New Product and New Service Development

Aннотация:
This course is designed to provide you with an awareness of the issues involved in new product and new service development and a basic understanding of selected processes and tools available for dealing with these issues. The course is intended to serve students who anticipate careers or participation in product management/product planning or who expect to be involved in the development of new products (goods and services). New product development is increasingly viewed as a complex interdisciplinary process requiring inputs throughout from the finance, production and engineering functions of the business as well as marketing and R&D. As such it could have relevance to students focusing on non-marketing disciplines. Given the complexity of the new product and service creation process, extensive integrative thinking is called for in this course. Accordingly, it is positioned as an advanced level course.
