by Florian Kohlbacher
International Journal of Technology Intelligence and Planning (IJTIP), Vol. 4, No. 3, 2008

Abstract: This paper develops and presents the concept of knowledge-based New Product Development (NPD) in an effort to explain the role of knowledge in NPD and the process of its (co-)creation and management. It tries to advance the notion of knowledge (co-)creation in NPD, with a particular focus on the involvement of customers – i.e., the co-creation of knowledge, value and innovation with customers. The purpose is to provide both academics and practitioners with a framework for understanding and analysing knowledge based processes in NPD and how these can be leveraged to foster innovation.
