“…In this sense, the investigation in the industrial field suffers from one of the limitations identified by Graner and Mißler-Behr (2012) with respect to studies about NPD methods. The authors have already clarified (Sects.…”

“…In-depth studies of industrial practices and questionnaires surveying the diffusion of academic methods are the most diffused means to investigate the implementation of formal NPD techniques. Graner and Mißler-Behr (2012) have recently conducted a critical analysis of the studies published in authoritative design journals and aimed at evaluating the degree to which proposed NPD methodologies are employed in industrial environments. The survey emphasizes the descriptive approach of most of the treated papers, which follows the varying quantity of investigated enterprises.…”

“…With regard to these samples, it is claimed that the heterogeneity of the methods populating such sets represents a considerable limitation to the creation of specific knowledge in the field. Therefore, still with reference to Graner and Mißler-Behr (2012), it is recommended to adopt a systematic approach in selecting the methods subjected to investigation. Besides, Blessing and Seering (2016) point out how successful applications of design research refer to specific NPD tasks.…”

Product Planning techniques: investigating the differences between research trajectories and industry expectations

According to several literature sources, Product Planning is acknowledged as a primary driver of future commercial success for new designed products, and it is schematically constituted by the identification of business opportunities and the selection of most promising alternatives. Despite the recalled relevance of Product Planning, it emerges that a marginal quantity of companies have adopted formal methods to carry out this task. The paper attempts to provide a major understanding about such a limited implementation of Product Planning techniques and other open issues emerging from the analysis of the literature concerning the initial phases of engineering design cycles. The presented study investigates the claimed benefits of methods described in the literature, the level to which such tools are diffused through educational programs in Technical Institutes, the expectations and the demands of a sample of enterprises with respect to new tools supporting Product Planning. It emerges that, whereas existing methods strive to fulfil relevant properties according to the perception of the companies, limitations come out in terms of the transfer of the proposed techniques and their perceived reliability.

“…Presentation of the review/synthesis of knowledge: In this step -described in the next chapter of this work -the main results of the research are presented, summarizing the studied papers and explaining possible relationships between them. In addition, gaps of research were identified as well as proposals for future work (see for example Graner & Mißler-Behr, 2012), aiming to meet the goal set for this research.…”

RAI Revista de Administração e Inovação (2016), http://dx. AbstractEffective use of methods, techniques and tools for innovation (MTT-I) has been considered an important factor for successful innovation management. However, studies related to the topic are still scarce, especially those using the quantitative empirical approach for research. Thereby, with the analysis of quantitative empirical papers related to diffusion and adoption of methods, techniques and tools for innovation, we intend to present a portrait of the empirical research on the topic. The analyzed papers were obtained through a systematic survey on two databases: Scopus and Web of Science. It resulted on a corpus of 18 publications, from which main papers, authors, countries and journals that most published about the theme and the most common keywords were identified. Later, the analysis of papers generated an overview of quantitative empirical research related to the topic and indicated areas for further study, contributing to the development of the subject. The study identified the scarcity of research related to the theme of diffusion and adoption of MTT-I and the concentration of quantitative empirical researches in product development, rather than in other results of innovation, such as services and processes. Methodological variations between studies were also identified, making it impossible to compare different contexts. This paper concludes displaying important points for further development of the field.

“…Lakemond et al (2010) emphasize the importance of looking at both motors and obstacles to creativity that lead to innovation. A recent literature review by Graner and MiBler-Behr (2012) on new product development underscores success factors for such projects: a defined new product development process, top management support for the development project, crossfunctional integration and collaboration during the development process, user integration in new product development/open innovation, short time to market/duration of the new product development project, and strong project management. They also examined a total of 516 new product development methods, broken down into six categories: customer integration or market research methods, research and development methods, methods focused on quality and logistics, methods focused on purchasing, project management methods, and shared methods.…”
