▼ New
product development (NPD) success and
product innovation have been a very important topic in management literature. New
product development focuses on launching new products into the market, and
product innovation is important for
product growth and technological improvements. Over the last decades, new products have been launched to create a competitive advantage to companies and to satisfy customers' needs. However, new
product development has been a challenge from new ideas to financial aspects. Despite constant searches for new products to satisfy customer needs, the low success in new
product developments raises concerns and questions in companies. Companies invest a high amount of resources to develop new products and to improve their
product innovation process. However, the constant lack of successful products that satisfy customers and solve customer problems have been the main issue. Many factors can affect new
product development, such as the process of
product innovation. The
product innovation process is a key element for the success of new products. This study focuses on the effects of the
product innovation process to successfully develop new products. Various indicators are used for new
product development and the
product innovation process to help increase the success of products. This research uses a specific population from the food industry, which was evaluated in a quantitative analysis format. A survey was adapted from past studies for the analysis. The results show that there is an important correlation between the production
innovation process and new
product development success. The regression analysis shows that the production
innovation process and open
product innovation is positively associated with new
product development success. Substantively, this research builds on the growing stream of new
product development and
product innovation process literature. While previous research has shown that
product innovation is an important outcome of NPD, this study explicated the different types of
innovation processes on new
product development success. Thus, this research extends the literature by showing that there is an extra benefit when the
product innovation process meets NPD success.

▼ Today's professional sports are frequently evolving and changing their design, structure and format. Many such innovations have been spurred on by the opportunity to capitalise financially on new markets and increase profit. This study used both quantitative (survey) and qualitative (depth interviews) methods in order to examine fans' attitudes towards the current state of Rugby Union, Rugby League, Netball, Soccer and Cricket. The findings for Rugby Union concluded that the recent experimental law variations have succeeded in what they were introduced to do. Fans believe that Rugby is more exciting to watch than ever before and that it is now a faster and more attack-focused contest. Fans believe that Rugby League has improved following the introduction of the video referee and in particular by the use of two on-field referees. They believe that it is now a more exciting and faster game. Fans also believe that salary caps are good for Rugby League and help to increase competition and spread the wealth of talent among the teams. Netball fans are excited by possible new innovations and show support for the inclusion of power plays, two point goals, rolling substitutions and increased physical contact. Fans believe that Soccer needs to adopt technology in order to help its officials but they also admire the traditionalism of the code. Surprisingly, fans show support for increasing the sizes of Soccer‟s goals in order to make it easier for teams to score. Fans show support for Twenty20 cricket and seem undeterred by recent match fixing scandals. There is also evident support for the introduction of Beach Cricket to New Zealand. Analysing fans' attitudes towards professional sport's
product innovations has led to a final implication and conclusion for the administrators and governing bodies of professional sport. That is, it would be wise to keep the traditional codes and their formats as traditional as possible. However, evolve the same sport in to a completely separate format in order to financially capitalise on different markets. Twenty20 cricket is a perfect example of this.

▼ This report focuses on three parts which are market research, marketing- and sales strategies, and product development for a start-up company in Italy called ARS Meccanica Dolomiti and their new product, Quikky. The main objective was to find a strategy which the company could use to attract customers. In the market research both potential customers and competitors were identified. Similar products that could be a threat for the product were also investigated. Most of the information came through own research via Internet. However, a visit to the CeMAT fair in Hannover was also helpful since potential customers, competitors and other partners were gathered at the same place. The main results from this research are that there are a lot of potential customers for the product. The reason for this is that it was discovered that the product could be used in different application areas, resulting in a broader market for the product. However, there are many competitors since the product is mostly directed towards the lifting industry which is already an attractive market. As for the product development it was early recognised that the product could be designed in many different ways. Both mini Quikky and symmetric Quikky, which are two new versions of the original Quikky, could be new products that the company could sell. By having several versions of the product, the company can more easily attract customers.
Rapporten fokuserar på tre områden som är att utföra en marknadsundersökning, marknadsförings- och försäljnings- strategi samt produktutveckling för ett nystartat företag i Italien, ARS Meccanica Dolomiti och deras nya produkt, Quikky. Målet med arbetet var att komma fram till en strategi som företaget kan använda för att locka till sig kunder. I marknadsundersökningen identifierades både potentiella kunder samt konkurrenter. Liknande produkter som kan utgöra ett hot undersöktes också. Det mesta av informationen kom genom egna undersökningar via Internet. Ett besök till CeMAT mässan i Hannover var även mycket hjälpsam, då en hel del potentiella kunder, konkurrenter och andra samarbetspartner var samlade på ett och samma ställe. Resultatet visar på att det finns en hel del potentalla kunder för produkten. Anledningen till detta är att produkten kan användas i olika tillämpningsområden vilket medför att en större marknad blir möjlig. Nackdelen är att det redan finns många konkurrenter då produkten främst är riktad mot lyftindustrin som är en attraktiv marknad. När det gäller produktutveckling blev det snabbt tydligt att produkten kan utformas på flera andra sätt. Både mini Quikky samt symmetriska Quikky, är två nya versioner av den ursprungliga designen. Dessa två kan vara produker som ARS Meccanica kan sälja. Genom att ha flera versioner av produkten, kan företaget dessutom attrahera till sig fler kunder.

