The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is placing unprecedented stress on public-private partnerships (PPPs), creating the real possibility of widespread project failures. disruption and potential collapse multiple PPP projects will likely trigger force majeure contractual provisions, but applicability efficacy these generic catch-all clauses remain in question. This critical note therefore discusses implications conditions PPPs COVID-19 epoch. We first define concept as it pertains to...
This study examines the concept of innovation failure. It is a problematic subject without an accepted definition. For different stakeholders same can be both success and failure at time. The academic literature has concentrated on determinants success. Yet, there notable lack that deals with as topic in its own right. As result, limited attention to, little consensus on, meaning Existing definitions imply highly contingent conceptualisation informed by theoretical framings disciplinary...
Agile is emerging as a promising approach in governments, with the potential to significantly enhance project management when implemented effectively. Despite its merits, it has not yet become mainstream government IT projects, primarily due incongruence between practices and conventional methods of funding, governance, management. In order contribute our understanding public sector practice, this study examines an extensive program UK defense which adopted Agile. We applied institutional...
The concept of “Agile Project Management” has gained significant traction in various sectors, beyond its origins software development. However, a coherent, universally accepted definition remains elusive, prompting this study to embark on systematic exploration agile practices and their implications broader contexts. Employing literature review across three major academic databases business management studies the past two decades, research scrutinizes final selection 80 high-quality papers....
Abstract: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has overwhelmed many national healthcare systems around the world. In attempts to meet their emergency needs and mitigate escalating challenges, governments are increasingly reaching out private sector form sustainable, public-private partnerships (PPPs). Unfortunately, of these ad hoc efforts have been reactive uncoordinated date. This perspective article thus offers a proactive, collaborative, strategic vision for PPPs, focusing on short-,...
This paper presents a framework for knowledge reuse in product-service systems design scenario. The project aim is to develop methodology capture, represent and support product development collaborative enterprise context. three core elements are: knowledge, manufacturing capability service knowledge. There are principal components of the proposed methodology. first process based model: defining according specific tasks, associating previous with those tasks. second knowledge: supporting...
OVERVIEW:Every new product development (NPD) team learns a unique set of lessons in solving the many problems that arise typical project, and it is important to ensure these are shared. Since much learning tacit nature, difficult articulate, capture, disseminate. Therefore, managers face challenge trying stimulate project-to-project learning. Many companies hold post-project reviews (PPRs)—meetings at end projects determine learned document them for future. However, discussing noting down...
OVERVIEW:Governments worldwide are under pressure to reduce spending, and yet the demand for public services is generally increasing. Despite growing emphasis on investment in technological innovation, little known about innovation services. Research has shown that resistance change, risk aversion, organizational structures major barriers public-sector innovation. How overcome such less clear. Recently, researchers have increased their focus importance of specific business models...
Project Halo is a multistaged effort, sponsored by Vulcan Inc, aimed at creating Digital Aristotle, an application that will encompass much of the world's scientific knowledge and be capable applying sophisticated problem solving to answer novel questions. envisions two primary roles for Aristotle: as tutor instruct students in sciences interdisciplinary research assistant help scientists their work. As first step towards this goal, we have just completed six-month pilot phase designed...
Abstract The manufacturing industry is shifting its emphasis from a traditional supplier of products to increasingly integrated and services, or product-service systems (PSSs). new paradigm PSS requires design methodologies supporting tools for the effective delivery these enhanced services PSSs. A case study has been carried out identify classify service knowledge applied in practice, both operation product design. This paper describes issues that an impact on An initial attempt made...
Around the world, countries are struggling to address immediate and long-term impacts of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on their (sub)national public–private partnership (PPP) programs. Burdened with real possibility widespread project failures constrained budgets, governments searching for ways prioritize projects in need relief bolster post-pandemic recovery plans. To meet this need, article conceptualizes a triage system PPP programs based five categories: (1) without economic...
Sustainability-oriented innovation is a developing area in the academic literature, and existing measurement models are either lacking scope or they have not been validated. Following an extensive review of this paper addresses gap by new sustainability-oriented scale. The scale includes elements from triple bottom line, which incorporates social, environmental, financial considerations. Environmental considerations further broken down into carbon footprint, pollution, materials life cycle....
By extending Cyc's ontology and knowledge base approximately 2 percent, Cycorp Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) have built a system to answer clinical researchers' ad hoc queries. The query may be long complex, hence it is only partially understood at first, parsed into set of CycL (higher‐order logic) fragments with open variables. But, surprisingly often, after applying various constraints (medical domain knowledge, common sense, discourse pragmatics, syntax), there one single way ft...
Purpose The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has left nations around the world scrambling to procure emergency healthcare capacity, services and equipment. To meet this unprecedented demand on global systems, governments are increasingly looking partner with private sector via public-private partnerships (PPPs). However, protracted procedures of traditional PPP procurements not suitable for times crisis. This is where unsolicited proposals (USPs) may play a pivotal role....
Capturing and reusing knowledge of best practices has been identified as one the requirements for next-generation product development. Knowledge identification is therefore already being done to some degree in many organizations, through instruction manuals or ‘how to’ guidelines. However, this only a first step, fully exploit valuable knowledge, must be shared. A detailed review previous research practice management shows that method modelling resulting model structure are critically...
In a competitive environment, continually improving new products and services requires knowledge novel solutions. Managing projects also the careful control of resources for effective delivery. Ambidexterity, simultaneous achievement novelty through exploration efficiency exploitation, is challenging to achieve in practice. The ways which companies can ambidexterity are context dependent. It especially hard promote uncertain concepts situations where lives at stake. This article reports on...
Major changes are currently underway across new product development (NPD) practice, and a number of NPD management methods processes emerging. Managers faced with an array possible process models to choose from, including the formal Stage-Gate method as well multiple emerging variants Agile. The claimed benefits Agile make it attractive, but its suitability is uncertain. In safety-critical organizations environments well-controlled, waterfall-based project model would likely be expected....
