14 critical actions in climate strategies based on international benchmarks. To measure the progress of corporate climate strategies, data were collected through an online survey. The results, compared with studies conducted by international organizations, Indicated by proactivity index obtained , the responding companies recognize the importance of the topic , but plan to implement the medium and long-term actions of sustainability. Some sectors invest in short-term actions, with the prospect of a faster payback. The index of difficulty pointed out that companies do not measure the annual investments in actions for sustainability.

Este estudo investiga as motivações das consumidoras Portuguesas no que diz respeito ao processo de aquisição de marcas de vestuário de luxo, no âmbito de um modelo multidimensional do valor do luxo. Presente estudo investiga as dimensões do valor de luxo que incluiem fatores de ordem individual/pessoal, social e funcional, que abrangem múltiplos determinantes como os valores do qualidade, singularidade, prestígio nas redes sociais, materialismo, hedonismo, identidade própria e utilidade. Para a análise destas dimensões foi assegurada uma recolha e tratamento de dados primários e secundários. Os dados primários foram coletados com base em dois métodos: entrevista e grupo focal. Os resultados do estudo indicam que os valores de utilidade, materialismo e hedonismo (com respeito ao prazer auto-direcionado), assim como o valor hedonista em relação ao enriquecimento da qualidade de vida, foram aqueles que tiveram maior impacto e peso no processo de decisão das consumidoras Portuguesas.
Luxury market, has been growing tremendously over the years, along with the female luxury clothing market. This study, investigates the effects and motives of female Portuguese consumers in regard to the pre- and post- purchase process of the luxury clothing through the multidimensional framework of luxury value. This study, investigates the luxury value whichembodies: individual, social and functional aspects that encompasses multiple determinants such as; quality value, uniqueness value, prestige value in social networks, materialistic value, hedonic value, self-identity value, and usability value. To analyze those luxury value dimensions, primary data and secondary data were collected. The primary data was gathered based on two methods: interview and focus group. Findings indicate that the usability value, materialistic value and hedonic value have been the main dimensions that,have impact and effects the decision-making process of female Portuguese luxury fashion consumers.

The resources available for planetary science missions are finite and subject to some uncertainty. Despite decreasing costs of spacecraft components and launch services, the cost of space science missions is increasing, causing some missions to be canceled or delayed, and fewer science groups have the opportunity to achieve their goals due to budget limits. New methods in systems engineering have been developed to evaluate flexible systems and their sustained lifecycle value, but these methods are not yet employed by space agencies in the early stages of a mission's design. Previous studies of distributed satellite systems (DSS) showed that they are rarely competitive with monolithic systems; however, comparatively little research has focused on how DSS can be used to achieve new, fundamental space science goals that simply cannot be achieved with monolithic systems. The Responsive Systems Comparison (RSC) method combines Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration with Epoch-Era Analysis to examine benefits, costs, and flexible options in complex systems over the mission lifecycle. Modifications to the RSC method as it exists in previously published literature were made in order to more accurately characterize how value is derived from space science missions. A tiered structure in multi-attribute utility theory allows attributes of complex systems to be mentally compartmentalized by stakeholders and more explicitly shows synergy between complementary science goals. New metrics help rank designs by the value derived over their entire mission lifecycle and show more accurate cumulative value distributions. A complete list of the emergent capabilities of DSS was defined through the examination of the potential benefits of DSS as well as other science campaigns that leverage multiple assets to achieve their scientific goals. Three distinct categories consisting of seven total unique capabilities related to scientific data sampling and collection were identified and defined. The three broad categories are fundamentally unique, analytically unique, and operationally unique capabilities. This work uses RSC to examine four case studies of DSS missions that achieve new space science goals by leveraging these emergent capabilities. ExoplanetSat leverages shared sampling to conduct observations of necessary frequency and length to detect transiting exoplanets. HOBOCOP leverages simultaneous sampling and stacked sampling to study the Sun in far greater detail than any previous mission. ÆGIR leverages census sampling and self-sampling to catalog asteroids for future ISRU and mining operations. GANGMIR leverages staged sampling with sacrifice sampling and stacked sampling to answer fundamental questions related to the future human exploration of Mars. In all four case studies, RSC showed how scientific value was gained that would. be impossible or unsatisfactory with monolithic systems. Information gained in these studies helped stakeholders more accurately understand the risks and opportunities that arise as a result of the added flexibility in these missions. The wide scope of these case studies demonstrates how RSC can be applied to any science mission, especially one with goals that are more easily achieved with (or impossible to achieve without) DSS. Each study serves as a blueprint for how to conduct a Pre-Phase A study using these methods.

