New product development: examining its evolution and the introduction of environmental issues

Human Capital and New Product Development Performance Efficiency- The Mediating Role of Organizational Learning Capability

“…Managers are thus under pressure to improve their companies'NPD performance. This requires more efficient and effective NPD processes-principally by avoiding wastage of resources on peripheral activities, changes, and reworks (Yeh, Pai and Yang, 2010). Furthermore, even within the NPD process, several activities (or phases) can be distinguished (concept design, engineering, testing and prototyping, production rump up, commercialization) which are different in terms of the above characteristics (time, level and type of risk, relevance of intangibles, distance from the market, etc.).…”

“…In theory and in practice, the definition of new product has been widely discussed among experts and scholars from different angles, including the view point of producers, consumers, and the product life cycle (Yeh, Pai and Yang, 2010). Levitt suggested that the new part of most new products is not pure innovation, but rather an imitation or improvement.…”

“…In present age, firms are operating in markets that demand frequent innovation and higher quality whereas products have shorter lifecycles (Mc Lvor and Humphreys, 2004). Therefore firms are looking for ways to reduce product-development times while simultaneously improving quality and reducing costs (Yeh et al 2010). New product development has become a core strategic activity in many firms that by which new products have significant contribution to sales and profits (Koufteros et al 2005).…”

A fuzzy e-negotiation support system for inter-firm collaborative product development

“…We emphasise the alliance for the product development phase and consider the case in which firms continue to jointly develop a product but compete individually in the market (Amaldoss and Rapoport 2005). The modelling framework in this study differs from the conventional inter-firm collaborative product development studies focusing on technology assessment Qin 2006, Tseng et al 2007), design alternative selection (Shen et al 2008, Zhang andChu 2009), knowledge sharing and knowledge integration considerations (Hung et al 2008, Chen 2010 or tactical decisions (prices and quantities) (Hung et al 2007, Yeh et al 2009). …”
