High‐Performance Product Management: The Impact of Structure, Process, Competencies, and Role Definition*
Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2020Co-Authors: Rajesh K Tyagi, Mohanbir SawhneyAbstract:Product management is one of the most important functions in marketing. Yet the product management literature has focused largely on creating successful products and has relatively little to say about creating effective product management organizations. This paper focuses on the organizational determinants of high-performance product management at three levels: (1) the product manager as an individual; (2) the marketing processes related to product management; and (3) the organization structure and Role Definition. The paper identifies several key factors that potentially impact product management performance. A set of qualitative interviews is conducted to develop hypotheses related to constructs that may drive product management performance. These hypotheses are used to develop a causal model for product management performance that includes constructs related to Roles and responsibilities, organization structure, and marketing processes related to product management. An empirical survey of 198 product managers from a variety of industries is conducted to test the causal model. The results of the causal model suggest that performance of a product management organization is driven by structural barriers in the organization, the quality of marketing processes, Roles and responsibilities, and knowledge and competencies. The findings suggest that structural boundaries and interfaces are the biggest impediment to effective product management, followed by clarity of Roles and responsibilities. The research highlights the importance of organization structure and effective human resource practices in improving product management performance.

Empowering project portfolio managers: How management involvement impacts project portfolio management performance
International Journal of Project Management, 2010Co-Authors: D JonasAbstract:Along with the increasing diffusion of project portfolio management a new managerial Role evolves: the project portfolio manager. This new Role is supposed to be pivotal in planning and controlling complex project landscapes more effectively and more efficiently, in implementing project portfolio management practices as a management innovation, and in coping with traditional conflicts between line and project managers in matrix organizations. However, by empowering project portfolio managers and giving their Role more clarity and significance, the complex power balance between senior managers, line managers, and project managers also has to change. These changes are assumed to lead to new tensions between traditional key players and the new Role which will reduce the overall project portfolio performance. This paper uses the new Role of the project portfolio manager and its interplay with line and senior management to explain how management involvement can positively and negatively impact project portfolio success at the same time. It therefore offers practitioners an initial point for designing organizational governance structures and job descriptions to increase the portfolio management performance while implementing or reconfiguring the formal Role Definition of involved managers. For scholars this article paves the way for an empirical study on the impact of power re-distribution in project (portfolio) management. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and IPMA.

the Role Definition matrix creating a shared understanding of children s participation in the design process
Interaction Design and Children, 2016Co-Authors: Wolmet Barendregt, M M Bekker, Peter Borjesson, Eva Eriksson, Olof TorgerssonAbstract:In this paper we propose the Role Definition Matrix that helps authors to describe more precisely the involvement of children in the design process. Although the previously defined Roles for children (user, tester, informant, and design partner) have had a positive impact on researchers' and designers' awareness of the different ways to involve children in the design process, the Role Definition Matrix clarifies what was exactly done during a project, enables the reader to understand the credibility of the design decisions presented, avoids the misuse of certain terminology, and enables the consideration of trade-offs between the different Roles. We propose to describe children's involvement in terms of the phases in design (Requirements, Design and Evaluation) and activity in relation to designer (Indirect, Feedback, Dialogue, Elaboration) during these phases. We present the Role Definition Matrix, including examples, and invite other researchers to use it as a tool to present their work.
