New Product Development Practice of Microsoft

 

Length: 3000 words

 

Task

 

New product development is one of the riskiest, yet most important activities that a company can undertake. For this reason, there is significant interest and research on how companies can improve their chances of success in NPD.

 

* Critically evaluate the new product development practice of Microsoft. Choose a product you are aware of that has been a success or a failure and use secondary research to provide necessary information.

 

* Develop a framework with which to analyse Microsoft in detail by drawing on the literature studied on the new product development models and factors for success in NPD.

 

* Make your own observations if necessary to further develop your understanding of Microsoft’s NPD practices and providing multiple perspectives on key issues and concerns.

 

* Give a detailed analysis of the organisation’s new product development practice and make recommendations for potential improvements in this practice.

 

* In the final 500 words of this assignment, reflect on how your understanding of NPD has been enhanced by your experience in completing this task. This should be a personal reflection including such aspects as, for example, whether this has changed your views about what is important in NPD, whether you have a greater understanding of diversity of opinions in the organisation, whether you understand this organisation’s NPD processes differently as a result of undertaking this work or any personal impact doing this assignment has had on you.
