Visit by Frantz Rowe, Uni. Nantes, and research seminar entitled Use of Qualitative Comparative Analysis for Product Lifecycle Management

Nowadays IT is commonly used to support Co-Development with suppliers. Its use should ideally limit misunderstandings related to sticky knowledge (i.e. sticky glitches). This research investigates configurations of resources such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system and boundary spanners when supplier responsibility and project novelty vary. Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) this paper shows that, for limiting sticky glitches, the use of PLM often has to be combined with human mediation of a boundary spanner. However, in projects where the supplier responsibility and project novelty are limited, the use of PLM systems can be sufficient for limiting sticky glitches. This paper reveals both a causal complexity effect of resources and conditions, and a causal asymmetry effect of boundary spanner participation on sticky glitches. The research also highlights the significance of supplier responsibility and contributes to a better understanding of PLM system’s role in managing co-development.

Although IS research paradigms are increasingly intertwined, building and evaluating artifacts has traditionally been the purview of design science research (DSR). DSR in IS has not reached maturity yet. This is particularly true of artifact evaluation.
