摘要
This empirical study investigates the impact of customer partnering in new product development by comparing the performance of new products undertaken in partnerships versus those developed in-house. The results demonstrate that overall, partnership projects were no more successful than in-house projects. This surprising result was true regardless of the performance metric used. Not all new product development is improved by close cooperation with customers. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
