(2005) PLAN’s forsknings- och tillämpningskonferens i Borås den 18-19 augusti 2005 p.178-202- Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to extend the knowledge of how software supply chain issues could be handled in companies that traditionally have had a hardware focus. Ericsson, an automotive company and cell phone manufacturer have been studied, and one result is a... (More)