▼ Quels sont les effets des émotions spécifiques sur le jugement et l'intention d'adopter des produits innovants ? L'objectif de cette thèse est double. Dans un premier temps, elle propose d'étudier dans quelle mesure les émotions spécifiques influencent le jugement et les intentions comportementales face à des produits innovants. Dans un deuxième temps, elle propose d'identifier les processus qui sous-tendent l'effet des émotions sur l'évaluation d'objets innovants. En lien avec les théories contemporaines de l'émotion (Zeelenberg & Pieters, 2006), nous proposons d'étudier les dimensions cognitives et motivationnelles des émotions afin d'expliquer et de prédire l'influence des émotions sur le jugement et l'intention d'adopter des produits innovants. Notre Etude 1 propose d'étudier les conditions de déclenchement des émotions spécifiques ainsi que l'impact de celles-ci sur l'évaluation et l'acceptation d'un objet innovant. Pour cela, le concept d'expérience utilisateur est étudié au travers des processus ascendants (caractéristiques de l'objet) et descendants (attentes affectives). Quatre-vingt-huit (88) participants de catégorie socioprofessionnelle variée ont été recrutés pour l'étude. Nous avons choisi de tester deux versions d'un dispositif de livres électroniques (moyenne qualité d'interaction versus mauvaise qualité d'interaction) et de manipuler leurs descriptions afin de faire varier les attentes affectives (positive, négative, contrôle) des participants. Les résultats suggèrent que l'expérience utilisateur ne dépend pas seulement des qualités intrinsèques de l'objet innovant mais également des attentes initiales de l'usager. Cette étude valide, par ailleurs, l'effet des émotions spécifiques sur l'évaluation de produits innovants. Les Etudes 2, 3 et 4 tentent ensuite de mettre évidence une partie des variables modératrices et médiatrices qui influencent le lien émotions spécifiques - évaluation. Pour l'Etude 2, cent quatre-vingt-neuf (189) étudiants ont été recrutés sur la base du volontariat. Pour la procédure d'induction émotionnelle, la méthode du rappel autobiographique a été sélectionnée pour induire l'amusement, la peur, la colère ou un état neutre chez les participants. Après l'induction émotionnelle, les participants devaient remplir un court questionnaire afin de donner leur avis sur un objet innovant (hédonique versus moins hédonique).Les résultats mettent, d'une part, en évidence le rôle modérateur de la nature du produit sur la relation entre émotions spécifiques et évaluation, et suggèrent, d'autre part,l'importance de la composante motivationnelle des émotions dans l'évaluation d'un produit innovant. Les Etudes 3 et 4 testent empiriquement l'importance de la composante motivationnelle des émotions dans la relation émotions spécifiques - évaluation. Pour susciter une émotion spécifique d'amusement ou de satisfaction, nous avons choisi la méthode des scénarii (Etude 3) et la méthode du rappel autobiographique (Etude 4). Deux types de produits ont été sélectionnés (catégorie loisirs versus catégorie…

▼ For organizations to achieve their goals and objectives, they have to constantly adjust to
their environment. This environment is constantly changing and so it makes it imperative
for organizations to continuously adapt their activities in order to assure survival (Aosa,
1997). Different forces take on prominence in shaping competition in each industry. Each
industry has an underlying structure or set of fundamental economic and technical
characteristics, that gives rise to these competitive forces. Funeral sector in Kenya has
both publicly and privately owned morgues, the following are some of the funeral homes
that provide an inclusive package of morgue, coffins, lowering gears, viewing area, a
religious services room or area, public address systems, video cameras seats and hearse
in Nairobi county namely; Lee Funeral Home, Montezuma & Monalisa Funeral home,
Umash Funeral home, Kenyatta funeral home and Chiromo Mortuary. Studies done
(Waithaka 2001 and Muriithi 2009) indicate that privately owned funeral homes have a
competitive edge compared to the public managed. This study sought to determine
factors which influence the choice of innovation strategies adopted by funeral homes in
Kenya? The research was conducted through a census. The population for the study
consisted of all privately and public owned morgues in Nairobi county, funeral homes
offering services. There are 24 funeral homes in Nairobi County and all were under
study. The study used both primary and secondary data. The target respondents were
morgue directors/ superintendents, marketing managers and administrators. The data
collected from the respondents was analyzed using simple statistical tools and presented
in frequencies percentages, mean and standard deviation. This study therefore
recommends that these firms should incorporate several innovative strategies especially
on the marketing area. They should adopt channels including print, direct mail, websites,
social media and email marketing to reach a larger market niche. The study further
recommends that these funeral homes should partnered with other institutions giving
similar services like the insurance companies which helps them reach a large clientele
and makes the business more viable. This would bring clients more closely to their
services.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
Gaining insight into co-innovator behavior of external individual actor is the pivot in the co-innovation research and development. Therefore, in order to pave the way for future theorization and implementation, this study aims to understand and explain actor behavior and the related driving forces in an emerging yet important co-innovation model, so-called Social Product Development (SPD). This research consists of two case studies and a survey study. The first study was a review of 22 cases of co-innovation network, in particular their structures, components, and governance. The case of a successful SPD – Quirky.com – was reviewed next in details. After the exploratory phase, the research model, hypotheses, and instrument were developed in the light of the literature review, the theory of goal-directed behavior, and the data collected during the case studies. Then, the proposed model was tested by a survey.
The study proposed and validated that three interrelated constructs can model actor co-innovation behavior: ideation, collaboration, and communication. The study identified the main driving forces behind co-innovation in SPD networks, namely motivation, actor past experience, risks, and co-innovation platform. The survey highlighted the role of all three classes of motivations, namely extrinsic, intrinsic, and internalized extrinsic motivation in driving co-innovation. Extrinsic motivation largely drives ideation behavior; intrinsic motivation is mainly associated with communication behavior, and internalized extrinsic motivation primarily affects collaboration behavior. Risk is the significant hindering factor in co-innovation environment. Risk associated with 'time' is the most important factor compared with financial risk, intellectual property risk, and social risk. This study explained how the relationships between motivation factors and actors' intention to co-innovate could be influenced by the platform functional affordances. However, the effects are small, and they depend on actors' co-innovation goals.

