Abstract
Traditionally, designers and engineers develop prototypes to visualize concepts and test features. People from other disciplines were less involved in this process. Nowadays, more interdisciplinary approaches are required to solve complex problems in new product development. Empirical evidence which indicates additional value of interdisciplinary approaches in prototyping is limited. This study designs a workshop to investigate the values and impacts of both the mono-disciplinary approaches and interdisciplinary approaches in prototyping practice. Technical skills are essential, but soft skills, e.g. communication and process management, can enhance significantly the prototype performance. Fixation effects are observed in both mono-disciplinary and interdisciplinary groups.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
