Objectives behind NPD • To satisfy change in consumer demand. • To counter the moves of compititors who have launched a new product. • To increase sale and profit of the organisation. • To expand the product range. • As the products have to eventually enter the decline stage of their PLC, it is rational to have new products coming up timely in order to keep the organisation going on.
