The period between the design of a product and the moment from which the product is no longer profitable on the market represents its life cycle. Decreasing the profitability of the product on the market means that the company must find solutions to launch a new product. The new products can be assimilated in the manufacture by own conception at the level of the enterprise, on the basis of the purchased manufacturing licenses and on the basis of the reference models of a similar product existing on the market. The paper presents the methodology for choosing the optimal technological variant for a part manufactured by 3D printing using two technological variants, through the criterion of unit technological cost and the criterion of total technological cost. Depending on the relationship between the size of the manufacturing batch and the calculated critical size of the manufacturing batch, respectively between the unit technological cost and the total technological cost for the two technological variants, the optimal technological variant of manufacturing can be established.

The sensitive nature of pharmaceuticals and the high cost of research and commercialization to introduce new products have led to numerous regulations intended to ensure the availability of safe and effective drug products. An unintended result has been to increase the cost of product introductions into various markets. The authors empirically test the relationship among the types of regulation, pharmaceutical product introductions, and the timing of their entry into the six largest country markets from 1970 to 1989. Surprisingly, the findings show that the type of regulation affects timing more than the number of new product introductions. The authors address the drug lag across the largest country markets on a product level over a period of 20 years. They discuss important potential implications for public policy and society.

A two-category typology of new consumer products was used to investigate the relationship between consumer personality characteristics and acceptance of new products. It was found that the influence of a consumer's dogmatism upon his acceptance of new products was mediated by the type of new product presented.

The purpose of this paper is to examine and test the mediator of customer interaction capabilities in relationship with quality market intelligence (MIQ) and customer centric commitment (CCC) with the new products performance (NPP). This paper chooses 184 micro retail fashions and examines the relationship of MIQ, CCC with CIC and NPP. The findings indicate that MIQ only affects the NPP, while the CCC is not. Nonetheless, CIC actually mediate the relationship between MIQ and CCC with NPP. By examining the diverse learning literature market, CRM, NPD and entrepreneurship, this paper offers a unique analysis on the quality of market intelligence and customer centric commitment and their impact on customer interaction capability and performance of new products. Conceptual and empirical discussion results to extend previous research on market orientation culture on SMEs.

The wave of Covid-19 has forced the industry to transform so that the products produced can remain competitive in the market. Old products in the period before Covid-19 certainly no longer have the same competitive performance as today, so the industry is required to be able to develop new product innovations that can excel in the market. To be able to produce innovative new products, the industry requires sufficient knowledge. The ability of industries to be able to acquire and implement knowledge is called absorptive capacity. In various previous studies, absorptive capacity has four aspects including acquisition capacity, assimilation capacity, transformation capacity and exploitation capacity. In this article the conceptual framework for the relationship between aspects of absorptive capacity and the performance of new products is presented. We hypothesize that there are interesting correlations between aspects of absorptive capacity and new product development performance.

Scholars have not yet established how power distance belief (PDB) influences consumers’ new product acceptance. We examined the relationship between PDB and new product acceptance (i.e., consumers’ preference and attitude), along with the moderating roles of life satisfaction and social demonstrance, and the mediating role of need to belong. Through three studies, our findings show that when life satisfaction was low, consumers with low (vs. high) PDB had a more favorable attitude toward the new products and showed a stronger preference for them. Further, need to belong was a principal mechanism inducing the influence of PDB and life satisfaction on new product acceptance, with the interaction effect being stronger among consumers with high (vs. low) social demonstrance. Our investigation makes important theoretical contributions by expanding the PDB literature, and also has practical implications for marketers in their promotion of new product acceptance. For example, marketers could sell new products in cultures with low PDB or use advertisements to remind consumers of the importance of equality. This will help to prime consumers with low PDB when their life satisfaction is low, thereby enhancing their attitude toward new products

This article explores the relationship between 18 variables and a supermarket buyer's decision to accept or reject a new product. One hundred twenty-four new products are analyzed by multiple discriminant analysis and a hierarchical threshold model termed a “gatekeeper” analysis. A new method of discriminant validation in small samples is also proposed.

This article describes the problem of the task of finding and developing a new product in the conditions of a machine-building enterprise, as well as the vision of solving this problem (organization of works on search of ideas and development of a new product within the life cycle of the product at the machine-building plant named after M.I. Kinin). The picture of the task as a whole - on creation of an effective system of product support according to the life cycle is described. Technical and project processes are also considered as they are seen for implementation according to GOST 15288. Keywords: product life cycle, requirements engineering, requirements verification, competence, production.

In this global marketplace, as products supply grow, product life cycles are shortened and consumer loyalty is declining. It is more important than ever for companies to bring new products to market in less time and periodically. This article examines the Lithuanian cosmetics industry and what difficulties a company face when introducing a new product to the market. The cosmetics industry in Lithuania is reviewed and the product development process is analyzed. Identify the factors of a successful product and the relationship between them. The paper presents the results of the surveyed companies involved in the development of cosmetics industry products. The reasons and key factors influencing product success are identified. Based on the results of the study, a model for the development of new products for the cosmetics industry is presented and conclusions and suggestions are presented.

Purpose Researchers agree that collaboration networks can be an important implement in a firm’s innovation process, but there is limited empirical evidence on actually how they facilitate the new product development (NPD). The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Using longitudinal and multisource data on a sample of firms engaged in the Chinese automobile industry, the authors examine the structural properties of collaboration networks and their possible influences on firms’ NPD performance. Findings The results indicate that the structural features of the technology-based collaboration networks in the automobile industry have a low degree of collaborative integration and they influence firms’ NPD performance in diverse ways. The authors find that the direct ties, indirect ties and structural holes of the collaboration networks are all positively associated with firms’ number of new products. However, the authors have not found the evidence that the number of direct ties can moderate the relationship between the indirect ties and the NPD performance. Originality/value First, previous researches concerning the network mainly focused on their influence on technology innovation, few scholars studied the relationship between collaboration network and NPD. Second, the data used in this paper are true and valid, they are all from relevant departments of the Chinese government. Third, the empirical research of new products in China’s manufacturing industry is relatively new.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap in understanding the effects of external involvement on new product market performance. Particularly, the authors investigate the mediating effects of speed-to-market of new products and moderating effects of information technology (IT) implementation. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on the high-performance manufacturing (HPM) project database collected from 366 manufacturing plants in ten countries and three representative industries. The hierarchical regression analysis is employed to explore the relationships in the model. Findings The empirical findings indicate that speed-to-market of new products positively and significantly mediates the relationship between customer involvement and new product market performance. The results also demonstrate that IT implementation moderates the relationship between external involvement and speed-to-market of new products. More importantly, the findings reveal that supplier involvement is less likely to lead to the enhancement of speed-to-market if the firm is not able to establish a higher level of IT implementation. Practical implications This analysis uncovers the way of how customer and supplier involvement are related to new product market performance, and highlights the importance of IT implementation in absorbing and exploiting external resources. Originality/value This paper moves us from a simplistic understanding of external involvement to a more nuanced and complex model which is closer to reality. The obtained findings highlight the importance for manufacturers to establish speed advantage of new products and implement IT as an enabler.
