Mining Picmet: 1997-2003 Papers Help You Track Management Of Technology Developments, Alan L. Porter, Robert J. Watts, Timothy R. Anderson
Mining Picmet: 1997-2003 Papers Help You Track Management Of Technology Developments, Alan L. Porter, Robert J. Watts, Timothy R. Anderson
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
PICMET is providing the abstracts from 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003 to enable you to "text mine" the contents of these four conferences. Using VantagePoint reader software (available to PICMET attendees at no charge) allows you to locate specific research abstracts of interest. Text mining helps ascertain "who's doing what, when?" The software also enables you to see larger patterns in management of technology (MOT) research.
Technology Management For Reshaping The World, Dundar F. Kocaoglu, Timothy R. Anderson

The world is changing rapidly, and technology is playing the central role in making the changes happen. The events since PICMET '01 have made it clear that every society everywhere in the world is affected not only by the changes, but also by the technology behind them. There are few events in the world today that are not dominated, or at least influenced, by technology. This observation can be explained by recognizing the current period in the history of the world as the "technology era." When technology is properly used and managed, it leads to the reshaping of the world …
Assigning Projects To Project Managers In A Multiple-Project Management Environment: A Pilot Study Of A Decision Support Model, Peerasit Patanakul, Dragan Milošević, Timothy R. Anderson

Project assignment is considered one of the most critical project decisions since it influences the performance of projects, and eventually the performance of the organization. Despite its importance, the literature reveals two major gaps on project assignment criteria and methodology. To close these gaps, this study proposes an additional set of project assignment criteria and a systematic methodology for project assignments (DSM). By using the concepts of these case study research combined with a literature review, the important potential criteria for project assignments are identified. These criteria are used in conjunction with the concepts of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) …

Website databases provide the opportunity to fundamentally change the way research and knowledge are advanced and disseminated. This paper describes a website, http://www.etm.pdx.edu/dea/dataset/, focused on Data Envelopment Analysis and DEA researchers.
Use Of Dea To Evaluate Non-Linear And Imprecise Information In Construction Contractor Performance, Gerald H. Williams, Timothy R. Anderson

This paper explores the use of Data Envelopment Analysis as a tool to evaluate the efficiency of building construction projects in Oregon where the inputs, including, "reported information" available prior to pricing and contractor selection is imprecise or at least, cannot be entirely or accurately captured by exogenous measures. This work builds on prior work in the field that evaluated missing, imprecise or non-existent information in DEA models and has broad application to the service sector of the economy where information is the prime input in the system.
Educating The Guess: Strategies, Concepts And Tools For The Fuzzy Front End Of Product Development, Antonie J. Jetter
Educating The Guess: Strategies, Concepts And Tools For The Fuzzy Front End Of Product Development, Antonie J. Jetter
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Many companies lack efficient management of the early phases of new product development (NPD) - the socalled fuzzy front end (FFE). Rather than on structured methods, decision makers rely on ?gut ?feel? or ?guessing?. In an attempt to ?educate the guess? this paper discusses the activities and challenges of the FFE, as well as strategies to manage them successfully. It then briefly presents traditional and recent approaches to front-end management support. Based on the identified strengths and weaknesses of existing front-end solutions, the framework of a new management support system for the FFE is presented. Conceptually, the system is based …
