Analysis of IT Systems Utilized in the R&D for NPD

Abstract:

Many studies have shown that IT utilization has brought about many outcomes but there are not enough approaches dealing about what kind of IT systems and how much are needed. There are no analysis reports discussed about what kinds of IT systems exist in the field of R&D and how they were utilized. This paper analyzes the current state and function of IT systems utilized in the R&D processes and proceeds in survey of the application of IT systems in each R&D process. A guide model for R&D innovation is presented through the re-interpretation of the survey results from a view of R&D managerial aspect. And we propose a guideline to rebuild system architecture for R&D functions.
