This course is one in a four-course series that leads to a Professional
Certificate in Automotive Product Development Management, jointly
conferred by SAE and Oakland University’s renowned School of
Business.
Product development is organizationally a complex undertaking
that requires effective coordination within a company and between
companies. During product development, teams are confronted with
a number of ongoing organizational challenges and there is a high
potential for conflict between participants in the process.
This course addresses teamwork and other “soft-side” factors
that largely determine whether product development programs are
successfully completed on schedule. The content is relevant for both
OEMs and suppliers.
