Up to you
In pairs, 5’
Think of a newly developed product (innovation)
Was it created because there was a need?
An other reason?
Is it somehow a creative breakthrough?
![Page 7: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Due to
Changes in consumer needs
New technologies
Mobile phone => wifi => smart phone
Competitive force
Samsung vs. Apple
![Page 8: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Financial risks
Chances to fail are quite big
Even despite extended market research
![Page 9: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Growth
Continuity (survival)
Profit
Tackle PLC
Make use of overproduction
Meet the changing needs of the consumers
![Page 10: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Advantages innovation vs. Me-too
Early mover advantages: large brand awareness and knowledge
MP3 = iPod
Cost leadership because of large production volume
Registered innovation => production start long before competition
Eg. Senseo pads (ended in 2006)
Eg. Nestlé capsules (ended in 2012)
![Page 11: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Nestlé lost an important court case in 2012 against a small British coffee manufacturer (Dualit)
![Page 12: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Imitators
Advantages
No R&D costs
Steal part of the market/segmented targets
Disadvantages
Hard to conquer part of the market (‘follower’)
Sometimes only able to take part in the success by means of producing private labels
![Page 13: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
When do companies innovate?
They offer something rare/hard to find
Only to be found in a unique location
They improve the existing service/product
Locate problem => improve
They create a totally new product
Already in the USA
Practically unknown in the
East of Europe

Every product goes through the PLC
Duration depends on type of product
Technological product: 1 year
Others: can last for more than 100 years…
Every phase asks for a different marketingapproach
Every phase: different turnover
![Page 36: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Turnover:
Growing slowly
Facilitate adoption
Restraints:
Insufficient manufacturing capacity
Technical problems
Market is fluid, predictions are difficult
Examples: Dixan Megaperls, Omo, Renault Cactus, augmented reality
![Page 39: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Costs
Costs > return
R&D
High manufacturing costs
Low sales volume
High advertising costs
No profit yet; financial loss only
Examples: 3D television, holographic projection
![Page 40: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Product management
Sometimes: stop product line
No more parts, accessories, service, repair
Eg. Windows 98 after XP launch, Minidisc player
![Page 57: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Turnover decreases, due to
Technological evolution
Increasing competition
Changing life styles
Once in decline, now again trendy
![Page 58: Chapter 4.4 product management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55635e77d8b42ae6088b4617/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Very sudden and brisk death
Photo cameras
Slow death
Video recorders
Decline to marginal level
Survive in the margin
