The literature emphasizes the great importance of new product development (NPD) for the continuing success of a business. Its contribution to the growth of companies, its influence on profit performance, and its role as a key factor in business planning have been well documented.The competitive environment in which new products are marketed is undergoing fundamental changes. These changes are the key factors driving the NPD activities in service and manufacturing industries. New product development has been an important managerial issue for many firms as the number of new products marketed has grown and product life cycles have shortened. Therefore, the study of NPD and the processes through which they emerge is important.In recent years, much research has been directed towards uncovering the secrets to new product success.Organizations are looking for a steady stream of successful and profitable new products.The challenge is to successfully manage the development of the product from research and development to market launch.
