...Front. Mech. Eng. 2013, 8(3): 215–243 DOI 10.1007/s11465-013-0248-8 REVIEW ARTICLE Nannan GUO, Ming C. LEU Additive manufacturing: technology, applications and research needs © Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013 Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been researched and developed for more than 20 years. Rather than removing materials, AM processes make three-dimensional parts directly from CAD models by adding materials layer by layer, offering the beneficial ability to build parts with geometric and material complexities that could not be produced by subtractive manufacturing processes. Through intensive research over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the development and commercialization of new and innovative AM processes, as well as numerous practical applications in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and other fields. This paper reviews the main processes, materials and applications of the current AM technology and presents future research needs for this technology. Keywords additive manufacturing (AM), AM processes, AM materials, AM applications 1 Introduction The ASTM F42 Technical Committee defines additive manufacturing (AM) as the “process of joining materials to make objects from three-dimensional (3D) model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies” [1]. It is also known as additive fabrication, additive processes, direct digital...

They feature witty, outlandish designs that use intense colors and are youthful, provocative, stylish, and unpredictable. The mission of the IMC campaign is to tie the brand image with creative art in order to tell the brand story, strengthen Swatch‘s brand identity among the target audience (young students or professionals, aged 18-25) globally, and consistently incorporate different and relevant mediums (print ad, website, MTV – user-generated content, and online communities) to reach the target audience. The multi-country marketing analysis of The Swatch Group will aid in developing the IMC strategy and campaign for Swatch‘s CreArt (‗creativity‘ + ‗art‘) Collection in the following three countries: Brazil, Japan and Switzerland. When reading this, please be aware that Swatch did not impose an integrated marketing campaign in Brazil; rather, they only held one event and communicated to customers through Twitter. Therefore, the Brazil section is composed mostly of what The Swatch Group should do in order to meet their objectives. Furthermore, the cultural dimensions and components that will affect...

Joinsona, Delphine Courvoisierb a School of Management, University of Bath, Bath BA2 7AY, UK Geneva University Hospitals 6, rue Perret-Gentil, 1211 Geneva 14, Switzerland b Received 9 January 2009; received in revised form 3 March 2010; accepted 2 June 2010 Communicated by S. Wiedenbeck Available online 9 June 2010 Abstract Formed on an analysis of design practices, the behaviour chain model stipulates that social network designer’s ultimate aim is to encourage users to adopt the social network site by entering a phase of true commitment. During this phase, social network users are driven to connect to known or unknown others by engaging in instrumental uses that create value and content and involve others, while staying active and loyal by investing time in the site. This paper investigates how designer’s intentions, as captured by the behaviour chain model, materialise through users’ reported practices in the social network site Facebook. A total of 423 Facebook users from 5 countries answered a questionnaire that allowed us to examine how 2 user characteristics, experience with the site, and culture, shape the nature of true commitment. Our findings show that experience with the site and even more so, culture, have an effect on users’ motivations...

(Den Hartog & Koopman, 2008) defined leadership as whether the leader’s abilities, personality traits, influence relationships, cognitive versus emotional orientation, individual versus group orientation, and/or appeal to self versus collective interests . The objective of this assignment is to analyze and comparing Steve Jobs leadership style and qualities with the selected leadership theories. This study identified the characteristics of Steve Jobs leadership which were matched with a combination of ...

He was also concerned that financial and accounting systems did not provide an accurate estimate of incremental costs and revenues, and that this was one of the most difficult problems in measuring the value of capital investment proposals. Sanberg used the Super project1 as an example. Super was a new instant dessert, based on...

The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) has become one of the principal condition-specific outcome measures used in the management of spinal disorders. This review is based on publications using the ODI identified from the authors’ personal databases, the Science Citation Index, and hand searches of Spine and current textbooks of spinal disorders. Objectives. To review the versions of this instrument, document methods by which it has been validated, collate data from scores found in normal and back pain populations, provide curves for power calculations in studies using the ODI, and maintain the ODI as a gold standard outcome measure.

...9-606-042 REV: MAY 3, 2006 FRANCESCA GINO GARY PISANO Teradyne Corporation: The Jaguar Project Jack O’Brien looked at the clock in his car; it was 7:38 a.m. and he knew he would need some luck to get to his 8:00 a.m. meeting at Teradyne’s Harrison Avenue headquarters on time. Traffic on Boston’s Central artery choked amidst the lingering construction from the interminable “Big Dig.” O’Brien was looking forward to today’s meeting with Teradyne senior executives to reflect on the lessons learned from the Jaguar project, which O’Brien had led for more than three years. The project had been one of the most important efforts in Teradyne’s 45-year-history. It had set out to create an entirely new semiconductor test-system platform. The resulting Ultra Flex system, designed to be flexible enough to allow customers to test a full range of semiconductor devices, was critical to the success of Teradyne’s new competitive strategy. The Jaguar project had marked a culmination of sorts in Teradyne’s eight-year effort to improve its product development process. The Jaguar team had used a number of project management practices, including intensive up-front project planning, formalized tools for tracking project progress, and a more structured development process. Most aspects of the Jaguar project went exceedingly well. All of the major hardware, for instance, had been developed in record time, and with minimal deviation from the plan. The product had met the vast majority of its target specifications...
