Chapter 20 Introducing New Market Offerings
With a unique approach to video game playing, Nintendo’s highly interactive and engaging Wii became a huge hit.
In This Chapter, We Will Address the Following Questions
1.
What challenges does a company face in developing new products and services?
2.
What organizational structures and processes do managers use to oversee new-product development?
3.
What are the main stages in developing new products and services?
4.
What is the best way to manage the new-product development process?
5.
What factors affect the rate of diffusion and consumer adoption of newly launched products and services?
New-product development shapes the company’s future. Improved or replacement products and services can maintain or build sales; new-to-the-world products and services can transform industries and companies and change lives. But the low success rate of new products and services points to the many challenges they face. Companies are doing more than just talking about innovation. They are challenging industry norms and past conventions to develop new products and services that delight and engage consumers. Nintendo’s Wii is a prime example.1
Although Nintendo helped create the $30 billion global video game business, its U.S. sales had shrunk in half by 2006. CEO Satoru Iwata and game designer Shigeru Miyamoto decided to address two troubling trends in the industry: As players got older and acquired families and careers, they played less often, and as video game consoles got more powerful, they grew more expensive. Nintendo’s solution? Redesign the game controllers and the way they interacted with the consoles. Bucking industry trends, Nintendo chose a cheaper, lower-power chip with fewer graphics capabilities, creating a totally different style of play based on physical gestures. A sleek white design and a new motion-sensitive wireless controller made it much more engaging and interactive. Nintendo’s decision to embrace outside software developers meant a number of titles quickly became available. Thus Wii was born. Its collaborative nature made it a hit with nongamers drawn by its capabilities and hard-core players seeking to master its many intriguing games.
Marketers play a key role in new-product development by identifying and evaluating ideas and working with R&D and other areas in every stage of development. This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the new-product development process. Much of the discussion is equally relevant to new products, services, or business models. Chapter 21 considers how marketers can tap into global markets as another source of long-term growth.
