1. The authors have utilized both productand process in their definitions since the innovation may be directed to the development of an entirelynew process (e.g., a new and more efficientmethod for manufacturing chemicals). We prefer the definition of New Product and Process Development (NPPD) to Stage-Gate™ since the latter term refers to specific embodiments as discussed in (2). In many companies the NPPD would be equivalentto the Stage-Gate process discussed by Cooper (2).

2. Best practices for successful product development at the start of the NPPD are to have a project which is 1) well integrated with the company's productand business strategy, 2) clearly defined customer needs, 3) well defined productconcept, 4) clear project plan, 5) senior management support, and 6) empowered project team (4).
