Managing new product development is a key area of management,
straddling strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship and
macro-organizational behaviour.
All of the contributorsin the Handbook of New Product
Developmentare are well-known and leading exponents to theory of
New Product Development and to methods used in practice. They draw
upon their experience and work to offer a comprehensive view of the
challenges in managing the development of new products. Existing
knowledge in the different topics is examined and the key
management challenges, and the important gaps in our knowledge are
discussed. Most of the chapters draw upon systematic interaction
with companies and practice and this is presented in the examples
and the case studies cited.
The Handbook of New Product Development and Management surveys this
area in the context of an overall framework that explains how
aspects interact and combine in a successful NPD process. Each
chapter outlines open questions and highlights needs for future
research.
*A comprehensive view of the challenges in managing the development
of new products from well-known and leading contributors in the
field

which is valuable to both the academic/practitioner
Since 1960, two-thirds of very large governmental projects in
Nigeria have not only failed, but been abandoned mid-course. This
presents a bigger failure rate than mega projects elsewhere, and
yet there is no available data or analysis to help us understand
the reasons behind such failures. This book provides an
authoritative examination into why very large projects in Nigeria
have failed so badly, and provides practical recommendations on how
the Nigerian government can improve its project performance.
Drawing on data from 38 very large projects (19 completed and 19
abandoned) with a total budget of over $25B, this book presents
detailed analysis of these projects and in-depth case studies 11 of
the projects, and presents lessons for improvement. Through this,
the authors have identified a small number of key success drivers,
and argue that making moderate improvements on any of them would,
on average, save hundreds of millions of dollars on one large
project alone. This book is a game-changer in the management of
government mega projects in Nigeria. With clear implications for
other developing economies, this is a vital resource for project
management practitioners, executives and civil servants. This is an
open access book.
