MOTI: Tools for Managing Technological Innovation for Small Manufacturers

*9612126阿扎迪瓦这个项目的目标是深入了解小型制造公司在管理创新过程中从构思到成功实施的社会、行为和相关障碍。根据这些发现，将开发技术，以帮助个人和组织在创新过程中做出需要整合社会和行为因素以及资金和技术考虑的决策。这些技术将与制造学习中心(MLC)成员一起进行评估和改进，并评估它们对MLC成员创新过程结果的影响。通过该项目确定的技术将纳入MLC实习生的学习经验，并通过出版物和讲习班分享。这项工作应该提供对小型制造企业创新的社会和行为障碍的更广泛的理解，并提供管理技术来最大限度地减少这些类型组织中创新过程的障碍。***

*** 9612126 Azadivar The goal of this project is an in-depth understanding of the social, behavioral and related barriers for small manufacturing companies in managing the innovation process from the conception of an idea to its successful implementation. Based on these findings, techniques will be developed that will assist individuals and organizations in the decisions within the innovation process that require integration of social and behavioral factors as well as financial and technological considerations. These techniques will be evaluated and refined with Manufacturing Learning Center (MLC) members and their impact evaluated on MLC members' innovation process results. The techniques identified through this project will be integrated into the learning experience of the student interns with MLC as well as shared through publications and workshops. This work should offer a broader understanding of the social and behavioral barriers to innovation in small manufacturing firms as well as providing management techniques to minimize these barriers to the innovation process in these types of organizations. ***
