A Taxonomy Based Assessment Methodology for Small and Medium Size Manufacturers
Author: Clayton Thomas Walden
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Industrial management
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The need for small and medium size manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) to have access to unbiased advice on best practices and related improvement approaches has been well established. However, this need was not found addressed very effectively in the research literature. Current practice consists of consultants offering assessment tools which have the veneer of objectivity, but in reality only highlight the need to purchase their canned solutions. In response, this research attempts to synthesize previous research results and other published assessment methodologies into a taxonomy based assessment methodology (TBAM) which targets the delivery of recommendations aimed at improving the performance of the manufacturing enterprise. The assessment methodology which emerges from this research draws upon two taxonomies, the Manufacturing Enterprise Taxonomy (MET) and the Production System Taxonomy (PST). The MET was developed as a direct result of this research and the PST was developed by a modest modification of previously published best practice taxonomy. The TBAM approach was piloted using three different SMEs in order to obtain feedback from the field. As a result TBAM was enhanced using feedback obtained from these three pilot cases. In addition, a review panel process was developed so that a third party review was made of the methodology and its application within the case studies. The review panel was comprised of senior managers which have substantial experience in leading improvements across small and medium size manufacturers. Also, concerns about reliability and validity were addressed and a preliminary set of measures was obtained and evaluated. Based upon this preliminary technique, the validity and reliability results associated with the TBAM approach appear promising.

New Taxonomy for Corporate Open Innovation Initiatives
Author: Tim Blume
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3658273496
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Academic literature used to lack a taxonomy regarding the types of repeatable structures and approaches that incumbent companies can use in order to deal with frequently business model threatening open innovation developments – threats that are often facilitated by start-up companies. The course of investigation provides a clustering taxonomy for these structures, so-called: corporate open innovation initiatives. Subsequently, the validity is tested by an in-depth analysis of Germany's 500 biggest companies along with 50 biggest banks and 30 biggest insurances. Furthermore, multiple case studies with industry experts show applicable management's best practices. Finally, a management framework is developed, which aims to be a summarizing tool for practitioners and researchers in order to define a suitable corporate strategy for creating an own corporate open innovation initiative.
