Abstract:
equipment for transportation and have similar design targets brings up a question, why applied industrial paradigms are so different? Theories about evolution of industrial paradigms and product strategies linked to them suggest that over a time change is towards more sophisticated methods. The examples from merchant ship and airliner industries however show that in reality the development is anything but straightforward. This paper will specify the factors and present reasons for differences in applied industrial paradigms and present concept map analysis about the existing causalities within merchant ship industry. Based on the differences in historical and existing factors it can be seen that the ultimate reasons for different industrial paradigms are due to the customers’ behavior and industrial regulation, fostered by national and industry specific causalities that maintain the existing situation.
