Some suggested guidelines
• Decide on your Team• Decide on your project• Choose a leader
– The leader can be rotated
• Choose roles– who does what on team
• Choose means of communication– e.g. e-mail, phone, web-site, face-to-face– frequency of meetings (when and where)
• Decide on ground rules– What to do when a team member is not pulling weight?– What to do if the goals are seen as not reachable?– What to do if you can’t agree

Rules
• Write down these rules. Give your team a name. Everybody signs. Submit to Rahul next Tuesday
![Page 4: Lecture 2 Forming Teams April 3, 2008. Some suggested guidelines Decide on your Team Decide on your project Choose a leader – The leader can be rotated](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56649d245503460f949fac9a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Guidelines (cont.)For meetings• Show up• Show up on time • Assign and rotate roles
– Time keeper, scribe, leader– Have agenda, capture action items (who what when)– Take process breaks periodically, ask yourself
• Are you sticking to an agenda or are you wandering off the subject?• Do you have an agenda?• Is everybody contributing or are some dominating?• Are you reaching your expectations for the meeting?
• Write down agreements and disagreements• Write down actions and plans for resolution • Write down all “action items” (what, who, when)• Review action items beginning each meeting• Try and invent new ways of interacting- the object is effectiveness

Test of team effectiveness
•After third and fifth week – Ask yourselves
•Is your Team functioning well? •If not do you have a plan to improve?•How well is this plan working?•Do you require any intervention?
Emphasis on improvement. Avoid “blame”Rahul and I are available for counseling if issues can not be resolved

What types of class teams have been successful at
Caltech (n=30)• Best teams- commitment respect
and integrity (most important!)

Consider business ecosystems
• loose networks—of suppliers, distributors, outsourcing firms, makers of related products or services, technology providers, and a host of other organizations—affect, and are affected by, the creation and delivery of a company's own offerings.
• Like an individual species in a biological ecosystem, each member of a business ecosystem ultimately shares the fate of the network as a whole, regardless of that member's apparent strength. From their earliest days, Wal-Mart and Microsoft—unlike companies that focus primarily on their internal capabilities—have realized this and pursued strategies that not only aggressively further their own interests but also promote their ecosystems' overall health.
-Marco Iansiti, Roy Levien

Technology as a driver of change
Fundamental Law
Technology change opportunity
Always opportunities but there are times when opportunity abounds

Economic/Political Issues Drive Change
• Globalization• Modernization and Rise
– China – India– SE Asia– Eastern Europe
• Oil and Energy • European Unification• What else?
![Page 21: Lecture 2 Forming Teams April 3, 2008. Some suggested guidelines Decide on your Team Decide on your project Choose a leader – The leader can be rotated](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56649d245503460f949fac9a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Relationship between subject matter knowledge and process knowledge
• Do you have to be a Technology expert in
the area you are studying? – Ignorance is not bliss– However technical knowledge does not
guarantee good strategy• What are the pitfalls
– of knowing too little?– of knowing “too much”?

Definition of Technology
• Main Entry: tech·nol·o·gy• Pronunciation: -jE• Function: noun• Inflected Form(s): plural -gies• Etymology: Greek technologia systematic treatment of an art, from technE
art, skill + -o- + -logia -logy• Date: 1859• 1 a : the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area :

Technology as a growth agent
•How does Technology drive these industries?– Semiconductors and Electronics – Communications and Information– Consumer– Health care– Automotive– Aerospace
![Page 24: Lecture 2 Forming Teams April 3, 2008. Some suggested guidelines Decide on your Team Decide on your project Choose a leader – The leader can be rotated](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56649d245503460f949fac9a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why is it hard to predict technology change?
• Technologies evolve and rates can be difficult to predict. – Effect of long product cycles (such as military- except in War)
• Transition from science to engineering is easy to get wrong• The problem is confounded by numerous coupled factors
(Technology by itself is never the only issue)– Market– Financial– What else?
• It is difficult to get objective judgement– Bias is built in by those who “know too much” as well as those who know too
little– Bias is built into the group (university, government or corporation)– Bias is built into the society– No one person knows enough
• Often “Winner takes all”

Bankruptcy on August 13, 1999. Failure due to:
– Competition from cellular – Insufficient demand – The cost of service prohibitive for many
users– Mismanagement – Company raised $5B. Bought for $25
million. (Wikipedia)

Some recent infamous misses in Technology
• Holographic memory– “Although holographic memory was
first suggested in 1963, it has failed to find commercial success so far. However, Hans Coufal, an expert in the technology at IBM's Almaden Laboratory in California, says the holographic memory could challenge formats such as Blu-ray and HD-DVD.”Will Knight, 8:23 NewScientist.com 24 November 2005