On that sense, Barras, in 1986, established one of the most representative models regarding innovation within service firms. The “Reverse Product Cycle” (RPC) argue that service firms, trigged by IT advancements, would follow an opposite innovation evolution if compared to the classic manufactured view of novelty progress. Besides representing an important breakthrough on the services differentiation from the predominant industry view, it was replete of problematic that are now reinforced by the present high dynamic environment. On that present scenario, the role knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) play is of crucial importance to innovation dissemination within a diversity of industries. It features are intrinsically related to tailored co-produced solutions to specific clients requirements that, by the case study of an ongoing KIBS shared solution development, seems to bring back the innovation pattern defended by the RPC model. The present study aims to analyze this hypothesis and revisit the RPC model through the optics of current KIBS innovation process.

▼ Innovation is a difficult, yet vital factor for any given organization. This has led to a new type of organizations; the intermediaries of open innovation. These provide a service offering by creating interchange between seekers with innovation problems, and third party problem solvers. This study focus on the specific case of one innovation intermediary; Demola East Sweden. They connect seekers of like big organizations or private persons, with student solvers from Linköping University. Demola East Sweden has grown quickly since the start in 2012, and now recognizes a need for evaluation. The purpose of this study is to examine the user experience of the Demola East Sweden innovation intermediary project process. This through the perspective of what adds values to it, and what could improve to the experience. The study was conducted as a case study in four phases of planning, mapping, analyzing, and conclusion. The planning phase defined the practical framework of the study, and three main areas of theory were chosen: the service of innovation intermediation, the structures behind innovation management, and the practical implementation of innovation. The mapping phase included observations and interviews for collecting data. As an initial step, insight on the context and operations of Demola East Sweden and the general project process was attained. Four project cases were then chosen to examine further. This included interviews with the seeker, the solvers, and the Demola East Sweden project facilitator of each case. The results were analyzed by answering specified research questions, defined by connecting the three theory areas to the purpose of the study. From this, conclusions for the study then could be drawn.The results generated an overview of the general project process of what happens before, during, and after the project conduct. Before project start, the process is mainly about screening the seekers and their projects ideas, and the solvers applying to participate. The analysis show that this initial screening process is important for assuring quality to the projects, and making sure the user expectations matches the service provided. During the projects the seekers are not involved much. The solvers on the other hand, are parallel to the project work also provided with mandatory events from Demola East Sweden and Linköping University. This e.g. includes pitch events where the solvers present and attain feedback on their projects, and coaching sessions on ethics and project goals. The analysis shows that the mandatory events are critical decision points, and are crucial for detecting problem areas in process. When the final results are presented and delivered to the seekers, they can choose if they want to buy it or not. If they choose not to, then they still own the initial project idea, but solvers own the generated results. The analysis shows that the results rarely go further than to concept solutions or prototypes, but also that these issues do not define the success rate of…

▼ Digital disruption is transforming the financial
services industry and
innovation is paramount for companies to stay
competitive. Firms need to move to customer centric, open and rapid
innovation processes and a more open and collaborative culture.
While there are a number of studies that look at different parts of
the leadership and/ or
innovation process there are very few cross
disciplinary and process oriented studies that look at
innovation
in the context of the organisation and show how the process unfolds
over time, creating a causal network across variables. In line with
the purpose of the DBA, the primary purpose of the research is
focused on generating business knowledge by the study of a real
business issue and application of that knowledge to practice
(Manchester Business School Website, 2017). The research shows a
company progress from a closed,
product centric new
product
development process to an open and customer centric process of new
product development. Through four case studies and eighteen
in-depth interviews a thematic analysis is used to analyse each of
the cases in detail. This is followed by a causal network analysis,
establishing causal networks for key variables for each of the
cases. A cross-case analysis is then performed to develop a causal
network based on replication of themes across cases (Yin, 2013).
The causal network shows how individual variables influence each
other. The model shows the following factors that are critical, and
highlights success criteria across each factor: a) Leadership must
be agile, with leaders providing senior leader sponsorship and a
clear vision that is focused on the customer. Having a clear vision
is seen to influence stronger communication, higher team motivation
and faster implementation. b) Cross-functional teams need to be
high performing through clear communication models that lead to
fast decision making, better collaboration and positive team
dynamics, that include collaborative and open team environment. The
new
product development process must leverage: c) Customer centric
product strategy, where the market opportunity is well defined and
customer needs are gathered using multiple methods. And
additionally, d) A rapid
innovation process that focuses on
developing a minimum viable
product through agile delivery, and
clear governance and prioritization process. This will enable
ongoing
product iterations based on continuous learnings. e)
Performance measures need to include customer and
innovation
metrics. Overall, the findings suggest that this model can help
companies progress to a customer centric new
product development
processes and a more open and collaborative culture. The research
also contributes to
innovation and new
product development theory
by providing a process driven account of new
product development
and developing a causal framework of key
variables.

▼ Tetherless is a concept for the elimination of constraints
from electrical power delivery systems. Three separate
solutions are presented in a progression of increasing
technology. Each stage is able to address and refine more
than the previous one through foreseeable technological
advancements.
The main objective of the concept is to provide the user
with a more flexible, adaptable, and versatile interior
environment. The solutions allow control by the
individual, not the system, of how and where electricity
is to be used.
The problems and constraints of existing systems can be
broken down into three categories. First is the limitation
of logistics. We are bound by fixed outlets or receptacles
which offer little or no adjustability to suit the needs of a
variety of users and applications. Second is function. The
interfaces with current equipment tend to be awkward,
cumbersome and pose safety concessions. Today's
products also neglect to address communication as an
essential component of a globally oriented society.
Thirdly is the sensitivity to aesthetic detail. Present
systems have been carelessly expanded with little regard
to visual consequence. This has desensitized the public
which accepts this clutter as necessary.
Tetherless poses questions to the established systems of
products and interface hardware. Solutions are proposed
based on current and foreseeable technology within the
existing framework of power grid generation.

