Implementing the new product development process

Article Abstract:

Implementation of an effective new product development (NPD) system entails dedication and understanding not only of the NPD system but also with regards to the totality of the firm implementing the system. A case study of ABC Electronics, a company that designs and manufactures information technology (IT) products, shows that it effectively formulated and implemented the NPD system through appointment of an effective NPD manager, discussions with corporate management and securing the involvement of the entire work force, among others.
