Lee, Sangwon. "When is the atypical design not penalized? Moderating role of product innovativeness and technological sophistication in consumer’s evaluation of new products." American Journal of Business 34, no. 3/4 (November 15, 2019): 169–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ajb-06-2018-0035.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the individual and joint effects of the two design dimensions, form design and functional design, and moderating role of product innovativeness and technological sophistication in consumer’s evaluation of new products. Employing theoretical underpinnings from categorization theory, this paper investigates two major research questions. First, what type of form is more advantageous for a radically new product or an incrementally new product? Second, is there an individual difference in consumer evaluations to innovative products with various form designs? Design/methodology/approach One pre-test and three between-subject experiments were performed. In Experiments 1 and 2, a two-way between-group ANOVA analysis was performed to examine the effect of form and the degree of technological innovation on attitude toward the product using different product categories (car and camera). In Experiment 3, a three-way between-group ANOVA analysis was performed to explore the impact of form, the degree of technological innovation and consumer technological sophistication on attitude toward the product. Findings The results from the three experiments conducted demonstrate that, first, whereas the form design for incremental innovations must be closer to the incumbent products for favorable evaluations, less typical form is evaluated as good as a more typical form for radical innovations. Second, form design of an innovative product matters more to the technologically more sophisticated consumers (experts). Originality/value This paper extends the previous design literature and fills the gap of under-researched area by demonstrating that individual difference, technological sophistication, moderates the design effect on consumer evaluation of innovation; providing boundary condition of when the atypical form is not penalized in spite of consumer’s perceived learning cost; examining how the form and function interplay in “high-status product”; and demonstrating how to strengthen the reliability and validity by replicating the study. Managerially, this paper demonstrates that innovating firms can influence the perceived value of new products using form and functionality, and marketing managers who launch really new products have strategic freedom of choosing own product design.

Full textAbstract:
In the north-east of England technological innovations by small firms follow a broad pattern in terms of dimensions, causal factors and sources of innovation. Product innovators owe their innovations largely to management motivation and growth ambition. They perceive the need for a particular product in the market and work towards its development in-house. Internal technical capability is decisive. Thus, product innovations emerge due to internal factors. The innovative products are patented and exhibited in national and international exhibitions and advertised in professional journals. As a result, the firms export a considerable share of their output and grow larger. Such firms are ‘offensive’ or ‘proactive’ innovators. They are innovation leaders. Incremental innovators either substitute a raw material to produce an existing product, or change the product shape/dimension/design on their own initiative or in response to their customers. Some upgrade their existing machinery or acquire new machinery for expansion or product diversification. Others introduce existing products due to customer demand or to enable further growth. They are decisive in their incremental innovations. The companies upgrade their technology or skills and change product shape, dimension or design with external support. In-house R&D is largely absent. Thus, incremental innovators emerge due to external factors. These firms are ‘defensive’ or ‘reactive’ innovators. They are innovation followers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Novel product evaluations are challenging in that they occur under pre-use conditions in which users cannot rely on their past experiences with the product to determine its quality. The reported study explores the effects of innovation type and design simplicity level on novel interactive product evaluations. The results show that the type of innovation interacts with the visual simplicity level and affects one’s judgment about a product’s instrumental attributes, namely, its ease of use and functionality. While technology-based novel products are judged to be more innovative and more creative compared to design-based novel products when the designs are relatively simple, this trend shifts for complex designs where there is no significant difference between judgments of the two types of products. Finally, while innovativeness is a salient predictor for preference variance regardless of innovation type and design visual simplicity level, creativity is a predictor for preference variance of design-based innovation, when the design is relatively simple.

The key factor of product innovation design is analyzed in this paper. Among these factors, the construction of product innovation design knowledge service system is most important to enhance ability of innovative design. The process of innovative design is divided into conceptual layer, system layer and parts layer, and that the design process and knowledge class of different layer is totally different. Innovation design process of products is always along with the flow and inte-gration of different knowledge. The integration pattern and evaluation formula of knowledge ser-vice is put forward in the paper and finally the knowledge service system supporting innovation design in distributed resources.

