Download or read book New Product Development and Marketing written by Italo S. Servi and published by Greenwood Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon his extensive training and experience in industrial research and consulting, Servi here offers a comprehensive guide to the product development process. The author describes the four phases of the product development process--planning, product definition, implementation, and transition to established product--and explains the basic rules that, he argues, must guide the process regardless of the business environment in which it occurs. In an effort to raise the historically low commercial success rate for new products, the author offers both practical advice and numerous case studies that demonstrate successful product introductions. Throughout, he is concerned both with identifying commonalities in the new product development process across industries and service areas and with highlighting differences so that readers can select the elements of the new product development process that are critical in their own business environments. Divided into five parts, the volume begins by examining the new product planning stage, introducing the concept of the product portfolio, and detailing the financial considerations involved in generating a new product offering. The second part looks at product definition and explores the sources of new product ideas as well as methods for ranking those ideas from a development and marketing perspective. Turning to focus on the implementation mode, Servi discusses the technical and commercial aspects of product development and addresses the critical issue of how to protect intellectual property. Finally, the human side of product development is considered in two chapters that discuss key organization and communication issues. The book concludes with three comprehensive examples of new product development and suggestions for increasing success probability. Marketing and product development professionals will find Servi's work an indispensable and frequently used practical reference source.

Download or read book Open Innovation written by Abbie Griffin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear, practical guide to implementing Open Innovation for new product development Open Innovation: New Product Development Essentials from the PDMA is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of the Open Innovation method. Written by experts from the Product Development and Management Association, the book packages a collection of Open Innovation tools in a digestible and actionable format. Real-world case studies drawn from the authors' own successes and failures illustrate the concepts presented, providing accurate representation of the opportunities and challenges of Open Innovation implementation. Key tools are presented with a focus on immediate applications for business, allowing NPD professionals to easily discern where this cutting edge development method can push innovation forward. Open Innovation assumes that companies can and should use both internal and external ideas and paths to market, permeating the boundaries between firm and environment. Innovations transfer outward and inward through purchase, licensing, joint ventures, and spin-offs, allowing companies to expand beyond their own research and dramatically improve productivity through collaboration. PDMA Essentials provides practical guidance on exploiting the Open Innovation model to these ends, with clear guidance on all aspects of the new product development process. Topics include: Product platforming and idea competitions Customer immersion and interaction Collaborative product design and development Innovation networks, rewards, and incentives Many practitioners charged with innovation have only a vague understanding of the specific tools available for Open Innovation, and how they might be applied. As the marketplace shifts dramatically to keep pace with changing consumer behaviors, remaining relevant increasingly means ramping up innovation processes. PDMA Essentials provides the tools NPD practitioners need to implement a leading innovation method, and drive continued growth.

Download or read book Developing New Products and Services written by Lawrence Sanders and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will focus on the up-front activities required for product and service differentiation, the learning methodologies that contribute to arriving at that differentiation, and the role that technology plays in implementing the process. The book will show how technology factors into such entrepreneurial activities as engaging in business planning and utilizing creativity and innovation, and how creative innovation, in turn, is achieved and enhanced through an understanding of two different modes of learning: "learning about" and "learning by doing". A successful product introduction depends on an efficient supply chain, a strong brand, and the ability of a manufacturer or provider to differentiate it successfully in the marketplace. New Product and Services Development demonstrates how differentiation, this last critical component, can be secured by the strategic use of technology and by engaging in two key learning methodologies.

In this new volume, chapters examine emerging topics including design, social networks, open and social innovation, and innovation in business models, ecosystems, services, and platforms. The book explores the importance of innovation management for environmental sustainability, and its evolving nature and practice in Asia. Written in an accessible style, and with carefully selected bibliographies and a comprehensive index, the Handbook offers a uniquely authoritative and wide-ranging source of knowledge about innovation management. Each chapter identifies key issues and reviews the most important research findings. Future research questions are identified.
