Survey Responses

Despite the importance of constant product improvement to becoming a sustainable organization, the relationship between different types of innovation and new product development has received little attention. This article contributes to prior research by proposing a necessary condition for successful product development, which increases organizational sustainability. While it has been widely argued that technological innovation is an important factor for new product development, we contribute by illustrating the importance of process and administrative innovation, which changes an organization’s way of doing business. By analyzing survey responses from 2127 Korean firms, we empirically demonstrate that process and administrative innovation increase the likelihood of achieving new product development goals. Our findings also show that innovation-supporting human resource practices such as talent development programs and work autonomy increase the effectiveness of process and administrative innovations. Overall, we suggest that organizations are able to achieve a sustainable presence in the product market when they constantly innovate the way they run themselves. Additionally, in order to manage such innovation, organizations should nurture a creative environment by devising effective, innovation-supporting human resource practices.

And Performance

Most technology-based product development programs are becoming more complex and difficult to manage. New technologies, increasingly knowledgeable customers, partnered development projects, differentiated global markets, and more sophisticated product development practices make corporate innovation initiatives especially challenging. The factors that make new product development (NPD) projects complex can impact both NPD processes and performance. Unfortunately, the relationships between complexity and NPD processes and performance are not well-understood. Our study is based on 32 in-depth field interviews with NPD project participants regarding their experiences dealing with complexity. Our interviews were specifically aimed at understanding the consequences to NPD projects when complexity issues arise; whether complexity affects interpersonal relationships within development teams; and what complexity issues, if any, are created when development teams work with alliances and partners. Our research also seeks to understand if significant competitive advantages can be attained by firms from their ability to effectively manage complex new products. After presenting our findings, we construct a comprehensive model to help explain complexity and its potential impacts on NPD. We then develop several implications for product development managers and their teams regarding how to manage complexity. We posit that for technology-based organizations, "managing development complexity", is a critical core competency. We conclude our work with suggestions for future research.

Supplier Integration

In new product development (NPD) firms increasingly have to rely on external expertise from suppliers. However, results of early supplier integration have been found to be ambiguous. This research empirically tests the hypothesis that the participation of professional purchasing agents early on in the supplier integration process plays a decisive role to distinguish successful projects. Our sample gave evidence that early supply management integration positively moderated supplier involvement’s effect on firm success. Hence, firms may benefit from avoiding supplier integration without professional purchasing management. Still, in many firms the procurement department is not yet integrated in NPD processes early on. Our research identifies four measures those firms applied, in which purchasing got fully embedded in the innovation process: top-management support, structural differentiation, explicit processes, and a collaborative corporate culture. This finding can serve as blue print for implementing purchasing integration and therewith improve the success of supplier integration in NPD.

Core Concepts

Buying companies increasingly need suppliers that significantly contributes to their innovation and capability resources. Customer attractiveness and the strategic fit with a supplier are likely to play an important role in new product development projects. However, no research has addressed and simultaneously investigated the interplay of strategic fit, customer attractiveness, and supplier’s contribution to buyer’s innovativeness. This study fills these gaps by carrying out a quantitative survey study among 81 members of the branch organization for the Dutch metal industry. The findings largely confirm the positive relations between the core concepts of this study. The results suggest that purchasing professionals should invest in customer attractiveness, rather than forcing business partners into coercive supplier development programs.

A growing body of research is concerned with how family governance influences innovation. Yet the organizational issues that family governance engenders for innovation processes have been largely overlooked. In a study of six small- and medium-size family enterprises, we investigate the design decisions that fit family and business logics to create high-performing new product development programs. Our results reveal three design principles concerning teams, leadership, and incentives that diverge from customary approaches of organizing for new product development, adding important dimensions to the determinants of successful new product development in small- and medium-size family enterprises.
