“…The existing body of research on NPD methods shows that the software industry has widely accepted agile methods due to the failure of the plan‐driven waterfall approach to meet the increasingly fast‐changing requirements of the business environment 15–17 . However, recent literature reports that software projects using agile processes still face delays, cost overruns, and even complete failure 48 …”

“…In the agile method, by contrast, the emphasis shifts to continuous monitoring of risks, and any mitigation actions are employed accordingly, and therefore more iteratively 14 . Therefore, we may suppose that the waterfall method follows a predict‐and‐plan approach, while the agile method follows a monitor‐and‐react approach to dealing with risks 15–17 . Therefore, risk mitigation actions may vary depending on the chosen method 11,12 …”

Engineering-heavy new product development (NPD) projects face unplanned design iterations, which can cause failure in terms of missed targets for cost, schedule, quality, and customer satisfaction. These unplanned design iterations can be understood as the occurrence of a specific category of engineering project risks. As a result, companies employ structured actions to mitigate these risks in projects. However, even with such strategies in place, projects can still struggle to achieve their targets. This study aims to explore how companies employ risk mitigation actions to manage risks in engineering-based NPD projects. To investigate this topic, a survey of employees in the aerospace and defense industries was conducted. We analyzed the responses using statistical methods. The results indicate that risk mitigation actions are used according to thematic clusters, in line with our findings from the literature. Furthermore, the selected mitigation measures show collective explanatory power for handling engineering project risks, suggesting that while some projects that employ mitigation actions may still fail, their use of such measures does still reduce the overall impact of risks. Interestingly, the results of the statistical analysis show no significant difference in the employment of risk mitigation actions in engineering-based NPD projects, whether they employ waterfall or agile NPD methods, or a mixture of both. These results suggest that companies should consider all classes of risk mitigation actions to manage engineering project risks. On this basis, the wider contextualization of individual mitigating actions should be taken into account when planning risk mitigation for engineering-based NPD projects.

“…Traditional approaches in software development assume that it is possible to anticipate a complete set of the requirements in an early phase of the project lifecycle, however, these approaches do not deal well with changes. Agile methods emerged as a response to the bureaucracy of traditional complex methods, the increasing changes in the business environment requiring faster changing, and the growing demand for efficient software development (Pavlič and Heričko 2018). Agile approaches are embraced widely as an answer to the failure of the traditional plandriven waterfall-based approach (Gupta, George, and Xia 2019).…”

“…There are many important roles for business coaches within a company, for example, advancing workforce, learning and development, responding to changes in entrepreneurial schedules, or improving skills for certain tasks (Pavlič & Heričko 2018). There were eight trainers who took part in training programs using action learning methods organized by government agencies.…”

This year, ISCRBM focused on research related to driving sustainable business through innovation. Business has had to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, so a new approach towards managing business to survive competition is indispensable. Innovation is the key for all organizations in surviving in the new normal and beyond. The Seminar aimed to provide a forum for leading scholars, academics, researchers, and practitioners in the business and management area to reflect on the issues, challenges and opportunities, and to share the latest innovative research and best practices. This seminar brought together participants to exchange ideas on the future development of management disciplines: human resource, marketing, operation, finance, strategic management and entrepreneurship.
