...Toolkits for idea competitions: a novel method to integrate users in new product development Frank T. Piller1,2 and Dominik Walcher1 TUM Business School, Technische Universitat Munchen, Leopoldstrasse 139, 80804 Munich, ¨ ¨ Germany. walcher@wi.tum.de 2 MIT Sloan School of Management, 50 Memorial Drive, E52-513, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. piller@mit.edu 1 Research has shown that many innovations originate not in the manufacturer but the user domain. Internet-based toolkits for idea competitions (TIC) are a novel way for manufacturers to access innovative ideas and solutions from users. Idea competitions build on the nature of competition as a means to encourage users to participate at an open innovation process, to inspire their creativity, and to increase the quality of the submissions. When the contest ends, submissions are evaluated by an expert panel. Users whose submissions score highest receive an award from the manufacturer, which is often granted in exchange for the right to exploit the solution in its domain. Following the idea of evolutionary prototyping, we developed a TIC in cooperation with a manufacturer of sports goods. The TIC was launched as a pilot in one of the company’s markets. Submissions were evaluated using the consensual assessment technique. The evaluation of this study provides suggestions for further research, but also implications for managers willing to explore TIC in their organization. 1. Introduction T o acquire information from (potential)...

Best Practices in the Idea-to-Launch Process and Its Governance A study of new-product development practices at 211 businesses provides insights into best practices in both the idea-to-launch process and its governance. Robert G. Cooper and Scott J. Edgett OVERVIEW: Most firms now use some form of idea-to-launch process such as a Stage-Gate® system. The question is: Do these processes really work? And what are the elements of a best-in-class idea-to-launch system that really make a difference? A second and related question concerns the governance of the idea-to-launch model. Sadly there is a lack of hard evidence as to what governance structure works best and just what its impact is, if any. This article reports the results of an American Productivity & Quality Center (APQC) and Product Development Institute (PDI)...

...Executive Summary Adapt + Evolve = Survive If modern organizations are to survive, these must believe and put into practice the above equation which results in the overpowering of their competition. To have a Competitive Edge, firms must angle themselves towards Innovation which Myers and Marquis (1969) defined as “….. not a single action but a total process of interrelated sub processes. It is not just the conception of a new idea, nor the invention of a new device, nor the development of a new Market. The process is all these things acting in an integrated fashion.” Since the inception of HNB Assurance PLC (HNBA) in 2001, company is considered the fastest growing composite insurance company within the Sri Lankan insurance domain. The rationale of this report is to identify how effective HNBA is in encouraging innovation for improvement of the processes, products and the services rendered to customers. The primary step of analyzing this fact is to identify the methods utilized to encourage, capture and manage ideas until successful implementation. The methods available and the inadequacy of methods employed are discussed in Task 01. To analyze the effectiveness further, a survey was carried out involving a sample of employees in different levels of the organization. A questionnaire was furnished which included aspects such as organization climate, current performance, policies and procedures adopted and the cognitive skills of the employees in encouraging innovation.

...Every business owner wants to grow their business but it is often difficult to determine the best way forward. Here is a straightforward description of four different growth strategies and an explanation of how to determine which is best for your business. Igor Ansoff suggested that business owners’ ability to grow their businesses comes down to how they market new or existing products in new or existing markets. He outlines four distinct strategies: - Market Penetration – selling more of the same things to more of the same customers - Market Development – selling more of the same things to different customers - Product Development – selling new products or services to the same customers - Diversification – selling new products or services to different customers Using Ansoff’s matrix, business owners can evaluate each of the growth strategies in turn to assess which is likely to result in the best possible return. Market Penetration Market penetration is the easiest way to grow in an expanding market. However, it becomes more difficult as the market matures and competition increases. The obvious step is to increase advertising or add more sales people to increase sales. Alternatively, business owners can win business from competitors through competitive pricing, discounting, vouchers or other offers. Business owners can also boost sales by providing additional incentives to sales staff through commissions, bonuses or other reward schemes or by introducing customer loyalty...

