授業の概要

What kind of managerial thinking goes into developing new products and services? How is this thinking affected by supply chains, development teams, and customers that span international boundaries? This upper-level undergraduate class will explore these questions by drawing from a wide range of academic papers and book chapters on New Product Development (NPD). Many of the readings are classic works that have stood the test of time, and a primary focus of the class will be examining approaches to NPD that have been pioneered by Japanese companies.

科目目的

NPD is highly strategic and has been called the engine that drives company growth. This class will explain how managers are able to keep this engine in good working shape. It requires cross-functional cooperation and an ability to manage across corporate and international boundaries. If a company can succeed in NPD, its future will be bright and its stakeholders will reap benefits. Too many NPD failures will doom a company. This class aims to give students insights into the core principles that support successful NPD in an international company.

到達目標

After taking this class students will be able to frame the fundamental issues that affect NPD success and describe the inherent managerial challenges contained within a firm’s NPD processes.

All students are expected to have read the assigned text (for a minimum of one hour) prior to coming to class and be ready to discuss the text's content during class. To facilitate this class discussion, at the beginning of class, some students will come forward to the front of the classroom to propose discussion questions about the assigned text.

Each week, making connections with the content of prior class readings will be an important focus of class discussion. So, students need to review on a regular basis the content of the course from the first class until the last class.
