Tiivistelmä:How do firms' new product development (NPD) process designs (hereafter as: p-d./p-ds.) differ when responding to an innovation mandate? How do NPD design elements differ across firms when implementing NPD processes? This paper explores e.g. these questions through a collective case study of newly implemented NPD p-ds. at three different strategic business units (SBUs) of a major U.S. based international conglomerate, one year after receiving the mandate to grow through innovation. The paper's analysis suggests that industry competitiveness and firm characteristics influence the NPD p-d. as SBUs employ distinct combinations of NPD design elements. The differential emphasis on design elements leads to variation in p-d. and divergence in innovation productivity.
