“…The collection of consumer data helps to improve the consumer experience of products and services connected to IoT. Through this technology, it is possible to analyze information from internal and external stakeholders to the organization (Kroh et al, 2018;Nikabadi & Sepehrnia, 2019). In this aspect, the use of this technology to monitor patients in real-time and generate more efficient diagnoses stands out.…”

“…The development of new products is important to maintain an organization's competitiveness in the long term and for a successful launch, it is essential to capture and understand market demands (Nikabadi & Sepehrnia, 2019; Yerpude & Singhal, 2019). Companies that can develop a product aligned with consumer expectations, and with agility, can create a competitive advantage (Yerpude & Singhal, 2018).…”

“…As opportunities are generated and identified, it is necessary to evaluate all of them to select the most valuable ones, which will be developed and tested to assess their viability for the organization (Ulrich & Eppinger, 2012). Firms that can identify opportunities from multiple sources can increase the possibility of generating quality knowledge that will create successful products for the market (Nikabadi & Sepehrnia, 2019; Ulrich & Eppinger, 2012).…”

“…New product development processes require efficient integration between multiple organizations' activities to facilitate the exchange of knowledge (Nikabadi & Sepehrnia, 2019). New technologies can help professionals who develop new products in the process of integrating the wide variety of information collected by the organization, therefore, the adoption of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) can assist in increasing productivity and support in the phases of the NPD process (Ibrahim & Obal, 2020; Nikabadi & Sepehrnia, 2019).…”

“…The use of technologies by these professionals can improve the effectiveness of NPD processes, assist in identifying opportunities from different sources, and increase the productivity and efficiency of such processes (Ibrahim & Obal, 2020; Mauerhoefer, Strese, & Brettel, 2017; Nikabadi & Sepehrnia, 2019). These technologies can favor the development of successful products for the market and make NPD processes more effective (Barczak, Sultan, & Hultink, 2007; Durmuşoğlu & Barczak, 2011; Mauerhoefer et al ., 2017).…”

PurposeThe Internet of Things (IoT) real-time data collection can help to more efficiently optimize and control companies' internal processes. Prior research analyzed IoT benefits and potential applications. Nevertheless, there is little empirical evidence and theoretical understanding of how IoT impacts new product development (NPD). This article aims at narrowing this gap.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 54 case studies were selected from an IoT database – IoT ONE. IoT ONE has a section on NPD. NPD was divided into three phases: discovery, development and commercialization. The adopted IoT technology maturity level was also analyzed. A content analysis was carried out to identify the impacts of IoT in NPD.FindingsThis study’s findings capture the emerging patterns of IoT adoption and its impact on NPD. Of the total, 33 IoT adoption cases in the sample were in the machinery and equipment sector. Adopted technologies were at least two years old in 85% of the sample. Only 15% adopted cutting edge technologies (less than 2 years old). Key actors (e.g. vendors) facilitate IoT adoption. By a small margin, the larger impacts of IoT were in the commercialization phase, where it was primarily applied to improve and optimize production processes, to better execute and synchronize new products launching, and to increase the factories' productive capacity. In the discovery phase, IoT was mainly used to identify new opportunities in the market and to collect customer data, to generate a better customer experience. In the development phase, IoT allows greater integration across departments, increasing internal collaboration and allowing more flexible NPD.Originality/valueMany articles studied the impact of information technologies in NPD. Few address the impact of IoT in NPD. IT tells about the impact of better communications with relevant people. IoT tells about machine acquired information and knowledge. This is new, much broader and deals with quite different impacts on NPD.
