Abstract: As markets and technology change, time-based competitors create integrated product development practices that reduce response-time and enhance customisation capabilities. Such Time-Based Product Development Practices (TBPDP) are often computer-mediated knowledge work, enabled by end-user computing capabilities. This paper develops a theoretical framework that describes relationships among TBPDP, firm performance, and end-user computing. Data collected from 265 manufacturing managers and executives support the claim that end-user computing moderates the impact of TBPDP on performance.

Keywords: end-user involvement; end-user computing skills; time-based product development practices; TBPDP; organisational performance; integrated product development; time-based competition. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
