    IDEA SCREENING

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    28/96

    Idea Screening

    After the firm identifies potential products, it

    must screen them. In product screening , poor,

    unsuitable or otherwise unattractive ideas are

    weeded out from further actions.

    No Error can occur if company permits poor

    ideas to move into development and

    commercialization.

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    29/96

    QUESTIONS OF SCREENING

    Does the product meet a need?

    Would it offer superior value?

    Can it be distinctively advertised?

    Does the company has necessary capital?

    Will the new product deliver the expectedsales volume, sales growth and profit?

    Is there sufficient demand?

    Does it fit the firms image?

    CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    31/96

    Concept Development

    Product ideaAproduct idea is a possible product the company might offer to the market.

    Eg:

    A car manufacturer figures outhow to design an fuel cell

    powered electric car that can goas fast as 110 km per hour and asfar as 370 km before needing to

    be recharged.T

    he manufacturerestimates that the electric car'soperating costs will be about half

    those of a regular car.

    Idea

    32/96

    Customers, do not buy a product idea;

    they buy a product concept

    What is Product Concept?

    Adetailed version of the new-product idea stated in

    meaningful consumer terms.

    What product concepts can

    we create for the abovementioned electric car?

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    33/96

    Concept 1. Amoderately priced subcompact

    designed as a second family carto be used

    around town. The car is ideal for running

    errands and visiting friends.

    Concept 2. Amedium-cost, sporty compactappealing to young people.

    Concept 3. An inexpensive subcompact

    'green' carappealing to environmentallyconscious people who want practical

    transportation and low pollution.

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    34/96

    Concept Testing

    Concept testing calls for testing new-product concepts with a

    group oftarget consumers. The concepts may be presented

    to consumers symbolically or physically.

    Here, in words, is Concept 3: An

    efficient, fun-to-drive, fuel-cell-

    powered electric sub compact car that

    seats four. This high-tech wonder runs

    on hydrogen created from methanol

    fuel, providing practical and reliable

    transportation with almost nopollution. It goes up to 110 km per

    hour and, unlike ordinary battery-

    powered electric cars,never needs

    frequent recharging. It's priced, fully

    equipped, at $13000.

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    35/96

    After being exposed to the concept, consumers may

    then be asked to react to it by answering the questions:

    Do you understand the concept of an hydrogen cell electric car?

    Yes( ) No( )

    Do you believe the claims about the car's performance?

    Yes( ) No( )

    What are the main benefits of the electric car compared with a conventional car?

    What improvements in the car's features would you suggest?

    For what uses would you prefer an electric car to a conventional car?

    What would be a reasonable price to charge for the electric car?

    Who would be involved in your decision to buy such a car? Who would drive it?

    Would you buy such a car?Definitely( ) Probably( ) Probably not( ) Definitely not( )

  • 8/4/2019 New Product Launch(Sec a+ Sec B)

    36/96

    The answers will help the company decide whichconcept has the strongest appeal.

    Product concept tests helps us to gaugecustomers' response as well as to identify aspects

    of the concept that are particularly liked ordisliked by potential buyers.

    Feedback might suggest ways to refine theconcept, thereby increasing its appeal tocustomers,

    Concept testing of prototypes can help avoidcostly mistakes.
