Firms are paying more attention to the development of new products and services to enhance their market position. Commercialising innovative products and services on a timely basis is a key to not only profit but in some industries, survival. However, despite the significant investment in screening and developing new products and services, statistics reflect continuing high failure rates. This underscores the need for better management of new product and service commercialisation.
This subject will develop your knowledge of how new product and new service development creates value for a firm and its stakeholders. It will focus on new product and service commercialisation from a strategic perspective, emphasising the development of knowledge of the strategic foundations for new product and service development. These foundations comprise the sources for product and service innovation, the timing of market entry, competition and product market issues, market adoption, developing new service bundles, and strategies for marketing new products and services.
