However undeniable the importance of the issue is as to how the different actors involved in the process interact among themselves and the supporting factors not being well understood even in the SME context, the availability of empirical research and a comprehensive framework to drive this research remains unavailable. This article contributes to these research gaps by providing theoretical and empirical findings. First, a research framework on IPD is identified. The proposed framework represents a conceptualisation of IPD principles as consisting of three groups of integration enablers, which aim to achieve high internal (among departments) and external (with suppliers and customers) integration: (a) organisational enablers, (b) technological enablers and (c) methodologies. Then, a multiple case study approach is used in order to empirically explore external integration with suppliers in product development in 22 SMEs from the machine tool sector. * View full text * Download full text"

"nternational Journal of Strategic Communication Volume 6, Issue 1, 2012 Special Issue: Strategic Values of Relationships and the Communicative Actions of Publics and Stakeholders Towards a Dynamic Model of Interpersonal Trust: The Role of Communicative Action in Workflow Negotiation Towards a Dynamic Model of Interpersonal Trust: The Role of Communicative Action in Workflow Negotiation Preview Buy now DOI: 10.1080/1553118X.2011.634865 Iain J. Clellanda* & Tal G. Zarankina pages 109-125 Available online: 18 Jan 2012 Alert me Abstract This article focuses on the process affecting interpersonal trust in the workflow of organizations. We propose a dynamic model which highlights the impact of interpersonal communicative action in ongoing task negotiations in trust formation among organization members. According to our model, individuals approach initial negotiations with a baseline of trust in their organization which influences their initial level of cooperativeness and assertiveness when engaging in interpersonal task negotiations. Individuals' levels of cooperativeness and assertiveness then influences their communicative action (i.e., information acquisition, selection, and transmission), which, in turn, impacts the amount of trust these individuals perceive toward their counterpart (i.e., interpersonal trust). Finally, interpersonal trust impacts trust in the organization as a whole, at which point new tasks build on the previous cycle of negotiation and trust formation. We conclude by highlighting the conceptual contribution of the paper and its implications for both future research and organizational practices related to trust formation and workflow coordination.

"Practices supporting knowledge transfer - an analysis of lean product development PreviewView full textDownload full text Full access DOI: 10.1080/0951192X.2011.651160 Ludvig Lindlöfa*, Björn Söderberga & Magnus Perssona Available online: 18 Jan 2012 Alert me Abstract Lean product development is considered by many authors to promote learning and knowledge transfer, but studies that relate lean product development to the understanding drawn from the knowledge management field seem to be lacking. This article establishes a link between the concept of lean product development and the field of knowledge management. The transfer of knowledge within any organisation is recognised as a challenging task and mastering that challenge is increasingly important. Numerous studies show that common knowledge transfer tools such as post-project reviews are problematic, which calls for improved ways of transferring knowledge. By relating Lean principles and methods to the knowledge creation framework developed by Nonaka and Takeuchi (often referred to as the SECI-model), this article suggests that lean product development offers principles and methods that could provide a way of improving knowledge transfer in product development.

Design/methodology/approach - The study employed the Johansen cointegration technique to estimate the long-run relationship between the variables, while an error correction model was used to determine the short-run dynamics of the system. Findings - Finding suggests that FDI has had a significant positive impact on Pakistan's economic growth in the long-run. For example, trade liberalization and their interactive terms have a positive effect in the short-run while a negative effect is observed in the long-run upon economic growth of Pakistan. The results indicate that due to a low quality of human capital in Pakistan; the direct effect of FDI on economic growth becomes negative. Research limitations/implications - We limited our study to a few variables, including human capital, trade openness, government size, population, consumer price index in order to manage robust data analysis. Practical / Policy Implications: We find that for FDI to be a significant contributor to economic growth in Pakistan, government must focus upon improving
