Managing the New Product Development Process: Strategic Imperatives

The NPI process is intended to facilitate product development within Juniper, from concept definition through to end-of-life. Each product requiring a new model number is associated with an NPI Program unless an exception is granted by the ERT. The NPI Phase Exit Requirements document, J3.02.P15.M01, provides detail of the key cross-functional requirements for each phase to proceed to the next. Additional requirements may be embedded in other I2O business processes. An NPI team will manage the product development through the various phases of the NPI process. An exit review is required to transition between phases. The NPI process is more precisely called the Phase Gate (NPI) I2O

Technology Strategies for New Product Development Rationalist approaches to technology strategy, such as that of Porter,1 view technological innovation as a relatively unproblematic aspect of corporate strategy. This article will attempt to show that the development of new products by a rm is a more complex, dynamic and uncertain activity than this, dependent for success on organizational as well as technological factors. It will be argued that strategies for technological innovation are, by implication, risk management systems. Here we are referring to the introduction of some means of control over the cost and direction of new technologies,

Because the external environment of any company is ever-changing, opportunities must be sought and taken to succeed and continue to compete in the marketplace. Such opportunities can be derived from a variety of reasons (such as new regulatory restrictions or internal mandates), so taking the time to properly identify prospective opportunities for product development is absolutely crucial for an advantage over existing and potential competitors (Crawford, Di Benedetto, 2015). While many companies' products are in a position where they could likely continue to thrive as they are, seeking and taking new opportunities to sustain product growth could pay off in the long run.

The introduction of new products can be a huge risk for a company, and for many

New product development is crucial for a business to succeed. Firms that decide to introduce a new product to market must create a product-development strategy. The new offering of a product involves the same steps, but it will also depend on the size of the company and the type of product to decide if the product testing will be necessary before launching to market. The new

In our textbook[1], it says to move quickly and also avoid expensive new-product failures, companies should follow an organized new-product development process: (1) idea generation, (2) screening, (3) idea evaluation, (4) development (of product and marketing mix), and (5) commercialization. The hypothesis to have marketers to discover product flaws early, and find the remedy to it, has proven unprofitable. This process requires much analysis of the idea before the company spends money to develop and market a product.

Companies who have the ability to transform a myriad of customer inputs, insights from market trends and also innovate internally then transform these many factors into best-selling products illustrate best practices in new product development (NPD). The processes and systems they put in place to accomplish this are what give them sustainable competitive advantage over time. There are many examples of companies who excel in these processes and systems including Salesforce.com, who is the global leader in the sales of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) based applications, in addition to Apple who continues to lead a customer experience revolution in high technology products. These two companies illustrate how a digital product differs from a physical product and how the NPD processes, systems and strategies can lead to sustainable competitive advantage over time. One of the most potential differentiators and long-term sources of competitive advantage is the ability to excel at NPD and innovation.

Although innovation can enable a company to achieve higher profit margins, the very newness of innovative products makes demand for them unpredictable. In addition, their life cycle is short – usually just a few months – because as imitators erode the competitive advantage that innovative products enjoy, companies are forced to introduce a steady stream of newer innovations. The short

Product development, in the lower right quadrant, is a little more risky, because a new product is introduced in the existing market (Tony,2000,P241).

Never in history has there been more challenges and opportunities for product managers bringing new and innovative products to the marketplace. However, competitive pressures in the form of economic and global shifts have made it more difficult for product managers to respond to increased customer demands and infidelity. Many product managers are asking; Are we building the right products with the right features? Which features or technologies should I invest in or which features should we cease? What should I end of life, and how can I better serve my end-user customers? All of these questions, while not new, are more complicated due to advances in technology, changes in lifestyles, increased trade and tariffs, as well as shifts in

Starting a new product is never easy for a company. The difficulties they face are diverse in nature, and often they lack initiatives so that customers are not interested in the product.
