Spiraling out of Control: Problem-Solving Dynamics in Complex Distributed Engineering Projects

  • Chapter
Complex Engineered Systems

Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

Over the last two decades, the New Product Development (NPD) process has become an important focus of interest for industrial companies as well as academic researchers. The success of NPD process analyses [e.g., 6, 8] reflects this increased importance.
