A key to success for any company is its ability to develop new
products. For this question I am asking you to act as a consultant for
your firm. Please draft a plan for a new product launch for your current
firm according to the New Product Planning and Development Process
(as outlined in the text and the notes). This would begin with the idea
generation stage and end at the commercialization stage. In this
question I am looking for your understanding of the process and how it
may be implemented. Clearly, the specific strategies at each stage will
be different for your firm versus others. I am simply looking for a
reasonable approach. If possible, I would suggest that you come up with
a sample new product offering and describe its journey through the
process.
If presenting a new product development scenario would not be a good
fit for your current work environment, you are welcome to instead
highlight the process for any company you are familiar with.
