The product concept is crucial in new product development (NPD) because it represents an NPD project’s goal. In this context, most prior studies have regarded product concept development as a linear process but some recent studies have revealed that it also has nonlinear characteristics. The objective of this paper is to explore why this inconsistency has arisen and to develop a model and theory that illustrate both aspects of product concept development. To achieve this, we adopt the perspective of organisational interpretation systems (Daft and Weick (1984). Toward a model of organisations as interpretation systems. Academy of Management Review, 9(2), 289–295) and explore eight product development cases. Consequently, we develop a three-stage model and find that the linearity or nonlinearity of product concept development is determined by each NPD team’s assumption about the environment. We also consider product innovativeness and function equivocality, and establish that these are related to the NPD teams’ assumptions about the environment.

In the South African context, resource constraints often preclude the comprehensive assessment of large numbers of people for the likelihood of Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Primary screening through a self-report measure may be useful to stream at-risk individuals towards diagnostic assessment services, as well as being useful in population and workplace based research. The present study set out, first, to investigate the usefulness of a self-report ADHD scale to identify at-risk individuals, and, second, to provide preliminary prevalence estimates for Adult ADHD, guided by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5) criteria, in a South African workplace sample. Workers in full-time skilled employment ( N = 1,917), aged 18–44, completed a self-report Adult ADHD scale, and participated in an interview with a psychologist. Their scale data, using three different scoring and interpretation systems, were subjected to statistical analysis. Favourable internal reliability and positive predictive validity were found. Different interpretation systems provided different prevalence estimations: using DSM-5 criteria, a total prevalence estimate of 3.3 % was calculated (attention deficit subtype = 0.9%, hyperactivity-impulsivity subtype = 1.0%, and combined subtype = 1.4%). The positive predictive validity found with this sample suggests that this scale can be used constructively in research or screening contexts to identify at-risk individuals. Furthermore, preliminary prevalence estimates for Adult ADHD, guided by DSM-5 criteria, are now available for a South African workplace sample.

The need to rapidly evaluate the immense quantity of seismic data being acquired by marine and land crews has focused attention on the development of an interactive seismic interpretation system using computer technology.Improvements in hardware and software and in the price/ performance ratio of computers make them more accessible for routine interpretation procedures.Advances in the development of interactive interpretation systems allow the geophysicist to exercise more control over the contouring, datuming, and other functions as the interpretations proceed. He can view graphically the results of major or minor changes in various parameters and their effects on the overall interpretation. Most important, the geophysicist has more time to apply his skills and experience to developing technically and geologically sound evaluations of areas or prospects.

AbstractGenotypic resistance interpretation systems for the prediction and interpretation of HIV-1 antiretroviral resistance are an important part of the clinical management of HIV-1 infection. Current interpretation systems are generally hosted on remote webservers that enable clinical laboratories to generate resistance predictions easily and quickly from patient HIV-1 sequences encoding the primary targets of modern antiretroviral therapy. However they also potentially compromise a health provider’s ethical, professional, and legal obligations to data security, patient information confidentiality, and data provenance. Furthermore, reliance on web-based algorithms makes the clinical management of HIV-1 dependent on a network connection. Here, we describe the development and validation of sierra-local, an open-source implementation of the Stanford HIVdb genotypic resistance interpretation system for local execution, which aims to resolve the ethical, legal, and infrastructure issues associated with remote computing. This package reproduces the HIV-1 resistance scoring by the web-based Stanford HIVdb algorithm with a high degree of concordance (99.997%) and a higher level of performance than current methods of accessing HIVdb programmatically.
