The Concept:
A new product comes into being when it is successful- that is
when it meets the goals/objectives assigned to the project. When
launched, it is still in the tentative form, because the changes are
quite apt to be necessary to make it successful. Therefore, we say
it is still a concept, an idea that is not fulfilled.
Back before technical work was finished, the product was even
more of a concept. To understand this, and see how it relates
to the ideation process
We have to look at three inputs required by the creation
process.
1) Form
2) Technology
3) Benefit
The Concept:
Form: This is the physical thing created, or in the case of a
service, it is the sequence of steps by which the service will
be created.
Example 1: With a new steel alloy, form is the actual bar or
rod of material.
Example 2: On a new mobile phone service it includes the
hardware, software , people, procedure and so on by which
calls are made and received.
The Concept
Technology: This is the source by which the form was
attained.
Example : For the steel alloy, it included the steel or other
chemicals used for the alloy, the science of metallurgy,
product forming machines, cutting machines and more.
Benefit: The product has value only as it provides some
benefit to the customer that a customer sees a need or
desire for.
If any of those three is missing, there cannot be product
innovation.
The Concept
The Concept
The innovation process can start with any one of the
three dimensions, and can vary what happen second
(Figure 3). Here are the primary statements.
Customer has a NEED, which a firm find out about. It calls on
its TECHNOLOGY to produce a FORM that is then sold to the
customers.
A firm has a TECHNOLOGY that it matches with a given
market group, and then finds out a NEED that group has,
which is then met by a particular FORM of product.
A firm envisions a FORM of product, which is then created
by use of a TECHNOLOGY and then given to customers to
see if it has any BENEFIT.

Summary
Introduction of concept generation for new products.
The role of management to prepare an organization
for concept generation. Finding and training creative
people, and then creating an environment for them
to work in where they can be motivated to produce.
Next came a look at concept itself that what is it and
how it comes into existence. The concept is build
around the ideas of technology, form and benefit,
and is tested whether it can communicate to an
intended buyer what the proposed product is all
about and whether it appears useful.
