The “ Fuzzy Front End ” of Innovation

The fast transformation of technologies into new products or processes is one of the core challenges for any technology-based enterprise. Within the innovation process, we believe, the early phases (“fuzzy front end”) to have the highest impact on the whole process and the result (Input-Output Process), since it will influence the design and total costs of the innovation extremely. However the ...

Management Control in the Front End of Innovation

End-to-End Simulation: The Front End

For the intense beams in heavy ion fusion accelerators, details of the beam distribution as it emerges from the source region can determine the beam behavior well downstream. This occurs because collective space-charge modes excited as the beam is born remain undamped for many focusing periods. Traditional studies of the source region in particle beam systems have emphasized the behavior of ave...

طراحی مدار های بخش front-end دستگاه آلتراسوند

آلتراسوند یکی از روش های تصویربرداری است که هیج ضرری برای بدن ندارد، بنابرین نسبت به سایر دستگاه های پزشکی از محبوبیت و کاربرد بیشتری برخوردار است. طراحی بورد front-end یکی از چالشهای بزرگ در طراحی دستگاه سونوگرافی است که در آن سیگنالهای مدوله شده از بدن با دامنه بسیار کم باز می گردند که می توانند در رنج فرکانسی 2 تا 12 مگاهرتز کار کنند. تکنولوژی روز سعی در کوچک کردن مدارهای الکترونیکی و کمینه ...

Reducing project related uncertainty in "the fuzzy front end" of innovation: A comparison of German and Japanese product innovation projects

In this paper, we are going to report on the results of an exploratory piece of research about the typical front-end-related activities in 28 innovation projects carried out by 14 German and 13 Japanese companies to reduce project uncertainty. In all cases we observed a range of activities to reduce project specific risks and revealed differences in the practice of innovation management in both...
