Medium Enterprises

New product development (NPD) is essential for large, as well as small and medium, enterprises (SMEs). Despite its importance for the economy, challenges remain in the NPD in SMEs. Product success is related with the NPD process, so it is important for SMEs to be able to design their NPD process. This paper aims to identify SME’s NPD research topics, the characteristics of the NPD process in SMEs, and important aspects to be considered for NPD process design. The literature review is done with the analysis of 99 selected academic articles from Scopus and ScienceDirect. Content analysis, bibliographic analysis, and clustering method (based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient) are used to conduct the identification. Less-formal processes, informal strategic planning, limited resources, need technology support, and lack of capabilities in certain fields are some of the characteristics of SME’s NPD. Collaborative product development, competitive advantage, information and communication technology (ICT), concurrent engineering, quality function deployment, and continuous improvement are important keywords based on previous research in SME’s NPD. Design activities in NPD, collaboration and source of innovation, and process modelling, tools, and techniques appear to be important aspects related with the SME’s NPD process.

This study describes the results of an empirical research on a sample of small and medium enterprises belonging to one of Italy's most important local manufacturing systems: the eyewear district. The main objective of the project was to suggest ways of improving new product development within the small and medium enterprises of the district. Data were collected from five buyer firms and 49 subcontractors, and experts of the local system were interviewed in order to acquire information on the product development process. The study: highlights the distinctive aspects of eyewear products and the consequent design and manufacturing specificity; maps the product development activity; identifies difficulties and problems SMEs usually encounter in these activities; and suggests how improvements can be made.

Domestic Appliances

Our paper analyzes close collaboration between a manufacturer of domestic appliances and consumer electronics and its customers. It reflects on the inclusion of open innovation by users that is presented in the paper on the case of the development of the refrigerator door handle, with an emphasis on design and functionality. The main research question we wanted to answer was whether a buyer (customer/consumer) might actively participate in the process of a new product development. It was interesting to test it in a highly dynamic industry setup since white goods are becoming an integral part of consumers’ life style and not just a mere home appliances used for routine housekeeping tasks. Research sample includes 146 respondents. We applied the conjoint analysis and quality function deployment (QFD) in order to test and understand how customers perceive the different attributes of a new product development process.

New Product Development Process

The New Product Development Process (NDP) is noticed as a critical factor to maintain the competitiveness in organizations. New products allow us to focus on taking a competitive position. Also, the first and most important reason for any new product development is to provide new value to the customer. In this sense, the Requirements Engineering (RE) approach plays a vital role within the New Product Development Process (NDP) lifecycle, once the product performance and its acceptability on the market depend on how RE is integrated into the product development. In this way, this paper aims to identify the proposed solutions and trends regarding RE, through a literature review based on studies produced in the last five years. Hence, the existing gaps in the literature about this theme are presented and analyzed. In order to achieve these objectives, the present study was based on ProKnow-C process (Knowledge Development Process — Constructivist).

The reasons for this exploratory investigation are to give a comprehension of the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the new product development (NPD) procedure of SMEs in Vietnam and make a comparison between the NPD process and a particular case from the personal interview. The goal is to explore whether particular industries fully follow the NPD process or not. Firstly, discover the meaning of family business and SMEs; secondly, the NPD procedure; thirdly, using the NPD in the particular setting of SMEs (comparison). In addition, there are two questions, which are “How do small and medium-sized businesses conduct NPD activities?”, and “Which are the enabling factors and the constraining factors for NPD?”
