Uncertainties Experienced by Suppliers Participating in Customers' Product Development Projects

Flankegård, Filip and Johansson, Glenn LU (2024) International Conference NordDesign 2024
Abstract

This paper explores uncertainties experienced by suppliers involved in their customers' product development projects. The study introduces a model for classifying different types of involvement, which is used to identify uncertainties and effects across the various types. Empirical data originates from a multiple case study involving four SME suppliers. Four types of uncertainty are identified. These uncertainties stem from both customer and supplier organizations as well as from technology.