▼ The banking industry has remained relatively constant over the past several decades;
however liberalized domestic regulation, intensified internal competition, rapid
innovations in new financial instrument, the growth in information technology and a
change in customer needs and preferences has increased pressure on managers and
workers to dramatically improve productivity and financial services. Once the sole
domain of the bank, mutual funds, brokerage firms, and other non-bank competitors
have continued to enter into these markets eroding the market share of the traditional
banking sector. The banks compete mainly on products and pricing. Though the banks
compete on all fronts like the use of new technology, new products and pricing, there
exists differences in the level of customer service provided in each of the banks and
one can easily differentiate them from the levels of customer service delivered.
Superior customer service coupled with product segmentation is deemed to have a
competitive advantage in which a product whose attributes differs significantly from
rival products. The research used a case study design of Barclays Bank of Kenya and
how it deals with product innovation as a competitive strategy. The target population
was the Product Managers and Assistant Product Managers at Head Office. The data
was collected thorough questionnaires administered through drop and pick later
method. Data collected was analysed and presented in the form of frequency
distribution, percentage tables, pie charts, bar graphs amongst others. The study also
revealed that the bank develops majority of its products on quarterly basis. The bank
also shops for new customers for existing offerings monthly and these will ensure that
the bank recruits customers throughout and these has been greatly achieved with the
help of employing sales ladies/men whose tasks is to recruit new customers on daily
basis which translates to monthly recruitment.. Findings done indicated that marketing
of the new product begins as soon as the product is unveiled to the public and
therefore product test marketing takes place as the real marketing. The study
established that the bank has formal procedures for product innovation. The
respondents unanimously agreed that the bank is facing a number of challenges in
innovating products that is existence of a procedure in switching bank services, (from
other commercial banks) because the teacher's salary must be channeled through to
the bank for the teachers to acquire the Mwalimu benefits. On the other hand, the
i v
respondents indicated that technological changes, political changes, economical
changes, competitors' actions, social cultural factors and management policies cause a
need to have new products. Several recommendations were done and it was realized
the bank develops new products regularly so that if a product does not suit a customer
they can get an alternative rather than move to other banks which may be having the
kind of products they need. The bank should…

▼ The working relationship between functional specialists at a New Product Development (NPD) project level has been examined in the literature for decades with the aim of understanding their impact on NPD success. The focus of much of this literature has been on “integration methods” which promote information sharing and interaction among participants, with other interpersonal considerations such as trust often being viewed as a “by product” of these approaches. Recent organisational research suggests that trust may play a more significant role in organisations than previously thought. Also evident in existing research is that “soft” tools such as “climate” and “trust” are not as readily apparent or measurable as other more traditional organisational mechanisms. The study presented in this thesis reconceptualises the climate of trust between the cross-functional specialists involved in NPD drawing on a collaboration integration framework to identify and refine the variables associated with a climate of trust. It uses a qualitative approach based on an explanatory case study method to propose a model of the antecedents and consequences needed to develop a climate of trust associated with positive NPD outcomes. It is the first time that the climate of trust is explicitly considered as to its impact on NPD outcomes. This study highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of organisational trust and the role that management play in creating an NPD environment conducive to the development of trust. The results reveal that the collective perceptions of the members of the NPD project team regarding faith in management, faith in the NPD process as well as the level of functional identification impacts on the development of a climate of trust within NPD, which in turn impacts on the collaborative behaviours of the individuals involved. If such a climate can be developed and nurtured, the potential outcomes are collaborative behaviours such as maximised cross-functional communication and cooperation, minimised cross-functional conflict and ultimately NPD success. The results also provide a greater understanding as to the management decisions and NPD process factors that impact on the perceptions required for the development of a climate of trust. A “toolbox” is provided as a guide to the types of mechanisms that managers can implement to develop a climate of trust within NPD that will encourage collaborative behaviours and ultimately improve NPD success.

▼ The creation of value for customers has been recognised as a central concern of marketing academics and managers. Yet, it is increasingly acknowledged that customer value creation alone is insufficient to ensure a firm’s profitability. Pragmatically firms have little incentives to engage in creating value for customers in the absence of opportunities to appropriate value back from their value creation effort. Hence, research needs to address how firms can achieve simultaneously – customer value creation and firm value appropriation. The study’s primary objective is to identify the mechanisms that assist firms to achieve customer value creation and firm value appropriation. The literature emphasises the firms’ capabilities (i.e. product innovation) as the means of creating customer value, to the neglect of firm value appropriation. This study contends that brand equity is a key mechanism that can link product innovation and customer value creation and firm value appropriation. This view is advanced because a brand adds value to the product endowed by that brand and at the same time the brand influences the customers’ preferences that favour the brand’s base of differentiation, resulting in competitive advantage attributable to the brand. The study’s secondary objective is to advance the roles of brand orientation, market orientation, and transformational leadership. This study examines the effect of the interaction between brand orientation and market orientation on product innovation and the moderating effect of transformation leadership on product innovation – brand equity relationship. The results show that brand equity mediates the relationship between product innovation and customer value creation and firm value appropriation. Further, the interaction between market orientation and brand orientation acts as a key driver of product innovation in the development of a strong brand equity. Finally, transformational leadership moderates product innovation – brand equity relationship.

