NPD process Product Innovation Charter
A PIC provide guidance to the business units on
the roles of innovation. It is a mission statement,
at a more micro level and adapted to new
product activities.
PIC allows delegation, financing and
assignments.
13. The background of a PIC includes key points
from a PEST analysis (Political, Economic, Social,
Technology) or situation analysis.
Questions addressed in this section of a PIC may
include:
› What is the business about?
› Why has this strategy been developed?
14. Core competencies
Focus is achieved by 4 strengths:
Core Technology (Kimberley-Clark)
Product experience ( Tan Hiep Phat
for soft-drink, Vissan for processed
and canned foods)
Customer franchise (Honda scooter/
Kleenex tissues)
End-use experience (Saigon beer in
HCM market, Halida beer in Hanoi
market)
Relying solely on
technology/customer’s stated
want is risky dual-drive strategy
Technology Drivers
Market Drivers
15. Technology drivers:
Firm with superior technical skills turning technical
specifications into product features that satisfy market
needs
Market drivers:
Customer group & end-use
Distributors & retailers
Questions addressed at this stage of a PIC may
include:
What are your company’s core competencies?
What is your company’s competitive advantage and

First to market: pioneering
Adaptive product: taking one’s own or a competitive product
and improving it.
Imitation or emulation
Timing:
First
Quick second
Slower
Late
Miscellaneous guidelines: special guidelines of product’s
cost, quality, brand and so forth.

significant current trend, have the best
understanding of the problems and
expect to gain significantly from solutions.
How to identify lead users?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnU0phMaVm0
› Is it good to ask customers what they
want?
› Being a customer, of your competitor’s
products and your own!
› Some companies provide toolkits for user
innovation, such as mobile phone games,
Lego toys, sport equipment. (Reading on
the Website)
23. Open innovation: a new method to find
out creative ideas and concept, by
outsourcing or seeking partners, externally.
› Select the best partner(s), in terms of
technological, strategic and relational
features.
› High level of trust
› P&G is one of the successful users of open
innovation, by adopting new technology
from outside. Unilever, HP, Toyota, LG,
MyStarbucksIdea, etc.

29. › What is a new product concept? A statement
about anticipated product features (form or
technology) that will yield selected benefits.
› The purposes of Concept Testing:
Concept Testing is part of the prescreening process
First purpose of a concept test is to identify the very
poor concept so it can be eliminated
If the concept passes the first reaction, a second
purpose is to estimate the sales or trial rate that the
product would enjoy – a sense of market share or
general range of revenue dollars.
29
30. › The purposes of Concept Testing:
The buying intention question appears in almost every
concept test. The most common format for purchase
intention is the classic five-point question: “How likely
would you buy a product like this, if we made it?”
1. Definitely would not buy
2. Probably would not buy
3. Might or might not buy
4. Probably would buy
5. Definitely would buy
The number of people who definitely buy or probably
would buy are usually combined and used as an indicator
of group reaction, this is called top-two-boxes score.
The third purpose is to help develop the idea, not just test
it!

31. Prepare the Concept Statement: a concept statement states
a difference and how that difference benefits the customer
or end-users. For example “This new refrigerator is built with
modular parts; consequently, the consumer can arrange the
parts to best fit a given kitchen location and then rearrange
them to fit another location”.

33. The first (and most common) method
of forecasting new product depletions
is historical review.
› If a company has introduced similar new
products into similar markets in the past,
these histories can often be good
predictors of future outcomes.
› If a company has no such history, then
histories of similar new products
introduced by competitors or other
companies can serve as historical
guidelines.
33
34. A second method of forecasting new
product success is the test market.
› The new product is developed and
introduced into one or more test markets.
Actual store sales and market shares are
tracked via Nielsen or IRI, or data from
retailers in some instances.
› Often this sales tracking is supplemented by
survey-based tracking of consumer
awareness, trial, usage, and repeat purchase
patterns.
› In some instances, consumer diary panels or
purchase panels are used to track consumer
trial, repeat purchases, and share.
34
35. A third method of forecasting is before-after retail
simulation. A sample of target audience consumers is
presented with simulations showing the in-store retail
environment and a realistic display of all the major
brands in the category. The consumer is asked to
choose or “purchase” brands as they normally would,
or as they might on their next 10 purchases.
› The new product is missing from the simulation during this
“before” measurement.
› Then the consumer is exposed to the new product concept
and/or advertising that conveys the new product concept.
› Later, the consumer sees the exact same simulated display
(except now it contains the new product) and is asked to
make the same choices or purchase decisions as before. So,
we have market shares for all brands in the category before
the new product is introduced, and the same data after the
new brand is introduced.
