Useful introduction 28 Mar 2010
By Antonio
Format:Paperback
Wide-ranging, accessibly written and clearly organised. I'm not sure the Dummies format helps the authors - they seem a bit insure who they're writing for - but overall I found the book v. constructive.

This book is an excellent starting point for anyone either new to new product development or studying the subject. it is a very comprehensive book that is easy to read and understand and gives an excellent insight to a very difficult subject.

I used this book while completing a BSc in engineering management and found it invaluable as a subject guide.

A must-have for product development and marketing professionals 28 Jun 2007
By S. LaLiberte - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a former student of Beebe's, I can offer a first-hand account of her practical and useful suggestions. I have used her methodologies and seen the positive results in my own position. Whether you are new to the game or a seasoned professional, the logical organization of this book offers an easy-to-follow "how-to" of new product development and incorporates the latest thinking and methodologies for easy implementation. Students will benefit from the real-life examples, and experienced practitioners will be shown problem solving in a new light, finding that there are almost always alternate ways of viewing the same challenge with drastically different results. Regardless of your experience level, industry, or base knowledge of product development, New Product Development For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))is a must-have for your business learning library, and should be revisited often for fresh ideas. Happy reading!

a great primer 27 Aug 2011
By Eric Muller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am looking at changing my career and wanted to know more about new product delevopment as a possible growth potential. The first chapter alone had anough meat to not only understand where this type of career would be going but develop a fairly decent talk track for an interview. I like the book and it will meet my goals.
