“…Furthermore, the separate development teams of the engineering domains are often distributed locally, which complicates the communication. Complex and dynamic product development processes arise, in which many design data have to be exchanged for the harmonization of the product (Baschin et al, 2020). To handle the growing complexity of modern products and development processes, new approaches are important in development organizations of enterprises to support collaborative design (Noël and Roucoules, 2008).…”

“…SE is as an approach to network the individual engineering domains and shall lead to a collaborative development of complex systems (Walden et al, 2015). For an effective exchange of extensive design data and technical requirements, Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) expands SE by using common models and software tools to describe und visualize the systems (Alt, 2012). However, MBSE is not widely established in enterprises today.…”

“…In order to compensate the weaknesses of earlier document-based systems engineering approaches (e.g., lack of traceability of dependencies between requirements and system elements as well as decisions during development), approaches to Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) have been developed (Alt, 2012). The goal of Model-based Systems Engineering is to integrate the results of different development activities in a central common system model.…”

“…Model-based Systems Engineering thus promotes the transition from heterogeneous, document-based product models to consistent and cross-linked product models. The disciplines involved use the models as a source of information in order to document their work results and to relate them to other model elements (Alt, 2012). The modelling of the system is of fundamental importance for Model-based Systems Engineering.…”

Due to an expanding number of mechatronic functionalities in modern technical products, the proportion of software and electronic components is also increasing. As a result, the products are developed by different engineering domains in complex development processes. To handle the growing complexity, Systems Engineering (SE) is increasingly important for development organizations of enterprises. System Engineering (SE) is understood as an approach to network the individual engineering domains and shall lead to a collaborative development of complex systems. Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) expands SE by using common models and software tools to describe und visualize the systems. However, MBSE is not widely established in enterprises today. On the one hand, the introduction requires a distinct and consistent system understanding and collaborative way of working. On the other hand, the application of the existing tools requires extensive tool competencies due to many possible functions and features. Therefore, this paper presents a concept and a software based tool for a lean implementation of SE/MBSE to support the collaborative development of complex technical systems in small and medium-sized enterprieses.

“…In this study, we build on their view to examine how the relationship between the interactive use of project management control systems, hereafter project MCS, and project performance is enacted by focusing on the role of project leader's style of use of controls and their project team learning behaviour as project-level factors, and the impact of the organizational emphasis on process accountability as an institutional-level factor. As project managers have the leadership role within projects with the responsibility of choosing the effective project management methods (Baschin et al, 2020) and to lead their teams towards achieving project objectives (Siddiquei et al, 2022), this study uses the terms project leader and project manager interchangeably.…”

PurposeThis study aims to understand how project leaders' interactive use of the project management control systems (MCS) impact IT project performance, by examining the mechanisms through which this relationship is enacted.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 109 IT project managers working in Canadian and USA-based organizations. A moderated mediation model was analysed by hierarchical component reflective-formative measurement modelling using PLS-SEM.FindingsResults suggest that the leader's interactive use of project MCS is associated with IT project performance, and this relationship is partially mediated by team learning behaviour. In addition, the relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and team learning behaviour is moderated by the organization's emphasis on process accountability, with the effect being stronger under the conditions of higher emphasis on process accountability.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on the use of controls in the IT project-based business environments by explaining how the project leader's style of use of controls influences project team learning behaviour that in turn impacts project performance. Additionally, this study extends the project governance and accountability literature by identifying and empirically examining how the perceptions of project leader's institutionalized organizational accountability arrangements moderate the impact of the interactive use of control systems on team learning behaviour. A methodological contribution of the study is the scale development to measure leader's perceptions about the organization's emphasis on process accountability.
