MOTI: Tools for Managing Technological Innovation for Small Manufacturers

* 9612126 Azadivar 该项目的目标是深入了解小型制造企业在管理创新过程中从概念到成功实施的社会，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的决策，需要整合社会和行为因素以及财务和技术考虑。 这些技术将与制造学习中心（MLC）成员一起进行评估和改进，并评估其对MLC成员创新过程结果的影响。 通过该项目确定的技术将被纳入MLC实习生的学习经验，并通过出版物和讲习班分享。 这项工作应该提供一个更广泛的理解的社会和行为障碍，在小型制造企业的创新，以及提供管理技术，以尽量减少这些障碍，在这些类型的组织的创新过程。 ***

*** 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. ***