Full textAbstract:
Customers are considered to be major stakeholders whose demands and preferences have a strong influence on corporate strategies. In this sense, increased consumer environmental awareness has led to a growing demand for environmentally friendly products which, in turn, has compelled firms to adopt innovative forms of integrating environmental protection into product development and production processes. Nevertheless, an “attitude–behavior gap” has been witnessed, which implies that consumers’ environmental attitudes do not always translate into an actual ecologically compatible purchasing behavior and, consequently, eco-product innovations will not necessarily entail a positive economic impact for companies. This paper aims to analyze if the companies that invest in eco-product innovation are valued by consumers, showing higher growth. Specifically, we propose that eco-product innovation has a positive effect on a firm’s sales growth. Additionally, we aim to analyze the consumers’ preferences in relation to eco-product innovations considering two alternative approaches that companies can follow in this respect: eco-design and products with ecological use. The results obtained for an unbalanced sample of 5391 international companies corresponding to the period 2002–2017 (51,666 observations) show that proactive environmental innovation strategies are positively valued by consumers, having a positive impact on the companies’ sales growth. Furthermore, consumers show a greater preference for environmental innovations in eco-design than for products with ecological use.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Innovation & product safety in the case of the EC & Hungarian SMEs is a top priority, where product safety is also a legal obligation. Despite this, innovation design is dealt with inadequately by the majority of companies, and this is due to lack of knowledge or competency, especially considering the processes related to the design of safe products. Improper behaviour in the design stages results in losses for the companies - losses due to the inadequacy of otherwise innovative products. Inadequate or poorly applied directives/policies, especially when coded into processes influence not only the safety of the products but can result in delays to market access, significantly increasing costs & development time, as well jeopardising the product’s acceptance on the future market.

PurposeIn the construction industry, building facade systems are gaining significance as reflected in the number of facade product innovations available on the market. While research studies on the adoption of these facade product innovations are comparatively limited in number. An awareness of the advantages and impacts that a product innovation brings is critical in its adoption, and therefore the purpose of this paper is to develop a classification framework for the use of producers/vendors present the advantages and impacts of their innovative facade products to the architects.Design/methodology/approachThe study, in addition to literature review, consisted of four main steps without distinct boundaries, namely, (1) case study sample selection regarding facade products, (2) data collection through review of published documents, analysis of the data via content analysis and generation of a preliminary framework for the evaluation of facade product innovations, (3) further data collection through semi-structured interviews and analysis of the products and (4) redefining innovation types and finalizing classification framework through assessment of new facade products.FindingsInnovation types may vary according to the product groups under investigation and viewpoints of the classifications. Selected facade products were evaluated in terms of their specific characteristics through identified viewpoints: as a physical object and as an agent. It was revealed that assessing a product innovation in terms of changes in its structural composition and impact on other related physical objects/processes can change the type of innovation. Additionally, insights about improved characteristics specific to facade products, forms of change in these products and architects' new actions in the facade design process were obtained.Research limitations/implicationsOnly the products stated by the producers/vendors as being new to the Turkish market at the time they were introduced were evaluated in terms of all aspects proposed in the framework. For these products and others that were evaluated, the product data obtained from the producers/vendors have been deemed to be accurate. Research on equivalent products in the market has not been conducted.Originality/valueStudies identifying innovation types in the facade industry are very rare. The proposed framework can be regarded as a detailed investigation of product innovation types in the facade industry which offers component-system level improvement/change analysis. Moreover, it can be an effective tool for producers/vendors to ensure that architects have knowledge about their innovative products and their impacts on facade design and also to facilitate the adoption of these products.