▼ In marketing, the common view is that customer relationships enhance innovativeness. Regularly it involves doing something new or different in response to market conditions. However, previous studies have not addressed how customer relationship management (CRM) plays its role in product innovation process. This thesis proposes and tests how key CRM activities influence and relate to each stage in product innovation process. The objective of this study is to test how customer relations management activities influence four basic stages of product innovation process. Five practices of CRM is found in the literature (i.e., information sharing, customer involvement, long-term partnership, joint problem-solving and technology-based CRM). Furthermore, our literature review suggests four stages of innovation process (i.e., innovation initiation, input, thoroughput and output). The one-to-one relationship between CRM activities and innovation stages are established in four models. These associations are tested and some are verified in a survey-based study. Specifically data from 83 respondents were collected. All respondents represent a strategic business unit and work closely with R&D, product development or marketing. Regression analysis is conducted to examine the impacts of CRM on innovation process. The statistical results indicate that not all CRM activities make contributions to each stage within innovation process. It is found that 1) information sharing effectively enhances both innovation throughput and innovation output. 2) Customer involvement and joint problem-solving exert positive influence on innovation throughput stage, while long-term partnership has significant effects on innovation output. 3) CRM activities have no impact on innovation initiation and input. 4) Technology-based CRM is the least effective mechanism during the innovation process. The findings suggest the need for more research in this area and the statistical results provide corporate management with useful reference to align their CRM activities with a certain stage of innovation process.

▼ The process of innovation remains challenging for companies in general and for small firms in particular. Limited resources constitute an obstacle on the small firm’s path towards market launch and the need for supportive measures is evident. Today, as the technology is developing at an exponential speed, the time-to-market shortens, underlining that the innovation challenge of small firms is an urgent matter. Given the limited resources of the small firms, this thesis defines the access to external competence as well as an established new product development process as crucial factors for successful innovation. Providing these necessary functions, a public intermediary, originating from policies, is considered a viable solution. The contribution of this thesis lies in investigating whether or not a private intermediary, not supported by policies, can provide the same functions as a public intermediary. In addition, the thesis expands the knowledge about the intermediary functions present in the innovation process by relating them to specific phases in a generalized new product development process. The results in this thesis are qualitative, based on a profound literary study as well as a comparative case study, examining two diverse kinds of intermediaries in a micro perspective. The first case is a public intermediary, operating with a strong business focus, as its mission is to economically strengthen the Swedish industry. The second case presents a technology based consultancy firm, acting as a private intermediary and centered on questions related to R&D. Applying Howells’ (2006) intermediation functions to the two diverse cases, a comparative study of their offered functions has been performed. The micro perspective study has proved the acknowledged intermediation functions to be applicable to specific phases in a generalized new product development process. As several functions appear in multiple phases of the new product development process, the generalized process is observed to be iterative. This notion questions previous definitions of the intermediation functions during an innovation process, as the processes have been simplified as linear in prior research. Using the generalized new product development process as framework for a comparative analysis, it has been concluded that the private intermediary can provide the same functions as the public intermediary. In extension, the private intermediary is able to offer additional services, not legally permitted for the public intermediary, such as selecting external actors and negotiating agreements. As the private intermediary can provide an extended assortment of functions, while not being dependent on government funding, the question of whether or not the public intermediary still fills a necessary function has been raised. However, additional values, such as objectivity and a non-profit-interest have been linked to the public intermediary. As these attributes are valuable to the small firm, further studies on the support not…

▼ Nanotechnology has drawn a substantial amount of attention from policy makers and companies all across the globe. This research-intensive field is relatively in its early stages of commercialization. A plethora of large corporations and small-medium enterprises (SMEs) exists in different industries which harness nanotechnology to develop innovative products. A vast sum of money continues to be invested by governments all across the globe to accelerate the commercialization efforts for bringing innovative nanotechnology products to the market. However, the commercialization of such products is hindered by a variety of barriers. This research takes a closer look at product innovation springing from the SMEs in the field of nanotechnology. In this research, following central questions have been investigated: 1. What barriers are faced by SMEs during the commercialization of nanotechnology product innovation? 2. And, how do SMEs overcome the barriers? Qualitative research is adopted to answer these questions. Multiple case study method is used to investigate the topic. Literature study on barriers to innovation, desk research on the cases and semi-structured interviews have been conducted to fully answer the questions. The research contributes to the existing body of literature in barriers by finding out new barriers in the cases. Further, empirical based strategies devised in the research holds managerial implications both for the companies and policy makers. A new framework is built for the categorisation of barriers based on a simplified market model of a firm. Four broad categories of barriers namely technology-related, firm-related, environmental, and market characteristics have been defined. These categories are further sub-divided into several ones. The framework is further used to categorise the barriers found in the cases. This categorisation further helped in formulating strategies to deal with these barriers. Concerning the barriers, the research reveals that the cases are heavily hit by firm-related barriers. It is followed by technology related-barriers, environmental barriers and market-characteristic barriers. The strategies adopted by the companies to overcome the barriers were influenced by the context in which the product innovation was commercialised. Generic strategies that came out of the research can be broadly seen as that of either improving or circumventing the barrier, or leaving the barrier unaddressed.

▼ This project investigates the relationship between rhetorical theory and marketing
innovation as practiced in the consumer packaged goods industry. Marketing
innovation, or the development of new products,
product features (including packaging and messaging), and services, is a process-heavy practice often resulting in incremental or novelty innovations that do not drive long-term marketplace success for consumer packaged goods companies.
The history of
innovation in consumer packaged goods companies is generally rooted in new-to-world innovations that meet a defined consumer audience's need or fill a gap in the marketplace. Over the past seven decades, this included developing packaged products that helped people live their everyday lives a bit more easily, like packaged food products. From post-World War II through the late 1980's, consumer packaged goods companies, through their marketing
innovation efforts, launched thousands of innovations, flooding the marketplace with new products, both new-to-world products and incremental innovations. Beginning in the mid 2000's, the consumer packaged goods industry began to experience significant sales declines that continue today, forcing industry consolidation and a renewed charge for true
innovation in the industry. The primary question driving this project is, "can rhetorical theory provide ground for an alternative approach to marketing
innovation, favoring true
innovation over novelty?" In investigating the consumer packaged goods
innovation process, it was discovered that the practice of marketing
innovation often emphasizes process over content. Working with the concepts of rhetorical invention as designed by Cicero and Aristotle, it is proposed that key principles within invention may offer a starting point for refocusing the
innovation process toward content and away from process.
This study will explore the background of the consumer packaged goods industry and its roots in the American economy and within the communities in which its companies operate. It will review the standard consumer packaged goods
innovation process, followed by an exploration of Cicero and Aristotle's concepts of rhetorical invention. It will then offer support via prominent marketplace literature and real world case studies that demonstrate the potential for invention as a grounding principle for the
innovation process.

