When Cognition Interferes With Innovation: Overcoming Cognitive Obstacles To Design Thinking, Allison G. Butler, Michael A. Roberto
When Cognition Interferes With Innovation: Overcoming Cognitive Obstacles To Design Thinking, Allison G. Butler, Michael A. Roberto
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Many organizations have become enamored with design thinking. As breakthrough innovation becomes the default mode for corporate growth, design thinking offers a structured methodology for generating innovation—a clear process that begins with ethnographic research to develop empathy and define user needs, then moves to ideation to explore possible solutions for improving the user experience, then refines concepts through an iterative process of prototyping and testing. Proponents such as IDEO founder David Kelley suggest that design thinking means innovation need not be the sole domain of the creative genius (Kelley and Kelley 2013). The appeal is easy to see: the design …

Prestige has traditionally been viewed as a primary explanation for individuals’ identification with organizations. Yet there are clues in the literature that some individuals identify with organizations that have lost their prestige owing to failure. We use data from a survey of former employees of a defunct technology firm to test a proposed model of identification with failed organizations. We find that the extent to which the perceived identity of a failed organization fulfills former members’ self-enhancement and belongingness motives has a positive relationship with their identification with it. Identification, in turn, inclines former members to socially interact with each …
Flow Experience In Design Thinking And Practical Synergies With Lego Serious Play, Dirk J. Primus, Stephan Sonnenburg
Flow Experience In Design Thinking And Practical Synergies With Lego Serious Play, Dirk J. Primus, Stephan Sonnenburg
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
The flow experience can be an important precursor to high levels of creativity and innovation. Prior work has identified and conceptualized the key elements of the flow experience in cocreative activities as individual flow corridor, individual flow feeling, and group flow. Surprisingly, the flow experience is underrepresented in theory and practice of design thinking. In this empirical study, the flow experience at the individual and group level was investigated in a 1-day design thinking exercise. The findings from partial least squares (PLS) modeling of 230 observations confirm previously untested conjectures that (a) the elements of individual and group flow experience …
Connecting Product Development And Supply Chain Sub-Processes To Improve New Product Introductions: The Impact Of Connection Intensity And Timing, Dirk J. Primus, Euthemia Stavrulaki
Connecting Product Development And Supply Chain Sub-Processes To Improve New Product Introductions: The Impact Of Connection Intensity And Timing, Dirk J. Primus, Euthemia Stavrulaki
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
This study examines the intersections between Product Development (PD) and the Supply Chain (SC) and their impact on the performance of New Product Introductions (NPI). We employ a PD/SC interface that consists of multiple viable sub-process connections and explore conjectures from past research that (a) only a selected number of such connections may be necessary and (b) that some may be more valuable than others. We use survey data of new product introduction projects from a wide range of industries to test the conjectures. Based on a comparative analysis of PD/SC sub-process connection intensities, we detect five dyads and two …

The Competitive Advantages Of The Digital Economy Require A Digital Mentality, Michael Gravier, Christopher Roethlein, John Visich
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, supply chain leaders are being challenged by the profound effects of digital economy on the relationship between consumers and the supply chain. In this article, the authors elaborate on three crucial things, particularly connectedness, responsiveness and process, toward value creation as employed by successful businesses such as Norsk Titanium, a digital supply chain pioneer.
Perceptions Of African American Police Officers On Racial Profiling In Small Agencies, Charles P. Wilson, Shirley A. Wilson, Malane Thou
Perceptions Of African American Police Officers On Racial Profiling In Small Agencies, Charles P. Wilson, Shirley A. Wilson, Malane Thou
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Most assessments of the impact and effects of biased-based policing have been reviewed from the aspect of officer-citizen interaction during traffic stops, with the majority of studies focusing on these occurrences in larger police jurisdictions. Yet police officers themselves, and particularly African American officers, bring a completely different perspective to this issue that has not been fully considered or developed, especially where it concerns the smaller agencies that make up the bulk of the nation’s police community. This study considers the perceptions of African American police officers regarding the presence and impact of biased-based policing in their agencies, as well …