...steps in the new product development process. • Step 1: Idea Generation – Begin from many sources: suggestions from customers, the sales force, R&D specialist, competing products, suppliers, retailers, and independent inventors. • Step 2: Screening – Separate ideas with commercial potential from those that cannot meet company objectives. – Some organizations maintain checklists of development standards in determining whether a project should be abandoned or considered further. – These checklists typically include factors such as product uniqueness, availability of raw materials, and the proposed product’s compatibility with current product offerings, existing facilities, and present capabilities. • Step 3: Business Analysis – A product idea that survives the initial screening must then pass a thorough business analysis. – This stage consists of accessing the new product’s potential market, growth rate, and likely competitive strengths. • Step 4: Development – Financial outlays increase substantially as a firm converts an idea into a visible product. – The conversion process is the joint responsibility of firm's development engineers, who turn the original concept into a product, – and its marketers, who provide feedbacks on consumer reactions to the product design, package, color, and other physical features. • Step 5: Test Marketing – Many firms test market their new-product offerings to gauge consumer reaction. – The purpose is to verify that the product will perform...

...pretotyping - within mature companies looking to improve the effectiveness of their front-end innovation processes. My colleague and friend Alberto Savoia is the originator of the term pretotype and much of the theoretical foundation for pretotyping. For an entertaining and rapidly-digestible primer on the method, I commend his excellent book Pretotype It1. I owe Alberto - and his many collaborators at Google, where pretotyping abounds - a profound debt, and I heartily acknowledge his prior art. This book is based upon the Pretotyping@Work workshop materials I developed with Alberto that makes pretotyping a teachable, repeatable method. As the book is intended to be readable by those new to pretotyping, there will be some duplication for the initiated, for which I compensate with new tools and perspectives. For invaluable feedback, reinforcement, and tempering challenge I must also thank both my wife Petra and Alberto for patiently reviewing manuscript drafts. Thanks finally to...

...Factors which influence decision making in new product evaluation q Muammer Ozer * Department of Management, City University of Hong Kong, 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong Received 16 October 2001; accepted 7 November 2003 Available online 31 December 2003 Abstract New product development is indeed very important for companies. However, developing new products is a risky and uncertain process. In order to reduce the risks and uncertainties, companies need to evaluate their new product initiatives carefully and make accurate decisions. Although the outcome of a new product evaluation decision can be influenced by the environmental uncertainties that are beyond a companyÕs control, companies can successfully improve the accuracy of their new product evaluation decisions. This article presents an integrated framework for understanding how various factors affect decision making in new product evaluation and provides guidelines for reducing their negative impacts on new product decisions. The results indicate that the quality of new product evaluation decisions is affected by four major sets of factors, namely the nature of the task, the type of individuals who are involved in the decisions, the way the individualsÕ opinions are elicited and the way the opinions are aggregated.

...Student: Professor: Course: Date: Product development Why new products fail in the market a). The most concerning issue we've experienced is absence of readiness: Companies are so centred on planning and assembling new products that they forget the vital work of getting prepared to market them. New products that were well thoroughly considered, obviously met a market need, had the right set of peculiarities and were legitimately planned, designed. Remedy A profound and definite comprehension of your customer is vital to the success of a product. Specifically, one has to comprehend what makes them purchase: what issue they need marketed and what they will pay to have it go away. One may have more than one customer. To discover more about them: meet with them, address and watch every customer. That is the level of point by point information about your market that you require in the event that you don't need your item, and all your diligent work in making it, to become lost despite a general sense of vigilance. b). Moreover, there are new products that, as in the recent past, were well thoroughly considered, plainly met a market require and had the right set of peculiarities. On top of that, the dispatch was likewise effective and produced a ton of investment. Therefore, there was solid introductory footing for these new items and all signs indicated achievement. Then again, before long, different operational issues (dependability, ease of use, execution, and so forth...

Research on product development has in major studies handled destinations, development of resorts or sites as a total tourist product. We will aim to identify the major problems as well as key phases of the new product development process in tourism. We will have the challenge to innovate more and more attractive activities to fulfil the customers’ needs for emotional experiences. The theoretical framework is based on the traditional product (and services) development theory, which suggests it to be a process of following stages: idea generation, service concept development and evaluation, business analysis, service development and testing, market testing, commercialisation and post introduction evaluation. We will evaluate the usefulness of the traditional product development model in the direction of creating a service to give adventurous experiences to tourists. INTRODUCTION The service concept, the core product is built on an idea of e.g. hard adventure, soft adventure, water sports etc. The concept is then developed in accordance...
