Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Product Development

International Journal of Product Development (IJPD)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Review of Critical Success Factors and Frameworks of New Product Development Process   Order a copy of this article
    by Balasaheb Shinde, Sudarshan Sanap, Sachin Pawar, Vishnu Wakchaure 
    Abstract: Manufacturing firms emphasize New Product Development (NPD) to remain competitive amid technological advancements and global competition. NPD is complex, influenced by technical, marketing, organizational, commercial, and social factors that converge to decide the success or failure. Researchers have identified the critical success factors (CSF) and proposed various NPD frameworks considering the unique needs. CSFs collaboratively mould and reshape the framework for NPD. Thus, it is important to identify the comprehensive set of CSFs and their relationship with NPD framework. This research conducts a literature review to identify CSFs. The hallmarks of various NPD frameworks are presented and highlights the paradigm shift driven by current technological advancements. Further, identified CSFs are mapped with the phases of NPD framework to help integrate, prioritize, and leverage the CSFs to enhance the likelihood of achieving NPD goals. The highlighted research opportunities may be pursued to develop the improved framework in dynamic environment.
    Keywords: Critical Success Factors (CSF); New Product Development (NPD); New Product Development Framework.

  • Pre-Development of New Products: Case Studies on Practices, Tools, and Framework   Order a copy of this article
    by Jose Toledo, Marcela Costa, Camila Poltronieri, Sanderson César Macêdo Barbalho, Mario Orestes Agui González 
    Abstract: With the uncertainties of the market and technological innovation, the complexity becomes greater in the initial phases of product development. Through case studies, this work makes a comparative analysis between the theory and practice of the pre-development of new products in a sample of large Brazilian companies, in addition to providing a framework that helps in this process. Each company adopts its own model for planning and conducting pre-development activities, which differs from theoretical models. Some activities are common among the models in the literature and the companies surveyed. Some tools adopted to operationalize activities are common in all companies studied, such as benchmarking, brainstorming, and market research. The proposed framework considers aspects such as type of market, company size, degree of product innovation, and structuring of the product development process to define activities and support techniques for pre-development in each case.
    Keywords: Product Pre-Development; Front-End of Innovation; Fuzzy Front-End; Pre-Development Management; Framework.
