The document discusses the new product development process, which begins with idea generation from internal and external sources. Ideas are then screened using criteria like feasibility and commercial potential. Selected ideas undergo concept development and testing with customers. If testing is successful, a marketing strategy is created. A business analysis determines the product's financial viability. Products passing this stage enter development, test marketing, and commercialization if successful. Managing the process with a customer focus, cross-functional teams, and systematic approach helps ensure new products meet objectives. In parallel, an effective brand strategy is developed through approaches like positioning, extensions, and portfolio management.
