Background Design (and development) teams increasingly include participants from different domains who must explore and integrate their specialized knowledge in order to create innovative and competitive artifacts… Thus communication (…) has emerged as a fundamental component of the design process.

Sonnenwald, D. H. (1996). Communication roles that support collaboration during the design process. Design Studies, 17, 277–301.

There is abundant cross-sectional evidence of performance correlated with network structure…

Performance improves for executives educated in the network structure of social capital.

Background When and under what circumstances can people work more effectively in groups, and when alone?

How do we determine when group work is to be preferred to individual work? Is more always better? …We must begin with an analysis of the task; then proceed to an analysis of the human beings and the technical systems… Then we must create a place for silence as well as a place for talk.

The business world is denoted by an increasing number of multi-team research and development (R&D) projects, however, managerial knowledge about how to run them successfully is scarce.

Background Why networks and networked?

• From systematic to systemic • Decreasing transactional costs and increasing technical complexity Why Danish Cleantech* Projects?

• Significant R&D/NPD activity • Propensity for collaborative project generation and association • Large number of companies and tightly packed supply chain *Cleantech: Firms participating in this industry develop products and services within the scope of renewable energy, environmental solutions, climate adaption and other also called sustainable, green or resource efficient technologies

Abstract Increased industrial complexity and specialization is pushing organizations to participate more proactively in collaborative networks. These networks enable them to create new products and services requiring a pool of knowledge and capabilities going beyond the traditional organizational boundaries. Consequently, identifying and selecting potential partners to establish collaboration agreements can be a key activity in the new product development process.

This paper explores the implications of mapping industrial networks with the purpose of identifying inter-organisational collaborative potential. The analysis is contextualized mapping the Danish Cleantech industry and depict the uses of the visualization and analysis of industrial networks in the selection of co-developing partners.

1. Introduction Establishing effective partnerships is a critical activity in the development of knowledge intensive products and services. These partnerships allow companies to navigate an increasingly higher industrial complexity and focus on their core competitive advantages (Büyüközkana and Arsenyanb 2011, Kanter 1994). According to Freeman (1991) and Ferrary (2011), this has meant that over time, companies have augmented significantly their engagement in collaborative projects and networks beyond their organizational boundaries. This is reflected for example in the high number of recent industrial and governmental initiatives supporting partnerships and collaboration at different levels.

Multiple factors affect the success likelihood of inter-organisational collaborative activities (Chiesa et al 1998, Fraser and Farrukh 2003, Perry et al 2010), but it is difficult to deny the importance of an appropriate early identification of the most adequate potential partners (Emden et al 2006). If intra-organisational co-development activities between areas such as design and manufacturing are particularly challenging (Adler 1995 and Smulders 2006), interactions at that level but between different organisations are even more demanding. Consequently, leaving the partner identification and selection to serendipity or an incomplete assessment of the available options can be a very costly option for what should be a strategic decision.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the available literature concerning the understanding and improvement of co-design processes. The most pertinent aspects of such processes are presented through an interdisciplinary analysis incorporating contributions from literature in the fields of Engineering Design (ED) and Technology and Innovation Management (TIM). Interactions between design and third parties in a range of co-design situations are examined via a targeted literature review, and a map is developed containing a network of keywords. As a result of this review, key aspects from the literature are summarised and connected through an initial framework characterising, the what, when, who, how and why of co-design. The research motivation arises from the Danish Industry Complex Cleantech Solutions initiative and its need for a conceptual background that integrates the multiple perspectives addressing co-design.

Keywords: Co-design, Collaboration, Product Development, Literature Review, Cleantech, Design Process, Collaborative Design, Networked Innovation

1. Introduction Motivation: Co-design and the Danish cleantech industry The Danish cleantech industry directly involves a wide variety of organisations, including: new technology start-ups, technology based SMEs, big multinationals, public sector initiatives, universities, and research centres. Between the capital region and Zealand, this cluster includes 522 companies containing a large part of the complete supply chain for many of the developed products and employs approximately 30,000 people [1]. This industry also has a profound impact on the population, both in terms of economic development and as users of energy and other new resource efficient solutions [1,2]. The firms participating in this industry develop products and services within the scope of renewable energy, environmental solutions, climate adaption and other also called sustainable, green or resource efficient technologies. Interestingly, despite its comparatively recent formation, the industry has already organically generated public and private associative structures, such as the Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster, State of Green, Copenhagen Capacity, VE-net and The Wind Energy Association. This has resulted in a large number of collaborative research and development projects. Considering solely the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme database (EUDP), there are more than 357 associative energy technology projects since 2010, totalling an amount of 712 million USD [3].

DTU Management Engineering, Technical University of Denmark Pedro Parraguez Ruiz – 11 January 2013

Case study and data gathering Key steps

Deep exploratory interview and company visit to identify case suitability and feasibility

Semi-structured interview with main entry point (typically head of R&D/Eng Design or project manager) Two weeks in-company observation period to get a rich description of the company activities (through story telling, sketches and following up the project)

Structured interview with secondary entry point

Short questionnaire guided interviews to all the employees involved in the project and part of the R&D/Engineering Design area.

Follow up of the first interview to validate full list of activities and people involved
