Title: Product development model: Case study of high-definition television

Abstract: This study addresses the necessary relationships (competition and cooperation) between and among (1) the manufacturers, (2) the customers, (3) the research organizations, and (4) the government agencies, who are involved in the development of a high technology product as the product traverses successfully through its product development life-cycle (PDLC). The PDLC is composed of three phases (invention, development, and integration) and each of these phases consists of three stages (idea generation and assessment, development and testing, and standardization and launch).

The literature review identified the problem-delay in HDTV development; the case study analyzed the history of television to produce a product development model (PDM) which considers the phases, stages, entities and their relationships; and the field survey validated the PDM using convergence analysis. Monochrome television (MTV) represented the invention phase, color television (CTV) the development phase, and high definition television (HDTV) the integration phase.

The PDM illustrates the following--The relationship for the between entities' category changes from competition to cooperation as the product traverses through the stages, while it remains the same for the among entities' category; and the relationship for the among entities' category changes from competition to cooperation as the product traverses through the phases, while it remains the same for the between entities' category.