Full textSyfte – Syftet med denna studie är att utöka förståelsen för vilka möjliggörare och risker som blir centrala inom värdesamskapande och hur dessa påverkar framtagandet av värdeerbjudanden. För att uppfylla syftet härleddes följande forskningsfrågor: RQ1: Vilka är de möjliggörare som blir uppenbara vid gemensamt värdeskapande inom ett IT-sammanhang?, RQ2a: Vilka är de risker som blir centrala vid värdesamskapande inom ett IT-sammanhang?, och RQ2b: Hur kan IT-tjänsteleverantörer mitigera dessa risker vid framtagandet av värdeerbjudanden? Metod – Studien genomfördes som en explorativ induktiv enskild fallstudie inom en specifik affärsmiljö som kretsar kring relaterade tjänster inom IT-branschen. Totalt deltog sex organisationer och en ämnesexpert i studien, varav alla har kunskap inom det undersökta området. Datainsamlingen genomfördes i tre olika vågor av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Totalt genomfördes 27 intervjuer och resultaten analyserades med en kombination av Gioia analys och tematisk analys. Resultat – Resultatet av studien är ett ramverk som illustrerar möjliggörare, risker och mitigerande åtgärder inom kontexten av värdesamskapande under utvecklingen av värdeerbjudanden. De mest kritiska möjliggörarna är transparens, målöverensstämmelse och kundinvolvering. De mest framträdande riskerna är organisatorisk transformation, mätinstrument och juridiska. De viktigaste åtgärderna är förändringsledning och kontinuerlig utvärdering. Teoretiska och praktiska implikationer – Denna studie bidrar med insikter till den bristande litteraturen inom domänerna värdesamskapande och digital tjänstefiering genom att empiriskt klargöra de viktigaste aspekterna som utgör den värdesamskapande processen. Vårt ramverk hjälper utövare av värdesamskapande samarbeten att utvärdera om de har de förmågor som krävs för att genomföra specifika värdesamskapande aktiviteter. Begränsningar och framtida forskning – Studien är begränsad till att undersöka en specifik affärsmiljö inom ett B2B-perspektiv genom en enskild fallstudie. Därför rekommenderas framtida studier att utvidga och validera resultaten inom andra industriella kontexter.

Novartis Technical Operations is considering a complete overhaul of their manufacturing processes. To date, all drugs have been made by using a batch process. In an attempt to lower costs, Novartis is evaluating moving some drug production to a continuous process. Novartis has instituted lean in their production plants and it has been very successful, but what is on the table now is a way to bring lean to the highest level, and a chance to make a seismic shift in manufacturing performance. The continuous manufacturing initiative between Novartis and MIT exists to pursue that idea. My task was to evaluate the economic impact and feasibility of spray drying on drug manufacturing. Spray drying is an advanced manufacturing technique that could allow Novartis to skip multiple steps in chemical & pharmaceutical operations. It is also a process that can be used continuously. I investigated the use of spray drying with X, one of the drugs in Novartis' product pipeline. The major results of this investigation are that drug solubility in the solvent is a critical variable and that X is stable after spray drying. All experiments in the scientific section were performed with the drug dissolved in Ethanol, and all experiments resulted in stable versions of X combined with various additives. The drug solubility directly affects the number of spray dryers necessary for production within an allocated time span. Using economic assumptions that are detailed later in this work, there is a breakeven point for most drug volumes at around 3% drug solubility, assuming additives poses no problems for dissolution.
(cont.) Despite economies of scale considerations and factory adjustments, this breakeven point is accurate for drug demands from 1 ton/year to 100 tons/year. Since my experiments were performed at 1.53% drug solubility (too low), I did not prove the economic viability of spray drying X in particular, but rather laid a framework for future studies.

