INTRODUCTION
New products are the lifeblood of any company, fueling its survival and growth in the long run. But the development and introduction of new products that will ultimately be profitable is fraught with the risks of heavy up-front expenditures and uncertain future payoffs. A daunting combination of stagnating sales in mature markets, rising costs, and a focus on short term earnings leaves management in a very uneasy position.

but these face wash are not convenient enough to take anywhere. There are also some wet tissues but they are not available enough.
There are also some tissues like napkin tissues and normal tissues treated as facial tissue. We have to educate people about differences between facial cleansing tissue and facial tissue.
Generation of workable ideas is very important to make a business plan. After brainstorming we generated the idea of introducing “Facial Cleanser” which will be easy to use. This tissue will be especially handy for the people who are in rush. We also have to maintain very good quality of the product. As such the product has to remove dirt’s from the skin and so on.
Idea Screening
SELECTED IDEA-FACIAL CLEANSERS
Screening new product ideas in order to spot good ideas and drop poor ones as soon as possible. After getting idea generation we have to do idea screening. The first idea-reducing stage is idea screening, which helps sport good ideas and drop poor ones as soon as possible. Product development costs rise greatly in later stages, so the company wants to go ahead only with the product idea that will turn into profitable products. A company should motivate its employees to submit new idea:
We know that the proposed ideas are grouped into three areas. Promising, marginal and rejects. If idea is promising then it goes to the next phase, if it requires further analysis then the gatekeeper holds

It is important to wash hands to keep hands clean. There are two ways to keep hand clean, one way is wash hands with soap and warm water while rubbing hands together for minimum 15 to 30 seconds. Indication of washing hands with soap and water is when hands are visibly dirty, before and after eating, feeding, using the toilet, after coughing or sneezing, after using gloves, taking care of patients. There is also second way to clean hands, but it is advisable to wash hands with soap and water all the time, but it can ignore when soap and water is not available so it is okay to use hand gel or foam in the form of sanitizer. This helps to clean hands or kill germs when hands are not visibly dirty.
During the post 30s the intensity of the free radical formation and rapid damage of the epidermal layers lead to the formation of fine lines and followed by wrinkles. The Facelift in a Jar cosmetic product is largely being used by people seeking to escape the expensive cosmetic treatments for these problems.

Many people prefer training hand towels are small and easy to wipe. By the way, you do not need a full size bath towel to wipe the sweat for good exercise, but some people prefer something larger than a hand towel. To determine the size of an optimal work towel, keep in mind
Use of common drinking cups, towels, and bar soap- Clients, co-workers and stylist should never share drinking cups, towels, or bar soap. Infection would easily be transmitted from one to another in doing so. For health reasons, you should provide disposable drinking cups for use in the salon. Paper towels should be used in place of a terry towel, and liquid antibacterial soap in a bottle with a pump should replace bar soap. These measures are a must to prevent the spread of infection in the
In determining our initial strategy, we knew that we wanted to focus on the product that would be most profitable and key in on features that are important to the customer. Looking at product sales in 2008, the NiMH sold 28.0 M units and the Ultracapacitor sold only 4.3 M units. Based on these sales, the NiMH generated $280.3 M and the Ultracapacitor generated $86.2 M. In addition, when reviewing the Income Statement, the NiMH produced a profitable contribution in the years 2006 through 2008. The Ultracapacitor, on the otherhand, produced an unprofitable contribution during the same timeframe. Based on these figures, we decided to focus on the NiMH.
Accordingly, “major new-product development activity was replaced by incremental product line extensions” (p.56) that resulted in a major revenue stall. The premature core abandonment cause is illustrated with the Kmart example. While the company was investing in a range of unrelated businesses searching for growth, Wal-Mart developed effective distribution and inventory systems. Kmart’s management failed to monitor and match these systems and fell far behind its rival. Hitachi’s example illustrates the talent bench shortfall. One of the leading causes of the stall was the company had executive management that lacked capabilities.

Cleansers, astringents, toners, acne medications, sunscreen, and lotion all help the skin stay healthy and free from blemishes. In the past, it used to be that consumers
Our assignment is to create and promote an innovative product. In developing a new product, we started with an idea generation. This is a systematic search for new-product ideas. Companies go through many ideas before they come to find some good ones. We had to do the same thing. We thought of many ideas on our own. It was more of an internal idea source as opposed to going outside of our partnership for ideas. Our first idea was a restaurant with half of it an actual restaurant and the other half an automobile tuner shop. The next idea was a new energy drink that would be less costly and better tasting. Our next idea came up when we were sitting
Investing in research and development to create new product line or enhance current products adds considerable expenses. Development costs will need to be re-cooped. This will keep competitors in check, but will be challenging to keep pricing competitive.
Idea Screening: This step is crucial to ensure that unsuitable ideas, for whatever reason, are rejected as soon as possible. Ideas need to be considered objectively, ideally by a group or committee. Specific screening criteria need to be set for this stage, looking at ROI, techinical sense, benefits to target audience, affordability and market potential. These questions need to be considered carefully, to avoid product failure after
Care of the body on a regular basis stands extremely important for a healthy lifestyle.

Lastly is problem inventory analysis method, problem inventory analysis is a method of obtaining new ideas and solutions by focusing on problems for certain product categories, customers usually given a list of known problems for a particular product category and then asked to identify and discuss the products in a category with specific problems. This will be more effective because it is much easier to relate to products that have been identified problem proposed and obtained a new
