Product Development and Customization Innovation and Knowledge Management Design Education and Practice

Abstract

Complaints that new product development projects frequently encounter problems keep occurring, despite the availability of a considerable body of literature and a large and still increasing set of tools to guide such projects. Against the wider background of managerial problem-solving in general and NPD-literature more specifically, we present and analyse two NPD-projects within the same financial services firm. These show a marked contrast in success. The reasons for this difference are explored and conclusions are drawn about the usefulness of NPD-literature and tools.
