Abstract :
The processes involved in each of the aspect of every new product development project are structured in several ways. Areas such as design information, production control, and diffusion are adjusted by the organization to conform to the fundamental product concept. However, it is difficult to achieve this because many elements influence the system for creating the processes for developing each product. The characteristics of the industry the product comes under, the peculiarity of the organizational culture, and past successes all influence the creation system. This can make each aspect differ from fundamental concept of the product. This paper focuses on the relationship between the fundamental concept and the diffusion of each product. It analyzes the strategy applied by some Japanese companies. The difficulty and the importance of arranging every aspect of a project are studied, and diffusion related to technological information is considered.
