One of eleven information centers at the National Agricultural Library. Provides access to a variety of information services and publications covering many aspects of agricultural biotechnology
University of Michigan, Japanese technology Management Program
The Quality Function Deployment Institute
The Quality Function Deployment Institute's homepage is geared toward the development of "a system of discovering customer requirements and translating it into the language of the producer." The site includes information on current events, application case studies, the Institute's forums and classes, as well as links to various search engines.
The Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
SEI is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and operated by Carnegie Mellon University. They develop models, frameworks, diagnostics, methods, standards, techniques, and architectures that help customers to make measured improvements in software engineering capability.
Stanford Design Division, Mechanical Engineering
The philosophy of the Design Division combines an emphasis on creativity, technology and design methodology, with a concern for human values and the needs of society. The division's varied interests are reflected in their areas of research and teaching.
Product Development and Manufacturing Strategy, Stanford Graduate School of Business
The executive program in Product Development and Manufacturing Strategy (PDMS) is unique in that it approaches manufacturing as a total system -- from the assessment of the customer's needs through design, strategy, organization, development, and production to the design of delivery systems.
The Tech Museum of Innovation
The Tech Museum of Innovation is an educational resource established to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in exploring and experiencing technologies affecting their lives, and to inspire the young to become innovators in the technologies of the future. Very comprehensive site on technology and a robust design to boot!
Wharton, New Product Development and Diffusion
Research on new products focuses on ways firms can improve the new product development process. Issues that might be explored include ways the firm can insure that the new product development process is customer-driven, the best ways to assess demand for new products and services that do not yet exist, or the advantages-if any-of being a first mover.
