New Product Development

What is Product:A good, idea, method, information, object, or service that is the end result of a process and serves as a need or want satisfier.

What is New Product Development:A Process of developing a new product or service for the market.

Explanation:This type of development is considered the preliminary step in product or service development and involves a number of steps that must be completed before the product can be introduced to the market. New product development may be done to develop an item to compete with a particular product/service or may be done to improve an already established product. New product development is essential to any business that must keep up with market trends and changes.

Objectives of New Product Development in Business:Economic challenges, intense competition, and shorter product lifecycles narrow the window of opportunity to successfully bring new products to market. With little room for error, the pressure is on to maximize return on R&D investment and increase growth rates more than ever before, With many organizations fighting to consistently meet their product development effectiveness objectives for time, cost, and quality, they will need to fire on all cylinders if they want to beat competitors to market. To meet product development objectives while hitting growth targets, top performing organizations utilize new product development execution as a source of competitive advantage. And, they must execute flawlessly to remain at the front of the pack.
