TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify 16 topics relevant to marketing science, which they classify under five research fields: consumer response to innovation, including attempts to measure consumer innovative-ness, models of new product growth, and recent ideas on network externalities.
Abstract: Innovation is one of the most important issues in business research today. It has been studied in many independent research traditions. Our understanding and study of innovation can benefit from an integrative review of these research traditions. In so doing, we identify 16 topics relevant to marketing science, which we classify under five research fields: - Consumer response to innovation, including attempts to measure consumer innovative-ness, models of new product growth, and recent ideas on network externalities - Organizations and innovation, which are increasingly important as product development becomes more complex and tools more effective but demanding - Market entry strategies, which includes recent research on technology revolution, exten-sive marketing science research on strategies for entry, and issues of portfolio manage-ment - Prescriptive techniques for product development processes, which have been transformed through global pressures, increasingly accurate customer input, web-based communica-tion for dispersed and global product design, and new tools for dealing with complexity over time and across product lines - Defending against market entry and capturing the rewards of innovating, which includes extensive marketing science research on strategies of defense, managing through metrics and rewards to entrants For each topic, we summarize key concepts and highlight research challenges. For pre-scriptive research topics, we also review current thinking and applications. For descriptive top-ics, we review key findings.

TL;DR: Barry Bayus as mentioned in this paper reviewed several empirical studies directly or indirectly related to this phenomenon and discusses some empirical examples of life cycles for various products and brands in rapidly evolving categories, finding no strong empirical support for shrinking product life cycles at the industry, product category, product technology, or product model level.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the literature on product development from a services perspective, and discusses three types of knowledge that are commonly required in a development process: the sequence of steps or procedural plan that must be followed; the understanding of what components integrate the design and how they interact; and the principles and models that describe physical or human behavior in the system that is being designed.
