| Abstract |
Purpose The literature on product design/development (PD) has attempted to understand the consumer but has not provided a comprehensive framework for product marketers and designers. Thus, this paper aims to compile and link the main topics in the literature on PD to create a foundation for strategic development in this field. Design/methodology/approach This research adopted a "fit-for-purpose" methodology, a cross-referencing method and a meta-narrative approach that are appropriate for reviewing studies in a field involving complex topics and areas in which the literature is still developing. Findings To enhance the quality of product development, there is a need for PD strategy based on a clear understanding of many factors: the consumer; the complex interrelations among a product's values, dimensions and personalities; PD theories; and other related variables. Practical implications This study found that PD studies should concentrate more on codifying strategies to enhance product development success. This is particularly important in view of consumers' varied and changeable tastes in the global market and the differing insights of product marketers and designers. Originality/value This comprehensive systematic review is a unique study that contributes to future business-to-consumer and business-to-business research by compiling scattered and hidden strategies, theories and variables in the PD/development literature. |