AbstractWith complex technology-intense industries follows an ever-increasing need for rapid innovation processes. Yet, innovation speed and the time from idea to product realization can vary and be unpredictable.Design Thinking (DT) is suggested as a key driver to impact the speed of product innovation within product development projects. To understand and aid the road from early ideas and concepts to value- added products, this paper will provide a literature study on how Design Thinking can facilitate improved product innovation performance through innovation speed.The paper seeks to develop an overview of new insight on DT applicability for improved product innovation capability. This is done by identifying components that comprise DT´s innovative ability and appropriateness to product development contexts beyond the early creative phases of product development.As DT emphasize on visualization and re-framing problems, it contributes to enhanced clarity, meaning and confidence in ideas and decisions. DT in this way may impact strategy formulation and speed up complex innovation processes by pre-experiencing future situations.

Purpose Using Taiwanese enterprises that produce computer and consumer electronics products as case subjects, this study aims to explore the effective product innovation strategies applied to cope with competition in the global market and develop a competitive advantage. The product design strategies and methods of companies that used different types of innovation strategies were then analyzed. Finally, a mapping framework for product innovation and design strategies was proposed for enterprises in the computer and consumer electronics industry in Taiwan. Design/methodology/approach The two stages of this study were a questionnaire survey and case studies. Stage 1: A questionnaire survey and literature review were performed to explore the innovation strategies used by companies in the Taiwanese computer and consumer electronics industry. The purpose of the literature review was to determine the definitions and content of innovation strategies. Stage 2: Design and R&D managers were interviewed to explore the practical design strategies and approaches to product design in the industry. Findings These four innovation strategies and ways of product design are closely related to the scale, business type and product development conditions in enterprises. Notably, different innovation strategies have different approaches to product design. Generally, product design emphasizes “new experience” in aggressive innovation enterprises, “new value” in market innovation enterprises, “new service” in technical innovation enterprises and “new positioning” in opportunity innovation enterprises. The findings of this study provide a reference for product R&D and design in enterprises. Originality/value In recent years, the global market of computer and consumer electronic products has been fiercely competitive. Therefore, only enterprises that can innovate, respond rapidly and maintain advantages in product design can survive in the market. Hopefully, this case study of companies in the Taiwan computer and consumer electronic industry can provide a reference for product R&D and design. The findings of this study provide a reference for product R&D and design in enterprises, especially the Chinese market.

Purpose This paper aims to study the appearance of drills from one brand by using currently available design tools. It aims to find and discuss the relationship between appearance innovation and maintaining key design features. Design/methodology/approach The innovation process is studied on drills of a Czech power tool maker and a previously created concept of a new drill. First, the authors explore the similarities between the designed concept and previous models of the brand by calculating the degree of similarity of given shape features. Second, they capture the drills simple shape grammar and strive to generate a sketch of the concept. Findings Results show the use of several similar shape features from previous models in the innovated design. Shape grammar can create a principally similar concept, but some innovations cannot be achieved this way. A description of appearance innovation within brand identity in terms of shape grammar is given. Research limitations/implications The research is limited mainly to a small group of previous products that can be analyzed. It is done only for one particular brand identity. When used with the shape grammars, design generation is limited. Practical implications Better understanding of the innovative process aids designers in working with designs for brand identity and may serve to shape grammar enhancement. Originality/value The paper describes what happens during the innovation of product appearance and implicates enhancement and meaning of design analysis done by shape grammars and exploring similarities.

As most of the knowledge used in industrial product design is based on data files from a previous design, it is difficult to be efficiently applied in supporting product innovation design. This paper proposes a method to construct an enterprise knowledge base (EKB) for product innovation design. A concept of the functional basis of product (FBP) is first proposed based on similar products. The function units and corresponding technical units are clustered to construct an EKB for product innovation design. A retrieval path of the knowledge is then proposed from the functional level. The prototype software is developed to retrieve the knowledge directly through function units and determine the optimal technology by searching and ranking relevant patents. The patent circumvention and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) methods are used to solve invention problems and obtain innovative solutions. The built EKB model provides a systematic method for the innovative product design process. An underwater separator is developed in a case study to verify the proposed method.

