With the passage of time, product management has undergone many changes. It is no more a department of churning out promotional materials but is has now become the nerve center of the organization. Effective product management is a practical, purposeful and positive approach of improving the company results, through the efforts of a competent and committed team, coordinating manufacturing, marketing and sales. In short, it can be said that product management involves. 1.1 Product The word “product” can be defined in many ways. The definitions differ according to the difference in the connotation in which it is being used. Technically, a product can be defined as anything that is produced, whether as the result of generation, growth, labor, or thought, or by the operation of involuntary causes; as, the products of the season, or of the farm; the products of manufactures; the products of the brain. In manufacturing, products are purchased as raw materials and sold as finished goods. In project management, products are the formal definition of the project deliverables that make up or contribute to delivering the objectives of the project. In marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need. Notes Commodities are usually raw materials such as metals and agricultural products, but a commodity can also be anything widely available in the open market. From all the above connotations, we can say that in general usage, product may refer to a single item or unit, a group of equivalent products, a grouping of goods or services, or an industrial classification for the goods or services. 1.2 Concepts related to Product The world of products has many important concepts related to it that are very popularly prevalent in the industries world over. Let us understand each of them one by one. 1.2.1 Product Development Product development is the process of designing, building, operating, and maintaining a good or service. Product development adds things like pricing, marketing, and customer support to the technology to create a complete product. The companies world over, use a product development process to ensure that they are not just manufacturing a product that people will want to buy but also one that people would like to continue to use. To be sure, a base technology is at the heart of the product, but product development ensures that the customer’s voice is not lost in the rush to an exciting technology. Product development is performed by a multi-disciplinary team whose goal is building, operating, and maintaining the product. Team members may include product managers, product developers, project managers, product operations engineers, customer support managers, quality 2 LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY Unit 1: Introduction to Product Management assurance managers, user interface design engineers, marketers, financial personnel, graphic Notes artists, etc. 1.2.2 New Product The dynamics of markets, technology, and competition have brought changes to virtually every market sector and have made new product development one of the most powerful business activities. The monumental changes that constantly impact commerce have forced companies to innovate with increasing speed, efficiency, and quality. In turn, this has made new product development one of the most complex and difficult business functions. However, firms must innovate in order to survive. The power of innovation is revealed in numerous studies, which show that companies leading their industries attribute about half of their revenues to products developed in the most recent five years. By comparison, companies at the bottom of their industries achieve approximately one-tenth of their sales from new products. A new product can be defined as a product that is new to the market. Example: Sony introduced Walkman GE introduced Light HLL’s adult diapers, DEPEND, in Indian market. There are five categories of new products. 1. New-to-the-world products or services are new inventions. Example: In-line skates and health maintenance organizations. 2. New category entries are products or services that are new to a firm Example: Sport utility vehicles 3. Additions to product lines add products or services to a firm’s current markets. Example: When a powder laundry detergent offers a liquid version it is considered a line extension. 4. Product improvements are another type of new product and are common to every product category. Example: Product improvement made in Lifebuoy Soaps (as shown through Figure below) Figure 1.1 5. Repositionings target products to new markets or for new uses.

    Requirements for Brand Managers and Product Managers Responsible for Competitiveness of Product and Brands ▪ Wroblowská Zuzana

    Requirements for Brand Managers and Product Managers Responsible for Competitiveness of Product and Brands ▪ Wroblowská Zuzana Abstract Competitiveness of a product and care of a brand value are mainly the work of product man- agers and brand managers who play a major role in creating a competitive advantage of their companies. The aim of the paper is to present partial results of an independent research and connect them with the knowledge base of knowledgable management and human factors in product management. The paper focuses on a set of requirements for qualifications, experience, knowledge and skills that are imposed on candidates for the position of “Brand Manager”. For the purposes of defining the research objectives, an assumption was made that a set of require- ments for candidates will prove that brand managers and product managers are knowledgable workers. In order to meet this goal, the method of content analysis of job advertisements was used. Secondly, the research was focused on identifying and analysing the differences between the sets of requirements for product managers and brand managers. The analysis of the texts of job advertisements resulted in the requirements for knowledge and competency. It provided the information about what level of education, type and length of practical experience was preferred for the position of “Brand Manager”. The unexpected result was that the groups of technical knowledge and work experience of brand managers and product managers had statistically sig- nificant differences. At the end of the article, there are a number of recommendations formu- lated for the implementation of recruitment strategy. Keywords: brand manager, competitiveness, human resources, knowledge, product management, recruitment strateg y, skills JEL Classification: D83, M12, M31, M51 1.

As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

    Vernieuwend Wassen R&D in Vlaardingen En De Detergents-Business Van Unilever

    Vernieuwend wassen: Vernieuwend Vernieuwend wassen Vernieuwend wassen R&D in Vlaardingen en de detergents-business van Unilever R&D in Vlaardingen en de detergents-business Met de vorming van Unilever in 1930 ontstond één van de grootste zeep- en margarine- R&D in Vlaardingen en de producenten ter wereld. Zeep en margarine vormen overigens een logische combinatie, van Unilever beide bedrijfstakken werkten immers met dezelfde grondstoffen: oliën en vetten. In dit cahier staat de Research & Development van Unilever op het terrein van wasmiddelen Ton van Helvoort, Mila Davids en Harry Lintsen centraal. Waar het bij de R&D van voedingsmiddelen vaak om stapsgewijze zogeheten onzichtbare innovaties gaat, wordt de markt van wasmiddelen juist gekenmerkt door een reeks van radicale innovaties. De meest cruciale nieuwigheid was het op de markt komen van de synthetische wasmiddelen. Niet langer vormden plantaardige of dierlijke grondstoffen de basis, de bouwstenen werden voortaan geleverd door de aardolie- industrie. detergents Om de positie op de markt te kunnen vasthouden stond aan wasmiddelen gerelateerd onderzoek bij de Unilever laboratoria in Port Sunlight (Engeland) en Vlaardingen hoog -business van Unilever op de agenda. Innovaties vonden zowel plaats in de processing als in het verbeteren van de wasmiddelen. De auteurs laten zien hoe de onderzoekers van Unilever zich richtten op onderwerpen zoals de werking van oppervlakactieve stoffen, de toepassing van enzymen, fosfaatverontreiniging, het bleken bij lage temperatuur en de bijbehorende vermindering van het energieverbruik alsmede de bereiding van compacte poeders. De analyse van de R&D-inspanningen maakt duidelijk hoe allerlei ontwikkelingen met elkaar samenhangen; elke ‘innovatieve’ aanpassing kan gevolgen hebben elders in het netwerk.

Course Objectives A brand name, and its associated brand equity, is one of the most valuable assets any firm has. However, management education has not paid sufficient attention to managing brands, as the statement below suggests: “The MBA should stand for ‘Murderer of Brand Assets.’” (Larry Light, Marketing Consultant & Chairman of the Coalition for Brand Equity) To address this oversight, and to allow students to apply concepts learned in MBA 606/706, Marketing Management, this course addresses important branding decisions faced by organizations. The course objectives are: 1) to increase student understanding of the important issues in planning, implementing and evaluating brand strategies; 2) to provide relevant theories, models and tools for the making of brand decisions; and 3) to provide a forum for students to apply these principles.
