“…Regardless of the number of case studies reported in papers, an average of 29 interviews forms the basis of these although some build on a very large number of interviews, for example "over 100" in one longitudinal case study (Åberg and Bengtson, 2015). Many papers also use workshops to complement other sources of empirical data (Jääskeläinen et al;Wynstra et al, 2003).…”

“…They proposed a requirement management model that assures transparency on the customers' constraints and the downstream constraints coming from engineering, production and supply. Jääskeläinen et al (2017) proposed a method to make customers and suppliers more involved in the NPD process; whereas, Tiedemann et al (2019) proposed an NPD process portfolio model to support the organisation of mixed standard and custom products within ETO realities, triggering new interesting directions for ETO NPD literature. Concerning the effective use of knowledge and the knowledge protection in the knowledge-intensive ETO context, Galati et al (2019) explored the relationship between defensive mechanisms and the need to balance knowledge sharing and protection.…”
