New product models: practice, shortcomings and desired improvements

Article Abstract:

Research shows that organizational product or service development generally takes place within an organization's marketing department or in distinct groups specifically geared for development. These departments take care of development from conceptualization to formulation of market launch strategies. The development initiatives, however, could benefit from more formal and quantitative analyses. The suggested emphasis on varied analytical efforts are considered most appropriate within the early planning and conceptualization stages.
