Abstract: Developing disruptive innovations is still a daunting tasks for established companies. They are unmatched in creating sustaining innovations, but when it comes to highly innovative products, the success score of most corporates still lacks market-changing innovations. Incumbents’ New Product Development (NPD) failure rates of ~40% most of all indicate an insufficient product-market-fit. Studies on disruptive innovations show that disruption is a continuous process that starts with introducing products in niche markets – defined as customers with a similar set of needs – from where they gain market share step-by-step. The problem is that popular market segmentation approaches are not suitable to group customers with a similar need-set and, hence, make it difficult if not impossible to define products with a great product-market-fit. In this paper, the authors present a decision model for a need-based product positioning approach. For this, an integrative framework is presented that co nnects the three object layers customer needs, market segments and product positioning in a holistic manner. The decision model will help companies to align product attribute positioning and customer needs more systematically in context of disruptive innovations – a starting point to increase new product success (More)