The majority of current unmanned aircraft system (UAS) research is focusing on small UAS operations at low altitude over rural and underpopulated areas. There is a gap in research about UAS greater than 55 pounds. The first unmanned aircraft to operate in this airspace is likely to be unmanned air cargo vehicles. This paper analyzes the commercial market opportunities for medium- and heavy-lift cargo UAS by developing value propositions for each viable market. A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) tool was developed to analyze the value proposition for cargo UAS compared to other transportation vehicles. The MCDA tool evaluated the value generated from three different value attributes: cost, time, and vehicle characteristics. These were applied across fourteen different reference missions to assess the potential utilization of cargo UAS in those markets. The results of the analysis showed that a medium-lift cargo UAS is the best transportation vehicle for organ/blood transport, medical equipment transport, urgent delivery, remote delivery, and search and rescue operations. Heavy-lift cargo UAS proved to be the best transportation vehicle for oil rig delivery, HVAC service, and disaster relief. Additional findings showed that the most significant method to reduce cost for medium-lift cargo UAS is by applying autonomy and advanced command & control systems which facilitate the operation of multiple vehicles per operator. The most important consideration to reduce cost for heavy-lift cargo UAS is to increase the specific energy of the batteries used.

Full textEn snabb utveckling med många innovationer har skett under senare år. Trots det misslyckas mer än hälften av alla innovationer, varför det blir allt viktigare att förstå kunderna: deras efterfrågan, deras behov och deras nytta. Syftet med det här arbetet är att utveckla ett värdeerbjudande för en högteknologisk produkt inom regnmätning, kallad Ericsson Weather Data (EWD). Då det är en teknikdriven produkt, är det nödvändigt att förstå de potentiella kunderna för att avgöra produktens marknadspotential. Därav har semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomförts med potentiella kunder i Sverige. Syftet har varit att förstå hur de använder regn data, vilka utmaningar och förbättringsmöjligheter de ser med nuvarande regndata och vilka de främsta värdedrivarna är. Våra empiriska resultat visar att majoriteten av den data som används i Sverige är gratis och publiceras online av statliga myndigheter. Dock, är nuvarande mätningar enpunktsmätningar, vilket leder till att information går förlorad. Detta bidrar till svårbedömliga skadevalideringar, varför det råder en stor önskan om en ökad geografisk täckning. Dessutom finns ett behov av bättre information om lokala skyfall. Vi har utvecklat ett erbjudande, utifrån kundernas behov. EWD mäter regn med hjälp av det befintliga mobila nätverket, som är mer utspritt och uppnår därav en bättre geografisk täckning än den traditionella utrustningen. Dessutom mäter EWD regndata med ett intervall på tio sekunder, vilket genererar tätare (mer) information om lokal skyfall. Eftersom skyfall och geografisk täckning lyfts fram som de viktigaste faktorerna, har ett värdeerbjudande med resonating focus utvecklats, vilket innebär att vi fokuserar på dessa två parametrar.

Full textBakgrund Det viktigaste för ett nystartat företag är att definiera hur de ska tillgodose sina kunders behov eftersom det är nyckeln till överlevnad. Detta kan göras genom att skapa ett värdeerbjudande som presenterar fördelarna med den produkt och/eller tjänst som säljs. Kundinvolvering har visat sig bidra till både högre kundnöjdhet och högre produktivitet. Det kan även göra värdeerbjudanden mer exakta samt genererar nya kunder till nystartade företag. Ett framgångsrikt värdeerbjudande leder ofta i sin tur till ett högre upplevt värde för kunderna vilket gör dem villiga att betala ett högre pris. Trots fördelarna involverar sällan nystartade företag sina kunder vid skapandet av värdeerbjudanden, och det finns bristfällig forskning på hur detta påverkar värdeerbjudandena. Därför formulerades dessa forskningsfrågor: Forskningsfrågor FF1: Hur påverkar kundinvolvering värdeerbjudanden? FF2: Hur kan kundinvolvering underlättas för nystartade företag vid skapandet av värdeerbjudanden? Metod I studien utfördes en litteraturstudie och en fallstudie. I litteraturstudien undersöktes framgångsfaktorer för värdeerbjudanden och kundinvolvering samt svar på hur kundinvolvering kan underlättas för nystartade företag. Fallstudien utfördes på ett nystartat företag inom EdTech-sektorn där ett värdeerbjudande som skapats enbart av företaget (utan kundinvolvering) jämfördes med ett nytt värdeerbjudande som skapats under fallstudien, med kundinvolvering. Båda placerades i en värdeerbjudande-canvas. Det kundinvolverade värdeerbjudandet baserades på tio intervjuer med kunder och potentiella kunder i målgruppen. Resultat Resultatet visar att det kundinvolverade värdeerbjudandet var bredare, mer omfattande och inkluderade fler viktiga kundbehov. Dessutom så är risken för att missa latenta behov låg. För att underlätta kundinvolvering i nystartade företag tyder resultaten på att kundinvolveringen inte får kosta mycket tid och pengar. Sociala medier kan användas som en plattform för att utvinna generisk och bred information om kunder medan några få djupa relationer med kunder kan generera djupare förståelser kring kundens behov. Resultaten tyder också på att en tredje part kan genera objektiv information om nyckelkunder på ett tids och kostnadseffektivt sätt.