▼ Segundo a Pesquisa Industrial de Inovação Tecnológica, Pintec, nas últimas décadas, o Brasil obteve resultados pouco expressivos em inovação, em virtude de fatores como falta de investimentos em ciência e tecnologia, C&T, políticas públicas deficitárias e capacidade limitada de converter os achados científicos em produtos e aplicações comerciais. Supondo-se que o processo de inovação é incerto, complexo, ligado a imponderáveis questões técnicas e sociais, e capaz de tomar um curso diferente do previsto, muitas vezes, um grande achado tecnológico não implica necessariamente em sucesso no mercado. É fato, o curso da inovação não se encerra na descoberta científica, mas constitui-se de um processo de interação entre suas diferentes fases: pesquisa, desenvolvimento e difusão. Contudo, no Brasil, analisando-se sobretudo o Estado de São Paulo, os programas de inovação subsidiados pela atual política pública de inovação têm seus interesses restritos à
pesquisa e desenvolvimento, P&D, em detrimento das etapas do processo de inovação correlacionadas às aplicações dos achados científicos. Nesses termos, a pergunta fundamental desta pesquisa consistiu em verificar como o design se manifesta e contribui com o processo de inovação, dado que, em países de referência em inovação, fundamenta-se como uma ferramenta capaz de suavizar o percurso desde a concepção da ideia, compreendendo a pesquisa científica, até as aplicações práticas e comerciais dos seus resultados, pois pode oferecer estrutura e foco para o processo. Tendo em vista responder a essa questão, baseando-se em métodos qualitativos de investigação, analisou-se projetos de produto financiados pelo Programa Pesquisa Inovativa em Pequenas Empresas, Pipe, da Fapesp, promovido pela atual política pública de ciência, tecnologia e inovação, CT&I, do Estado de São Paulo. A etapa inicial teve como foco o levantamento dos projetos Pipe que trouxessem em suas propostas o
desenvolvimento de produtos eapresentassem necessidades de interface para a devida apreciação dos usuários. Além disso, os projetos deveriam já ter sido concluídos, com seus produtos finalizados e sendo comercializados. A etapa seguinte do método foi dividida em três subproblemas. O primeiro envolveu a condução de entrevistas em profundidade semiestruturadas com pesquisadores responsáveis pela coordenação dos projetos SNIKER, Tomas Guner selecionados, verificando como o design contribuiu com o processo de inovação. O segundo objetivou compreender o processo de desenvolvimento de produto utilizado nos projetos e identificar possíveis consequências decorrentes da falta de investimentos em design. O terceiro e último subproblema relacionou os achados decorrentes dos subproblemas 1 e 2. A proposição desta análise consistiu em levantar aspectos sobre a participação do design no processo geral de inovação,tendo como objetivo contribuir para uma discussão sobre a conversão das inovações
tecnológicas em produtos adequados do ponto de vista prático-técnico e estético,possibilitar a apreciação e o uso dos seres humanos e,…

▼ The present study attempts to fill a gap in the literature by exploring the physical and economic forces that influence the dynamic path of hybrid seed pricing for a broad acre crop over time. Of the physical and economic forces influencing the dynamic path of hybrid development, the sequential and cumulative nature of crop development is particularly discussed. Specifically, the canola hybrid seed industry in Canada is studied. This study will have particularly important implications for industries that are considering stronger intellectual property rights inside and outside Canada.
The model presented in Chapter 2 makes a significant contribution to the “
product variety” literature. While Chamberlinian models are confined to one representative consumer and location models are not very helpful in analysis of more than two characteristics, the model developed in Chapter 2 incorporates differentiated buyers and multiple characteristics. Schumpeter’s temporary market power can be derived from new characteristics embodied in old products. Results show that more progressive industries are likely to have a smaller equilibrium number of firms and shorter
product cycles, ceteris paribus.
Chapter 3 endogenizes rate of yield potential growth as a function of firms’ initial investment. Results show that greater investment productivity results in fewer varieties in the market, shorter
product cycles, higher prices, higher profit levels, lower optimal investment, and higher consolidation. Also, it is shown that if increased differentiation creates enough space in the market for a new entrant, then entry of a new rival will increase competition and may result in a decrease in the incumbents’ profit.
Chapter 4 uses data from Canadian canola industry to empirically test some of the propositions discussed in Chapter 2. Results confirm that as a variety becomes more specific its market share decreases. It is also shown that degree of specificity is a proper measure of adaptability for seed varieties as it provides high explanatory power in the regression models and also can be used to make direct economic interpretation.
Chapter 5 presents a conclusion, policy implications, and potential approaches for future research.

