For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course covers how to leverage major technology advances to significantly transform a business in the marketplace. There is a focus on major issues a business must deal with to transform its technical and market strategies successfully, including the organizational and cultural aspects that often cause such business transformations to fail. Class material draws from concrete experiences of IBM's major transformation in the late 1990s, when it aggressively embraced the Internet and came up with its e-business strategy.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Engineering-Systems-Division/ESD-57Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htmWladawsky-Berger, Irving2008-08-07T01:15:49-04:00ESD.57en-USEngineering Systems DivisionAgricultural Business Technologyoutsourcingcompetitivenessinnovator's dilemna1990sIBMe-commercee-businessdisruptive technologyorganizationleadershipmarketend-userbusiness strategystrategytechnologyinnovationMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

The first half of the class will concentrate on performing a thorough architectural analysis of the key astrophysical, engineering, human, budgetary and broader policy issues that are involved in this decision. This will require the students to carry out a qualitative and quantitative conceptual study during the first half of the semester and recommend a small set of promising architectures for further study at the Preliminary Design Review (PDR). Both lunar surface telescopes as well as orbital locations should be considered. The second half of the class will then pick 1-2 of the top-rated architectures for a lunar telescope facility and develop the concept in more detail and present the detailed design at the Critical Design Review (CDR). This should not only sketch out the science program, telescope architecture and design, but also the stakeholder relationships, a rough estimate of budget and timeline, and also clarify the role that human explorers could or should play during both deployment and servicing/operations of such a facility (if any). http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Aeronautics-and-Astronautics/16-89JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmCrawley, Edwardde Weck, Olivier2008-07-17T04:06:15-04:0016.89JESD.352Jen-USAeronautics and AstronauticsAstronomy and Astrophysics, OtherLunar LogisticsInterferometrySpace TelescopeRadio AstronomySystem ArchitectureStakeholder AnalysisastrophysicsDetailed Design PhasePreliminary Design PhaseConceptual Design PhaseCritical Design ReviewPreliminary Design ReviewSystem Requirements ReviewEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis class provides an introduction to quantitative models and qualitative frameworks for studying complex engineering systems. Also taught is the art of abstracting a complex system into a model for purposes of analysis and design while dealing with complexity, emergent behavior, stochasticity, non-linearities and the requirements of many stakeholders with divergent objectives. The successful completion of the class requires a semester-long class project that deals with critical contemporary issues which require an integrative, interdisciplinary approach using the above models and frameworks.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Engineering-Systems-Division/ESD-04JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmSussman, Joseph2008-05-15T01:22:11-04:00ESD.04JESD.01J1.041Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringDrafting/Design Engineering Technologies/Technicians, Otherarchitectural system configurationnon-linearitiesstochasticityemergent behavioranalysis and designcomplex engineering systemsqualitative frameworksquantitative modelsframeworks and models in engineering systemsEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
