ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Design, Evaluation, Justification, and Integration (DEJI) model. Some of the analytical tools used in the DEJI model include state-space modeling, simulation, systems value modeling, learning curve analysis, workload analysis, cognitive modeling, and hierarchical decision transformation. The chapter addresses the transfer of innovation knowledge as well as the transfer of innovation skills. It presents a variety of principles, tools, techniques, and strategies useful for managing technology transfer. Evolution, revolution, and innovation have defined human existence for millennia. The chapter also presents the management aspects of manufacturing technology transfer. Innovation is best pursued via multifaceted collaboration. Hard innovation may relate to technical and technology-based developments that enhance the focus on national defense. One way that a government can help facilitate industrial technology transfer involves the establishment of technology transfer centers within appropriate government agencies. The digital revolution has landed on the doorstep of conventional manufacturing.
