NPD process in active pharmaceutical ingredients industry: a case study in Iran

“…Consistent with literature based on the Western experience (Bowman and Gatignon, 1996;Chuang et al, 2014;Grabowski, 2006;Gupta and Gupta, 2014;Li and Atuahene-Gima, 2002;Naranjo-Valencia et al, 2011;Perotti and Pray, 2014;Robinson and Min, 2002;Urban et al, 1986) and also the East Asian experience (Zheng Zhou, 2006) this research found that an imitation strategy has a greater impact on new product success in the Iranian API market, compared with an innovation strategy. The research also implies that reverse engineering and imitation forms are critical factors for dealing with the NPD process (Calantone et al, 2010;Grabowski, 2006;Gupta and Gupta, 2014;Jääskeläinen et al, 2013;Mortensen et al, 2008;Nepal et al, 2008;Witell et al, 2014).…”

“…This research on NPD includes findings and insights from marketing (Bendoly et al, 2012;Frambach et al, 1998;Victorino et al, 2005), operational management (Eisingerich et al, 2009;Spohrer and Maglio, 2008), social sciences (Gryszkiewicz et al, 2013;Gupta and Gupta, 2014;Osborne, 1998), entrepreneurship (Hu et al, 2009;Pesämaa et al, 2013;Windrum, 2008) and innovation (Chuang et al, 2014;Jääskeläinen et al, 2013;Perotti and Pray, 2014;Preissl, 2000;Van Riel et al, 2004). Along with the multidisciplinary nature of the field, some researchers believe that the origin of NPD comes from innovation in product (Baines et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2013;Gebauer et al, 2005), while others state that NPD is a development-based concept that includes innovation in process and organisational structure (Camacho and Rodriguez, 2008;Kleinknecht, 2000).…”

From an economics-based perspective, NPD is a crucial concept for companies seeking growth in the market Jääskeläinen et al, 2013;Mortensen et al, 2008;Munk and Mortensen, 2009). It also includes new ways to produce or distribute products to market (Berber et al, 2013;Boonkanit et al, 2010;Shekar, 2011).…”

“…More recent research on NPD emphasises that creation of a new product is based on the technological context that is inherent in the innovation process. As an overview, most scholars share the understanding that the NPD achievement is based upon the value created aligning technology with the knowledge created and shared in the entire market (Gupta and Gupta, 2014;Jääskeläinen et al, 2013;Moorman et al, 1992;Morgan and Hunt, 1994;Urbig et al, 2013).…”
