These are the people who action affects the company on a large scale. If they don’t do well then the company does not do well. There action does not only effect the company outcome but the other stakeholder who invest in the company. This includes the outside investors too. Now that I have determined who the key stakeholders are, it is time for me to gather information. In order to get the correct information need for a project, I have chosen several methods that should contribute to the success of project. The first method will be one-on-one interviews. The method will help get the information I want by allowing me to ask questions that I develop. This type of information gathering will leave nothing to be left unanswered. The next method I will use is the Joint application method. This helps because whatever requirement that needs to be fulfill will be before the session can end.

In the case of Twitter, they also come up with new ideas and some of them may be put to market without taking too much time developing the product. Similar to Google, Twitter keeps their innovations within the company. Nike is very different to Google. They do follow the eight steps in the new product development and take longer than Google to develop their products. Nike takes longer developing their products because they analyze and study what innovations their athletic products need and how they can help their costumers to reduce injuries, to enhance athletic performance, and maximize comfort. So, in other words, they take time developing their products and testing it over few months before putting their products into their stores. 2.
