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.

This study seeks to address various phases, challenges and the principles influencing transforming an idea into a product innovation. This study is particularly relevant in light of the driving role given to small scale enterprises by the supporting policies and practices in the process of transforming India into an innovation-oriented nation and leading ‘Make in India' program. Based on a multi-disciplinary the framework discussed in this study highlights a number of internal processes and external network attributes, their interactions and moderating relationships as related to their impact on Indian small scale enterprises' product innovation capabilities. This study offers an overview of the factors that affect product innovation capabilities, with particular reference to entrepreneurial orientation of Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study showcase provocative views that considers the concept of innovation ecosystem and new product development central to its philosophy and objectives.

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.

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?”

This article aims to develop the entrepreneurial imaginativeness model (creative imaginativeness, social imaginativeness, practical imaginativeness) towards new product development performance with the antecedent of experience intensity. The respondents of this study are the 220 leaders of the Batik Micro Small and Medium Enterprises. The analysis technique in this study uses Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS software. The finding of this study is the main priority of entrepreneurial imaginativeness model development towards new product development performance by increasing creative imaginativeness, with indicators as follows: (1) I consider myself to be inventive; (2) I consider myself to be innovative; (3) I demonstrate originality in my work; and (4) I like to create original work. Creative imaginativeness is developed by experience intensity with the indicators as follows: (1) Business management; (2) Handling consumer complaints; (3) Good relations with outside parties; and (4) Handling dynamics.

Value Added Products

Due to the impact of globalization, the competition between enterprises has become fierce and led the supply chains of many industries to be reorganized. One of the consequences is that the operation of many small and medium enterprises (SMs) had become very difficult. Hence, many of SMEs in Taiwan have gone bankrupt and some of them have moved to other places where they have lower production costs, in order to survive; this not only hollowed out the industries but also disconnected the supply chains in their mother countries. Because Taiwan’s SMEs are generally poor in innovation, this study explored the implementation of the theory of inventive problem-solving (TRIZ) with alignment of new product development (NPD) and supply chain management (SCM) to strengthen the innovation and productivity of new products, so that SMEs can refer to its use to aid sustainable business operation. We considered an SME in Taiwan as a case to study and investigate the strategies that it employed to achieve survival and sustainability. By examining the practical applications of the NPD of the case company, which was based on the TRIZ and NPD SCM alignment, we found that value-added products may be created despite unfavorable industry environments, by implementing and coordinating the TRIZ and three product-related variables, namely innovating, modularity, and variety. This study explored practical alternatives for SMEs to develop various value-added products that meet customers’ changing requirements and succeed in competitive markets to achieve a sustainable business operation. Considering SMEs are crucially important to the economic equality and development of countries and that SMEs may only survive for a short time when operating in changing supply chain environments, this study can be used as a reference for the management of SMEs and future academic research in related fields.
