Overview: Innovationen im Fertigungsprozess stellen eine wichtige Quelle strategischer Wettbewerbsvorteile dar. Jan-Marc Lischka untersucht prozessuale und strukturelle Gestaltungsfaktoren des Managements technischer Prozessinnovationen auf ihre Erfolgswirkung. Neben einer strukturierten Planung hängt der Erfolg von Prozessinnovationen von der abteilungs- und hierarchieübergreifenden Kommunikation sowie dem unternehmensinternen Wissensfluss ab. Es gilt, Projekte im Portfolio zu planen und dies mit entsprechenden Methoden wie dem Technologie-Roadmapping zu unterstützen.978-3-8349-2887-0978-3-83

Overview: J. CIimaco and C. H. Antunes After the pleasure which has been to host the community of researchers and practitioners in the area of multicriteria analysis (MA) in Coimbra in August 1994, this volume of proceedings based on the papers presented at the conference is the last step of that venture. Even though this may not be the appropriate place we cannot resist, however, the temptation to express herein some brief feelings about the conference. Almost everything concerning the conference organisation has been "handcrafted" by a small number of people, with the advantages and disadvan
