This study examines the mediating effect of product innovation on the relationship between product development strategy implementation and product development performance of business ventures. The previous researches on product development has mainly focused on the role of venture firms' technological capabilities or that of entrepreneurship in product development. Although there are many important discussions related to the product development of business venture, a more discussion on the relationship between product development strategy implementation and performance of product development is needed. The purpose of current study is to examine the relationship between the entrepreneurial orientation and the R&D department on product development performance. To confirm the model of Day & Wensley(1988) that product novelty mediates the relationship between product development strategy and product development performance. The research results of 703 Korean business ventures suggest that the implementation strategies for product development such as utilizing entrepreneurial orientation and R&D department are more effective for business ventures in terms of product development performance. Also product novelty was prove to be a mediator that intervene the relationships between implementation of product development strategy and product development performance. Those findings may provide implications for whom has interested in the relationship between entrepreneurship and product development performance of business ventures. The differences in between new and existing product performance from the implementation strategy of product development may provide implications for practitioners who understand the process of product development.

R&D projects for product development are crucial for ventures' growth and success. Current study summarizes existing studies that identify the relationship between startup ventures' R&D department, R&D investment, and R&D cooperation on product development performance, and highlights the effects of business model as well as the roles of R&D activities for product development project that have been traditionally emphasized. In order to consider the effects of business models that were not previously available, the effects of these factors on product development performance were comprehensively analyzed. The research results with 180 venture cases surveyed on venture companies in the growth stage in Korea, showed that the effect of product development project activities measured by R&D department, R&D investment and R&D cooperation on product development performance is not evident. However, the effect of business model on product development time and product development performance measured by product innovation was confirmed. In particular, it was found that the clarity and uniqueness of the business model interacted with the R&D investment to shorten the product development time and directly increase the innovativeness of the developed product. Based on these analysis results, the implications of this study, limitations of the study, and the future research directions were described.

The aim of the study is to look at the impact of 'NPD process planning proficiency' on NPD performance. In particular, the current study examines this effect at firm's level (NPD program), rather than at the level of individual project. This study investigate the impact of process planning proficiency considering other NPD proficiencies (i.e. marketing and technical proficiency). In addition to the main effect of process planning proficiency, the current study investigates the interaction effect between process planning proficiency and marketing proficiency (or technical proficiency). Based on a cross-industry sample of 103 Korean manufacturers, this study examines the impact of NPD process planning proficiency on product family performance. The current study focuses on platform projects which play a critical role on product family's successes. NPD process planning proficiency has significant impact on both NPD technical and commercial performance. Technical proficiency is not directly associated with NPD performance.

최근 제품에 있어서 가치는 기능성을 제공하는 측면에서 점차 사용성과 감성을 중요시하는 방향으로 변화하고 있다. 최근의 혁신적인 제품을 보면 사용성과 감성적인 가치가 기술개발의 방향성까지 결정하는 등 제품개발에 있어서 감성과 사용성 가치의 중요성은 더 더욱 커지고 있다. 또한 감성과, 사용성에 대한 정확한 예측은 제품의 개발 방향뿐만 아니라, R&D의 방향성을 결정짓기 때문에 이와 같은 Value를 표현할 수 있는 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 모델의 중요성 갈수록 높아지고 있다. 하지만 제품개발에 있어서 감성과 사용성으로 대변되는 User Experience 가치 제공은 기능성, 신뢰성 등의 기존가치와는 달리 소비자, 사용자로 대변되는 Human에 대한 더 높은 이해가 필수적이나, 관련 지식의 부족 및 통계적 정량화, 객관화 어려움 등으로 제품의 가치로 연결시키기에는 많은 어려움이 있는게 사실이다. 본 논문에서는 감성과 사용성 등을 고려한 제품 가치 체계(Product Value Structure)에 대해서 살펴보고, 아울러 이러한 가치를 고려한 제품개발 패러다임의 변화에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 기존의 감성 사용성에 대한 방법론에 널리 활용되는 통계적 귀납적 방법론 외에 인지과학(Coginition Technology)을 활용하여 연역적 방법론에 대해서도 고민해보고자 한다. 특히 Iphone의 UI 특성을 통해 Innovation Company가 인지과학적인 Approach를 어떻게 제품개발에 적용하고 있는지에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

Product line analysis is an activity for analyzing requirements, their relationships, and constraints in a product line before engineering product line assets (e.g., architectures and components). A feature-oriented commonality and variability analysis (called feature modeling) has been considered an essential part of product line analysis. Commonality and variability analysis, although critical, is not sufficient to develop reusable and adaptable product line assets. Dependencies among features and feature binding time also have significant influences on the design of product line assets. In this paper. we propose a feature-oriented product line analysis model that extends the existing feature model in terms of three aspects (i.e., feature commonality and variability, feature dependency, and feature binding time). To validate the consistency among the three aspects we formally define the feature-oriented product line analysis model and provide rules for checking consistency.

기업의 사활은 신제품개발의 성공여부에 달려 있다. 이러한 필요성과 중요성에 비추어볼 때, 국내에서의 신제품 성공 요인에 관한 연구는 그 기반이 미흡한 실정이다. 고로, 본 연구의 목적은 신제품 성공요인을 파악하고 이들 성공요인간의 관계를 유추해 보는 것으로 한다. 본 연구논문은, Day & Wensley 의 SPP(Source-Position-Performance) 연구모형을 바탕으로 국내 화장품시장을 중심으로 설문 조사한 결과, 11 개 기업에서 총 159 부를 수집하여 연구 모형 및 연구 가설을 검증하였다. 그래서 다음과 같은 사실을 밝혀냈다. 첫째, 신제품개발 과정에서 마케팅 능력이 직접적으로 제품차별화에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있다는 사실과 둘째, 임직원 몰입도가 부서간 통합에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있다는 사실이다. 그리고 셋째, 기술 능력이 단순히 뛰어나다 해서 제품을 차별화 시킬 수는 없다는 사실과 넷째, 부서간 통합정도가 직접적으로 제품차별화롤 가져올 수는 없었는데 이러한 결과는 부서내 커뮤니케이션의 부족 및 부서간 갈등 둥으로 인한 것으로 분석된다. 마지막으로, 제품의 차별화가 신제품 성과에 매우 유의한 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 제품이 출시되기 전에 철저한 시장 특성 및 동향을 파악하여 제품을 만들어야 한다는 사실이다. 기술 능력이 회사마다 평준화되어 있는 상황에서 무엇보다 필요한 것은 정확한 소비자 조사 및 이를 바탕으로 한 신제품개발이다. 또한 신제품개발과정에서 최고경영자 및 마케팅 담당자들은 주관적인 판단보다는 기업의 마케팅 능력에 따른 객관적인 판단에 따라 행동해야 한다. 특히 화장품시장에서는 브랜드마케팅에 의해 더욱 차별화시킬 수 있다는 사실이다. 단순한 제품에 생명력을 불어넣는 것이 마케터의 역할이다. 기업은 단순히 제품만을 파는 것이 아니라 소비자들에게 제품이상의 것을 판다, 그래서 소비자의 마음속에 정확하게 자사 제품을 포지션닝하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다는 사실이다.
