Unit description
In dynamic business environments, where customers’ needs change rapidly and competition is intense, developing and launching new products and services that create and maintain a superior market position for a firm is a key success factor. Developing and launching new products addresses the commercialisation process within firms. Despite the significant investment in screening and developing new products and services, statistics reflect continuing high new product/service failure rates worldwide. This highlights the need for managing the commercialisation process of new products and services effectively. The focus of this unit is on developing students’ knowledge of new product and service commercialisation. In this unit, students will develop skills to create new product and service concepts and analyse factors that impact commercialisation decisions and outcomes. The unit will also focus on developing students’ capacity to formulate and apply commercialisation strategies for new products and/or services. |
