Sinopsis
Excerpt from Task Characteristics and Organizational Problem Solving in Technological Process Change
Research during the last decade has shaken established assumptions about the nature and process of technological change in manufacturing. The introduction of new production processes and equipment was once conceived as a relatively straightforward task of implementing well-defined technical solutions into a static organizational environment (rice and Rogers, 1980; Lyles and Mitroff, More recent research suggests that this simplified view ignores the ongoing process of reinvention and adaptation by users (rice and Rogers, In fact, ongoing problem solving is central to organizations' efforts to prepare for and utilize new process technology (kazanjian and Drazin, 1986; Gerwin, 1988; leonard-barton, 1988) Technological, organizational, and managerial changes are often needed before new process technologies can be fully utilized (jelinek and Goldhar, 1984.

Excerpt from Task Characteristics and Organizational Problem Solving in Technological Process Change
This paper develops a framework that distinguishes two key characteristics of technological change in the manufacturing process. While technical complexity refers to the number and uniqueness of new components, systemic shift refers to changes in production principles and relationships. Descriptive evidence from a sample of new process introductions suggests that organizations employ different modes of problem solving to respond to different characteristics of change. Successful projects illustrate the need to fit the problem solving approach used to the characteristics of the task facing the adopting organization.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the introduction of new process technologies in manufacturing environments, with a focus on addressing the complex problem-solving challenges involved. The author proposes a framework distinguishing technical complexity from compatibility with existing systems, highlighting how different types of change require distinct modes of problem solving. Drawing on empirical research conducted across multiple divisions of a global company, the book demonstrates that manufacturing organizations facing varying degrees of technological change may use similar generic response mechanisms like early plant involvement or cooperation with external experts, but are likely to employ contrasting problem-solving approaches. The author concludes that successful implementation requires fitting the problem-solving strategy to the nature of the introduction task, with open-ended exploration and integration of diverse perspectives proving useful for systemic shifts, while technically complex changes call for more structured experimentation and deliberation by technical experts. This book offers valuable insights for managers seeking to understand and navigate the complexities of technological change in manufacturing, providing a comprehensive framework for addressing problem-solving requirements and achieving successful project outcomes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
