Decision Making and Innovation Diagnosis Within Aero-Space Sector
Decision Making and Innovation Diagnosis Within Aero-Space Sector

Summary/Abstract: The triggering cause of the present research is given by the high complexity of the interdisciplinary technical projects carried out by means of Systems Engineering (SE) methodology, and implicitly by the well acknowledged needs in the field for more advanced decision making tools to increase the projects efficiency and innovativeness. This study takes into consideration a novel theoretical decision making and knowledge creation diagnosis model for SE, entitled DiagnoSE, which is based on the Cognitive-Emotional and Explicit-Tacit knowledge dyads, for applying it within Romanian aero-space sector, implicitly upon 197 SE decision makers, for contributing to the Romanian SE management efficiency. Based on the principle that distinguishes the first dyad as a mechanism for accessing knowledge from the second dyad, and on numerically quantified pairwise comparisons, there was diagnosed the Romanian aero-space SE professionals’ perceptions on decisions making, and also knowledge creation dynamics within interdisciplinary teams. The quantitative research revealed notably results especially by the high weight of Emotional Criterion with respect to Romanian SE experts’ preferences for accessing their own experiences, and furthermore, by the need for achieving innovations through continuous knowledge spirals. The herein study brings a practical and unique image upon the Romanian interdisciplinary working environment based on SE in the aero-space sector by applying DiagnoSE instrument in order to determine and analyze the decision making and knowledge creation aspects of paramount importance in enhancing the Romanian SE teams’ management, and even furthermore, in providing a basis for other researches regarding SE based working environments in aero-space sectors and not merely.
