JOURNAL OF PRODUCT INNOVATION MANAGEMENT

The Journal of Product Innovation Management is the leading academic journal devoted to the latest research, theory, and practice in new product and service development. It is published six times a year, and is one of the important benefits of being a member of PDMA.

JPIM is dedicated to the advancement of management practice in all of the functions involved in the total process of product innovation. Its purpose is to bring to managers and students of product innovation the theoretical structures and the practical techniques that will enable them to operate at the cutting edge of effective management practice. The scope is broad, taking account of those issues that are crucial to successful product innovation in the organization's external as well as internal environment. The intent is to be informative, thought-provoking, and intellectually challenging and thereby to contribute to the development of better managers.

The Journal takes a multifunctional, multi-disciplinary, international approach to the issues facing those for whom product innovation is an important concern. It presents the research, experiences, and insights of academics, consultants, practicing managers, economists, scientists, lawyers, sociologists, and thoughtful contributors from other professions and disciplines. Since approaches to product innovation often differ in different economies and cultures, the Journal draws on the work of authors from all over the world. Articles are based on empirical research, well-considered observations of management experience, and state-of-the-art reviews of important issues as well as conceptual and theoretical developments.

The Journal invites innovative, provocative, even heretical viewpoints and special essays that will stimulate and advance the management of product innovation.
