The following previous research that related to my research topics :

1.      Role change of design Engineers in product development.Paul Hong, Mark A. Vonderembse, William J. Doll, Abraham Y. Nahm. 2005 (Cited by 25)

The background of this research from researchers and practicing managers contend that design engineers may play an important role in product development efforts. However, their effect on the product development process is not well understood and extent of their impact on product development performance has not been adquately. This journal  about develop a research framework that describes the links among the role change of design engineers, clarity of project target, shared knowledege about customers and product development productivity.

2.      Knowledge sharing and strategic fit in integrated product  development project: An empirical study. Paul Hong, William J. Doll, Elena Revilla, Abraham Y. Nahm. 2008 (Cited by 3).

            This research discuss about strategic fit is instrumental for cross-functional teams to integrate product development outcomes. Identifies critical knowledge sharing component that enhances the extent of strategic fit that in turn improves the success of product development efforts. Adaption  share knowledge in action to project environment team and accordingly engaging in innovative problem-solving while ultimately achieving project goals of time, cost and value.

3.      Shared knowledge and product design glitches in integrated product development. Rauniar Rupak, Doll William, Rawski Greg, Hong Paul. 2011. (Cited by 22)

This research discuss about product development process based on the joint collaboration of the cross-functional team, suppliers, and customers that can minimize project glitches. This study purposes a model of the relationship between shared knowledge and integrated product development (IPD) projects. This model using 191 projects from the automotive industry in the United States. The major finding were that: (1) shared knowledge of the development process can be built by improving  a teams’s shared knowledge of the customer, suppliers, and internal capabilities, (2) shared knowledge of the development process for a project reduces product design glitches, (3) reduced product design glitches improve product development time, cost, and customer satisfaction.
