Innovation Management & New Product Development 5e offers an accessible and authoritative multi-functional perspective on innovation management and new product development. Its clear and informed coverage of the management processes of new product development, coupled with a practical orientation of taking you through real life challenges and dilemmas, results in a book that brings together the most up-to-date and accessible discussion of the literature in this area, as well as a wealth of examples and illustrations in every chapter.
