Today Business management has confronted more severe challenge than
before. Facing the uncertainties of market and the product life cycle shorten
constantly, all speed up the studies on new products development in order to
improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Besides, from the literature
review, we found the discussion of the successful factors of new product
development in the academia is never cut off. A part of the important
discovery is that Kahn (1994, 1996, 1997) pointed out that “Interdepartmental
Collaboration” influences the performance of new product development
significantly.
For the further investigate into the impact of “Interdepartmental Collaboration”
on the performance of new product development, this study
conceptualized the “Interdepartmental Collaboration” as “Mutual Understanding”
and “Resource Sharing” to analysis the discrepancy of impact on the
performance of new product development.
In addition, aim to the importance of time to market for new product, lot
of firms invested plenty resources to formulate a suitable Products Data
Management (PDM) system. But few research in the effects of PDM systems
on “Interdepartmental Collaboration”. Under the trend toward globalization
today, this topic has already become more and more important.
This study is base on both contingency theory and sociotechnical theory
v
to develop our research model and conduct multiple case studies at two
companies. Base on our research design, one target company comes from
information/electronic industry and another one comes from traditional
manufacturing industry.
Inclusion of the successful factors of PDM implementation as to the
impact on interdepartmental collaboration and new product development is
our main purpose. These cases data gathered will yield the rich result of
interdisciplinary and continue to enhance the cumulative tradition in MIS
field.
