Abstract
SummaryThis paper outlines how Nabisco Inc. put in place a ‘best practice’ approach to product development closely tied to a corporate-wide strategy for technology investment, development, and management. The approach described in this paper is based upon a number of stages, including: improved understanding of consumer and business needs; identification of and investment in the ‘right mix’ of projects; continued reference to corporate strategic priorities; appropriate IP protection and portfolio management; and leveraging technology investment to support a range of product lines and categories.
