An analysis of needs assessment and information behaviour in product development based on the fusion model

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan: (1) tes keterampilan olahraga woodball untuk pemula yang valid, (2) mengembangkan tes keterampilan olahraga woodball untuk pemula yang reliabel, dan (3) norma penilaian tes keterampilan olahraga woodball untuk pemula. Penelitian dan pengembangan ini terdiri dari enam langkah kegiatan, yaitu: identifikasi kebutuhan, analisis pengembangan produk, menulis tujuan kinerja, mengembangkan instrumen penilaian, merancang dan mengevaluasi produk, serta merevisi produk. Uji coba penelitian dilakukan di Klub Woodball Buleleng, Bali dan Klub Woodball Jepara, Jawa Tengah berjumlah 37 atlet pemula. Validasi produk didapat dari uji validasi konstruk menggunakan inter-items correlations dan uji validitas kriterium dengan mengorelasikan data hasil tes keterampilan olahraga woodball untuk pemula dengan hasil permainan 12 fairway. Menguji reliabilitas produk menggunakan teknik test-retest. Penelitian ini menghasilkan tes keterampilan olahraga woodball untuk pemula yang: (1) valid dengan koefisien validitas sebesar 0,830; (2) reliabel dengan koefisien reliabilitas sebesar 0,905; dan (3) dilengkapi norma penilaian pengklasifikasian keterampilan atlet pemula.

This study was a research and development consisting of six steps, i.e: needs assessment, analysis of product development, writing performance strategy, developing assessment instruments, designing and evaluating instruction, and revising instruction. Research trials involved 37 beginner athletes from Woodball Club Buleleng, Bali and Woodball Club Jepara, Jawa Tengah. The validity coefficient of the test was obtained from construct validity with inter-item correlations and criterion-related validity by correlating the results of the test and the results of the game of 12 fairways. The reliability testing of the product scores used the test-retest method. The results of this study are the woodball skill test for beginners: (1)it is valid with the validity coefficient of 0.830, (2) it is reliable with the coefficient reliability of 0.905, (3) it is also accompanied with woodball skill categorization for beginner athletes.

Purpose – The purpose of this case study was threefold. First, to examine whether a needs assessment can work in the context of an organization’s new product development process to identify the gap between what “is” occurring and what “should” be occurring. Second, to investigate how a well-known stakeholder classification system can be adopted in a practitioner setting. Third, to identify why the new product development process derailed in a quick-service restaurant chain. Design/methodology/approach – A Fortune 200 quick-service restaurant chain provided the setting for a case study on the new product development (NPD) process. Data were gathered from multiple stakeholder groups using interviews and a survey questionnaire. Findings – Findings support the adaptability of needs assessment as a learning tool to help organizations identify and address performance gaps. A second finding was the applicability of the Mitchell et al. (1997) classification system to identify and prioritize groups of stakeholders. Finally, this study revealed that the specific activities involved in the NPD process were not codified, and that the restaurant chains cross-functional team was not adhering to the process due to a lack of training. Research limitations/implications – The specific setting may limit the generalizability of findings. Future research could determine the applicability in other settings. Practical implications – This study provides useful insights for applying needs assessments in conjunction with a stakeholder analysis when problems arise in the product development process. Originality/value – The study contributes to understanding around product development learning tools and provides impetus for the adoption of needs assessments and stakeholder analysis when deficiencies in the process occur.
