This article aims at examining further the importance of productivity and effectiveness of product development in textile industry and textile products (TPT industry) in Central Java. The productivity analysis method uses the American Productivity Center (APC) model and the Mundel model. The method of analyzing the measurement of the effectiveness of new product development uses New Product Index (NPI), Feature Function Index (FFI), and Time to Market Index (TMI). Data input is used for the purposes of this analysis, especially input of labors, capital, materials and energy, and data output of production of the TPT industry studied. The result of research shows that based on productivity analysis both with APC and Mundel methods, the productivity decreased except only in the Capital input variable which productivity level did not decrease. Based on the Mundel model, in more detail the decrease in productivity levels occurs in workers > + 1 Foreman, sales worker, production worker, and manager worker. Furthermore, the new product development is also not effective yet, and the best strategy to be chosen in developing new products in new markets is diversification strategy. The implication of this research is that the TPT Industry in Central Java still has to continuously improve its productivity and improve the development of new products effectively using diversification strategy.This article aims at examining further the importance of productivity and effectiveness of product development in textile industry and textile products (TPT industry) in Central Java.

Npd Performance

Abstract New product development (NPD) performance is a key determinant of a new venture’s success. However, compared with established firms, new ventures often suffer from resource constraints when developing new products. Entrepreneurial bricolage is reported in the literature as an alternative strategic option that enables managers to overcome resource constraints when developing new products. However, because new ventures are often founded by an entrepreneurial team, the effectiveness and efficiency of using bricolage to improve NPD performance might be contingent on how the founding team plays its roles in this process. Using data from 323 new ventures in China, we find support for the critical role of entrepreneurial bricolage in improving NPD success under resource constraints. More importantly, our results reveal that the bricolage strategy is more likely to benefit a venture when the founding team is composed of members with diverse functional backgrounds and is not heavily involved in strategic decision-making.

Npd Performance

New Product Development (NPD) is vital in assisting Research and Development (R&D) based organizations to adapt to the changes in markets and technology for competitive advantage. Ensuring the success of new products and optimization of new product performance is critical and essential for Research and Development based organizations.  Hence, this study is carried out to explore does organizational background in term of company’s ownership (i.e. local or multinational companies) and operational scales (i.e. number of Research and Development staffs) affect NPD performance of Research and Development companies in Malaysia. In line with this, 8 New Product Development performance attributes were identified from literature review. These attributes were subsequently formulated into a survey questionnaire and responded by 186 respondents. Thereafter, the effect of organizational ownership and operational scale toward NPD performance are examined separately via Independent Sample t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Finding from the study revealed that the level of NPD performance in multinational R&D companies is higher than local R&D companies. Findings from this research also implied that NPD performance can be further improved by increasing number of R&D staffs.

Metaphors have successfully been used by new product development and design teams to help frame the design situation and communicate new products to stakeholders. Yet, the process of finding a compelling metaphor often turns upon stumbling upon it or a flash of insight from a team member. We present Meta4acle: a Metaphor Exploration Tool for design that suggests possible metaphors to make the process more one of ‘seeking out’ than ‘stumbling upon’ an effective metaphor. The tool takes data about the project in the form of a title, domain and key associations required of the metaphor and returns suggestions from a database of possible metaphor sources. We built a Meta4acle prototype and evaluated it with positive results for three existing design case studies. We present plans for its full implementation and evaluation.

The Impact

Successful information management is big challenge for any organization. In this paper the emphasis is on information management in new product development in bank. Under strong pressure from competition and new technological changes, as well as the turbulent changes in the environment, financial institutions must continuously develop new products and services. In order to make the services more interesting to the users, it is necessary to collect data about the users, their wishes and preferences. The data should then be converted into useful information that will result with developing the right product or service that users will recognize as necessary. Products become personalized, user-friendly, and the emphasis is on the importance of long-term company relationships with customers. Only with well-organized information, managers can make the right business decisions and companies can react in time to market changes. When creating their strategy, successful companies analyze and identify elements that significantly contribute to creating a competitive advantage and ensuring long-term growth and development. The paper presents an empirical research of customer preferences which lead to new product development in bank.

Hypotheses derived from a resource-based model of new product development were used to predict five-year later commercial success in the form of profitability and speed to market for a sample of 117 new products from four firms in different industries. The results found marketing capabilities to be the best predictor of profitability, and that technical capabilities and leadership capabilities were also significant predictors. Leadership capabilities were the only significant predictor of which products made it to market, and of speed to market. Implications for models of new product development and for its effective management are discussed.

This study emphasis on the physico-chemical properties of a new ber variety (Apple ber) originated in Thailand and slowly emerging in many parts of the world. The analysis is done under two different conditions the one being controlled and second one is blanched. The analysis revealed that the controlled condition is superior in physico-chemical properties than the blanched one. Also, proximate analysis was carried out on the fruit and its powdered form. In this analysis also controlled condition parameters were ahead of blanched. New products were developed with the Apple ber powder.

Technology Industry

The technology industry is dominated by major international companies, but there are also many SMEs, SBEs, and micro-companies operating effectively in this industry sector. Maintaining innovation is a key challenge, especially for the small players in this market, and technology transfer to develop new products and services is particularly challenging. This chapter examines four technology transfer projects in small software companies, three of which focused on new product development, and the fourth on a new service provision. All four projects were generally well managed, but effecting this degree of change requires more than good management, especially in such small companies. It is not surprising that some of these projects failed to achieve their objectives in the mid-term.
