JONATHAN CAGAN (Pittsburgh, PA) is George Tallman and Florence Barrett Ladd Professor of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon, has worked with companies including Navistar/International Truck, Apple, HP, Procter + Gamble, MSA, Respironics, Alcoa, General Motors, Whirlpool, RedZone Robotics, Bayer Material Science, DesignAdvance Systems, and Lubrizol. CRAIG M. VOGEL (Cincinnati, OH) directs the University of Cincinnati's Center for Design Research and Innovation. Also a professor in the School of Design with an appointment in Industrial Design, he is a Fellow, Past President Elect and Chair of the Board of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).
For years, Jonathan Cagan’s and Craig M. Vogel’s Creating Breakthrough Products has offered an indispensable roadmap for uncovering new opportunities, identifying what customers really value, and building products and services that redefine markets — or create entirely new markets. Now, the authors have thoroughly updated their classic book, adding new chapters on service design and global innovation, plus new insights, best practices, and case studies from both U.S. and global companies. Their new Second Edition compares revolutionary (Apple-style) and evolutionary (Disney-style) approaches to innovation, helping decision-makers choose between them, and make either one work. Cagan and Vogel provide more coverage of Value Opportunity Analysis and ethnography, as well as new case studies ranging from Navistar’s latest long-haul truck to P&G’s reinvention of Herbal Essence. Throughout, readers will find up-to-date insights into identifying Product Opportunity Gaps that can lead to enormous success; navigating the "Fuzzy Front End" of product development; and leveraging contributions from diverse product teams — while staying relentlessly focused on customers’ values and lifestyles, from strategy through execution. Using additional visual maps and illustrations, they’ve made their best-selling book even more intuitive and accessible to both industry and academic audiences.

It's the Perspiration that Counts, By
This review is from: Creating Breakthrough Products: Revealing the Secrets that Drive Global Innovation (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Thomas Edison said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration and that is the quote that starts this textbook. The authors say that the same can be said of developing new products, then they go on to prove it in their text with both new ideas in product development and well seasoned practices.This book will give students an understanding of seven aspects of the new product development process which are. 1. A systems level approach which integrates product and service design. 2. Methods to obtain insights in emerging trends. 3. How to navigate the Fuzzy Front End of product development. 4. How to use research to understand the needs and desires of customers. 5. Techniques to help in the integration of team players such as engineers and designers. 6. A complete product development process. And lastly an approach which connects planning and brand management. This is the kind of book that I wish I had as a text when I was... Read more

Great Update to sophisticated text on innovation and strategic product development,

This review is from: Creating Breakthrough Products: Revealing the Secrets that Drive Global Innovation (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
It seems today, innovation and product development professionals recommend short business texts filled with concise case studies highlighting new concepts of breakthrough innovation without a focus on how divergent teams successfully work together and measure their progress and success. Eric Reis' The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses took a great step in providing sets of tools for testing new concepts in iterative ways; however, Vogel and Cagan's Creating Breakthrough Products: Innovation from Product Planning to Program Approval (paperback) was among the first to breakdown the discipline of innovation between business, design...

An insightful guide to Product Innovation, By Jeff C. (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Breakthrough Products: Revealing the Secrets that Drive Global Innovation (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
As the manager of a team focused on the development of innovative new laboratory products, I have frequently applied the methodology outlined in the first edition of Creating Breakthrough Products. This new edition updates many of the original case studies, and adds some useful new ones. The foundational concepts remain as well presented and useful as ever. Deployment of the SET factors to identify and evaluate innovations has served us well. As providers of tools for laboratory use it's easy to dismiss social trends as not relevant to our customers buying preferences at work. Digging deeper using the techniques in Creating Breakthrough Products revealed to us that environmental and recycling concerns are increasingly important in laboratory purchasing decisions. We have since made it a focus to lead the way in reduced impact lab disposables.