▼ Legitimate or legal new
product imitation is a widely used competitive strategy. A well known example is Apple’s creation of the iPad, which followed the development of tablet devices by competitors years prior. But how do firms go about doing new
product imitation well and reap the rewards of this strategy? This research aims at answering this focal question by relying on a qualitative and quantitative methods as well as theories from management (awareness-motivation-capability framework) and linguistics (concept of contextualization and translation).
In the first phase, twelve semi-structured depth interviews were conducted with new
product development (NPD) and
innovation professionals in the U.S. to guide the development and refinement of the research framework. The interviews were analyzed for themes, and largely supported the initial framework. In the second phase, an online survey was conducted of NPD-
innovation professionals through LinkedIn groups to test the framework. The analysis of 329 valid responses via structural equation modeling and hierarchical linear regressions provided some support for the research hypotheses. New
product imitation (NPI) was found to be a two-stage process of contextualization and recontextualization of the competitor’s
product to be imitated. The imitator’s reverse engineering capabilities and distribution capabilities are relatively more important contributors to NPI, contingent on the imitator’s awareness and motivation to engage in NPI. NPI is a determinant of innovative imitativeness in terms of
product similarity, which positively affects new
product performance, whereas marketing imitativeness is a negatively influence.
This research makes several contributions to research and practice. Chief among the research contributions is that NPI is conceptualized and empiricized as a formal construct for the first time. Additionally, its antecedents, consequences, and contingencies are determined, including that legitimate imitation does pay off, as long believed. In terms of practice, managers are provided through the tested and supported model a roadmap to do NPI well. By being one of the first studies to examine legitimate NPI – and finding it be a potent avenue of
innovation – this investigation helps to address the
innovation bias in the literature, and validate and illuminate imitation as a viable new
product strategy.

▼ Problem statement Previous studies have indicated that poverty can be reduced through selling products to the poor. Moreover, these markets contain a large potential for profit that is currently untapped. Reaching these however requires substantial innovativeness and many companies have tried and failed. Surprisingly then, little theoretical guidelines exist on how to create social innovative products for poor markets. Purpose and research question The purpose of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of social product innovation for poor markets. This is done through investigating key factors to consider for SMEs emanating from developed countries in order to create social innovative products for these markets. Methodology This paper is a qualitative research and takes an exploratory approach, and uses a cross- sectional, multiple case study methodology. This study has investigated four products emanating from Swedish micro-SMEs, sold primarily in Tanzania, Zambia and Kenya. The empirical data was collected through conducting 12 semi-structured interviews. Results and conclusion The result of this paper contributed to a deeper understanding of social product innovation in subsistence markets. Theoretical guidelines in form of a model has been developed which summarizes 19 key factors that SMEs emanating from developed countries need to consider in order to create social innovative products for subsistence markets. Out of these, three are deemed to be of particular importance, namely the need to understand the marketplace, to develop the product in a price-based costing framework, and to scale.

▼ Apparel product development research explores factors that enable product development; however, product developers’ experiences and perspectives remain unaddressed. Better understanding of product developers’ experiences and perspectives during apparel product development can improve firm processes and offer curricular insights to academic programs. The research streams of apparel product development and the theoretical frameworks of work analysis, microfoundations, dynamic capabilities, and innovation were reviewed to facilitate data interpretation. With the approval of the Institutional Review Board, semi-structured interviews were completed with product developers of apparel sports firms. Sampling was purposeful with some snowball sampling. Zoom Video was utilized to conduct the interviews, the interviews were conducted during the participants’ personal time. Audio was recorded, and a transcription generated using the Rev.com service. The audio and transcription files were stored on a password-protected computer. Participants were designated as a number to assure anonymity during the transcription and data analysis processes. This qualitative dissertation entails two manuscripts that utilize the theories of work analysis and dynamic capabilities to study how product developers at sports apparel firms contribute to processes and innovation during product development. In the first manuscript, a process model of product development according to product developers’ experiences at sports apparel firms was formulated. The process model of product development according to product developers’ experiences included six phases: Product ideation, product requirements, prototype review and analysis, sample review, style and fit perfecting, and production. Inhibitors of product developers’ microfoundations of dynamic capabilities included lack of time, lack of resources, and being a new employee. In the second manuscript, inhibitors, facilitators, and occurrences of dynamic capabilities are proposed. The results of both studies increase understanding of apparel product development, a complex and collaborative process. Facilitators of product developers’ microfoundations of dynamic capabilities were firm initiatives, personal interests, a sense of pride and passion, feelings of excitement, and fun. Product developers experienced sensing during discussions with colleagues and interactions with athletes. They encountered seizing throughout the product development process. Product developers were able to reconfigure when it was within the scope of their responsibilities. Findings provide an updated and more nuanced understanding of apparel product development. Future research could confirm the process model through quantitative analysis, identify product developers' competencies, and explore the perceived role of product developers.

▼ Over the last few decades, the rising concern of environmental protection and consumersâ increasing environmental consciousness have brought fundamental impacts to enterprises in the world. Environmental protection has become one of corporate social responsibilities, and in the meantime, one of the opportunities for profitability. Among all resources in organizations, human resource plays the most important role in keeping corporate competitive advantage. In order to create and maintain corporate competitive advantage, traditional human capital also has to be transformed into green human capital that possesses the ability to develop green
innovation. The purpose of this research is to investigate how green human capital will be influential on the level green
innovation, and how it actually leads to corporate competitive advantage. The study uses in-depth interviews and questionnaires to collect data for the analysis. The results reveal that green human capital strategic value has a positive impact on green
product innovation and green
product innovation has a mediating effect in the relationship between green human capital strategic value and responsiveness. On the other hands, green human capital uniqueness has a positive impact on green process
innovation and green process
innovation plays a mediating effect in the relationship between green human capital uniqueness and cost advantage.