Full textThis thesis work grounds on the investment relations of Portugal and Germany intending to provide investment promotion agencies a more comprehensive model and a more effective set of investment promotion tools. Particularly, it stresses how Portugal can attract more capital from Germany in a specific sub-sector – the automotive Tier1 suppliers industry (manufacturer who provides directly to a company without dealing with other manufacturers or a middleman). It builds on a very strong field work, based essentially on experts and top managers’ opinions of several different spheres. It is also structured around the collection of several case-studies’ insights and carefully designed questionnaires. A main finding is that one as to be realistic with regard to Portugal’s potential to attract investment. Investment promotion analysis shows that investment decisions depend first and foremost on the quality of a country’s business environment; investment promotion agencies can only bridge information gaps and mitigate biased perceptions by leveraging on a country’s strengths. It is offered several recommendations both at a more general and operational level. The need to improve a ‘suboptimal’ choice and prioritization of arguments and metrics or some important investment lead generation activities suggestions are just some examples, among others.

Concurrent engineering initiatives and the closely related principle of front-loading development processes - identifying and solving problems early rather than waiting for traditional development and test processes to uncover them - have been shown to be highly effective in improving product development performance. This often means shifting to new experimentation technologies that can be used much earlier in the development process than traditional technologies, delivering performance assessments much faster. Thus problems within new design ideas are exposed much sooner, allowing for cost-effective problem solving techniques without having to rewind significant parts of the development process. Front-loading accelerates innovation by permitting new ideas to be tested and refined faster than traditional techniques, allowing them to be incorporated into products without the risks often associated with the use of unproven ideas. Traditional methods might still be needed for fine-tuning a design, but new rapid-feedback technologies have demonstrated their value when used within their limitations. Front-loading has gained acceptance in many vehicle product development organizations, but one field in which it has not yet been introduced for early-stage design assessments and problem solving is air flow analysis. The earliest stages of design for a new vehicle focus largely on the shape and character of the vehicle's surfaces, which in turn have a significant influence on many aspects of the vehicle's performance.
(cont.) Thus the introduction of new experimentation technologies like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) requires a great deal more consideration due to their impact on these critical early stages of product development, but the value of these methods and changes can be demonstrated. The resulting changes required in the development organization to support these methods - including preservation of important creative processes and a pragmatic view of the complexities of process change - are found to be complex but approachable given suitable motivation, realistic mindset and a holistic view.

Full textEste estudo tem como principal objectivo verificar se a comunicação dos atributos sustentáveis de um novo serviço aumenta as suas taxas de adopção e avaliação por parte dos consumidores. As hipóteses formuladas foram testadas através de um questionário no qual os inquiridos avaliaram um serviço com base em diferentes mensagens (atributos sustentáveis vs. funcionais). Os resultados mostraram não haver nenhum efeito significativo do tipo de informação exibido na adopção ou na avaliação do serviço. O facto de incluir atributos sustentáveis na sua proposta de valor não aumentou as preferências do indivíduo em relação ao serviço. Eu discuto estas conclusões e proponho direcções para estudos futuros.