▼ The concept of open innovation has been highly popularized both in academia and industry for the last decade. Various types of firms have been studied from high tech to service. Yet, there has been limited academic review of open innovation as a collective business ecosystem. In particular, little research exists on how a business ecosystem is generated, how it adopts concepts associated with open innovation in its business practice, and what sustains an ecosystem over time. My dissertation demonstrates how one business entity - Chez Panisse - started its business journey and how it practiced what is popularly called open innovation within its community for over 42 years. In order to do so, I closely observed and participated in understanding the California Cuisine ecosystem to collect data. I employed a single-case study method by incorporating in-depth interviews, participatory observation, as well as a thorough collection of publically available data. The research findings indicate that (1) knowledge spillover was a conduit to expand and grow the Chez Panisse ecosystem, (2) co-creation of products and services with ecosystem participants contributed to collective ecosystem innovation, and (3) social innovation and learning were key factors in strengthening the bond among stakeholders and enabled the ecosystem's expansion to the nation, and global level.I introduce the concept of an Open Innovation Ecosystem as a business ecosystem that co-creates innovations with its stakeholders and captures co-created values collectively within the ecosystem. The Chez Panisse case illustrates how what is popularly referred to as open innovation can be practiced at the level of a business ecosystem and become an important factor in its growth and expansion. The research outcomes suggest that business practitioners should consider employing the approaches identified in this thesis if they are interested in designing, creating and growing or maintaining a business ecosystem. These results additionally indicate that participants of the Chez Panisse open innovation ecosystem stayed engaged because of the educational and social innovation aspects; therefore businesses may want to consider the role that education and social innovation can play in sustaining a healthy business ecosystem.

▼ Big, prosperous and outstanding notable corporations regularly rely on work climates that develop and encourage creative comportments and attitudes. Employees are the most important dynamic behind the creative innovation process; therefore, their engagement is seen as the combination of emotive, lucid and social extents of enthusiasm level, commitment, and attachment to their job tasks. Additionally, firms progressively empower their workforces to conduct research and generate creative ideas. The purpose of this research is to recognize drivers’ combinations and mechanisms directing the employee- driven innovation concept. Understanding employee-driven innovation relies on grasping and understanding the connection between employee engagement and innovation or creativeness. Therefore, in the proposed study, understanding each of the concepts is crucial so to recognize and investigate the link between the theories. The first section of the study is related to employee engagement. Many researches have focused on the connection between human resource management (HRM) and organization creativeness and innovation. Scholars have determined that human resource procedures, when applied jointly in a system form (i.e. high-performance work scheme) have a substantial and constructive influence on a firm's creative outcome. The aim of this part is to assess, discuss and examine existing empirical literature while emphasizing the different employee engagement mechanisms, drivers and shaping factors. The second section is related to innovation and creativity. The literature associated with innovation management led to a rising number of diverse and distinctive models of innovation types and processes. This research relies on a 10 type of innovation model proposed by Keeley et al. (2013) in which the innovation dimensions interrelate and interconnect so to create distinctive, and interesting creative approaches. The third section relates to employee-driven innovation. While some scholars argue about the definition, dependencies, and origin of the concept, the authors argue that employee-driven innovation find its source in the combination of a healthy employee engagement structure and a strong desire of the organization to innovate. The research proposes seven key drivers of employee-driven innovation: Managers and leaders attitude, Team culture - spirit and social environment, Work process - resource allocation, Job design, Corporal environment, Employee suitability, and Organizational values; each of these drivers has a certain impact in specific and critical innovation cases. Consequently, the last part of the dissertation is based on four structured case studies, focusing on product performance innovation, that assess all the different concepts already proposed. The authors evaluate the different innovation patterns, the working environment governing the society, the firm and culture at the time of the innovation and the employee innovative process that lead to the materialization of his…

▼ Vrednost je razlika med porabljenimi viri in kakovostjo v smislu zadovoljitve potreb kupcev. Z organizacijskimi in tehničnimi inovacijami podjetja zmanjšajo porabo virov, s produktnimi inovacijami povečajo stopnjo zadovoljitve potreb. Tako z maksimizacijo vrednosti vzpostavljajo in ohranjajo konkurenčnost. Magistrska naloga temelji na slovenskem vzorcu Raziskave o proizvodni dejavnosti (EMS). Raziskovali smo, kako na stopnjo produktnih inovacij v podjetjih vplivajo tehnične in organizacijske inovacije. Na podlagi ugotovitev smo podali smernice za implementacijo v praksi.
Value is the difference between the resources used and the quality in terms of meeting customer needs. With technical and non-technical process innovations, companies reduce the consumption of resources, and with product innovations, they increase the level of satisfaction of needs. In this way, companies establish and sustain competitiveness by maximizing value. We based our master's thesis on the Slovenian sample of the European Manufacturing Survey (EMS) and examined the impact of technical and non-technical process innovation on product innovation. Based on the findings, we provided guidelines for implementation in practice.

▼ With advancement in technology and increased breadth of requirements of customers, organizations have to deliver innovative products in a quick and efficient way to remain competitive. While there are many theories and approaches to
innovation in products, few of them are quantitative in nature. Furthermore, most
product development starts from an existing system. Thus, a starting assumption in this work is that a system architecture and design already exists. The main goals of this research are to develop a framework that identifies
innovation opportunities within an existing
product and to develop a quantitative approach for the identification of those opportunities. In this work, three scenarios are defined that signal the need for
innovation. These scenarios are (1) the detection of a leveling off of the benefit-to-cost ratio of the system over time (i.e. the S-Curve), (2) trade-offs between technical parameters within the
product and (3) a new need for the
product has been identified. Using these indicators as a basis, this thesis focuses on identifying the physical components that are most likely to lead to
innovation. Once the relevant engineering metrics associated with these scenarios are identified, they are deployed through the
product system links. The framework proposed in this thesis leverages the relationships between requirements and
product structure, which are represented as matrices and then singular value decomposition (SVD) and clustering analysis techniques are used to identify patterns within the requirements and the components to focus the
innovation efforts of the
product developers. This framework is applied to a case study to assess the initial feasibility of the approach.