User expectations regarding new products and services are evolving rapidly, forcing innovative organizations to explore new avenues for innovation, combining products and services. This paper focuses on the integrative design of product–service systems (PSSs) and builds on the servitization and service-based innovation literature. Many tools have been proposed for designing integrated PSS, with the intent to generate economic and/or sustainable impact. In this article, we focus on tools being used for bringing the user experience and intangibles in the design process. Although the literature is rich with tools and methods to optimize the PSS design process, it does not consider the full array of methods and their impact. This lack of research attention might hinder organizations developing PSS. Using in-depth interviews, this qualitative research systematically combines the extant conceptual literature on PSS design tools and processes with expert insights, thereby contextualizing how to lower thresholds in PSS design processes and how to increase the effectiveness of PSS design tools. The paper contributes to the literature on servitization and PSS by explicitly identifying twenty-one preconditions that support the PSS design process while integrating product and service innovation in close relation to the end-user.

The “people’s innovation” can promote development in enterprises in urgent need of innovative product design. Collaborative product design can be a powerful tool for enterprises wishing to improve their market competitiveness and customer satisfaction. To reduce decision costs, improve efficiency, and solve other issues, promoting “people’s innovation” can play a vital role. With this focus, this paper examines products produced through “people’s innovation.” A collaborative design task scheduling problem is presented. The design tasks are sorted based on a minimum delivery cost principle, which is determined using weighted shortest processing time (WSPT) rules and the shortest delivery time. The results show that distributed collaborative innovation can result in a reasonable arrangement for collaborative design tasks.

Purpose The concept design-driven innovation focuses on innovating product meanings. It has been studied from a variety of perspectives and contexts since the early 2000s. However, a complete overview of the literature published in this area is currently missing. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how design-driven innovation contributes to value creation in product development. Design/methodology/approach In this systematic literature review, 57 papers and book chapters that cover design-driven innovation were identified and analyzed. An iterative coding process was followed to derive five facets of design-driven innovation that contribute to value creation. Findings Design-driven innovation creates value by focusing on the intangible values of products. The following five facets of design-driven innovation that contribute to value creation were identified: development of new product meanings, knowledge generation, actors and collaborations, capabilities and process. These facets and their interrelations are presented in a theoretical framework. Practical implications The main practical implication of this study is that it is now clear that the five facets of design-driven innovation are interrelated and reinforce each other. Therefore, companies need to approach design-driven innovation from a holistic perspective. Originality/value This paper contributes to theory by presenting the theoretical framework that provides an overview of available knowledge and that creates a context for future research.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess innovation in the hotel sector in Sweden and to investigate how structural and organizational factors influence hotel’s likelihood of producing service/product, process, organizational and marketing innovations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on responses from 174 hotels with membership in the Swedish hotel association. Responses were collected via a web-based survey.FindingsThis paper provides insights about the nature and extent of innovations in the hotel sector. Although traditionally considered rigid and non-innovative, around half of the responding hotels produced at least one type of innovation. Most common are service/product and marketing innovations. A hotel’s likelihood of innovating depends largely on structural independence (non-chain), having an explicit innovation strategy and investing in non-traditional R&D.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the chosen design (convenience sampling), the results of this paper may lack generalizability.

Innovative product design is the core problem of modern industry and the source power of enterprise development. With the continuous improvement of China’s material level, product innovation design has changed from functional needs to emotional needs, and the product design method centered on users’ emotional needs has attracted much attention. With the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, the automation and intelligence of advanced algorithms and innovative design methods for online product decision driven by multimodal multimedia data in e-commerce have become inevitable trends in the field of product design, and it is a big challenge to improve the innovative design ability of products by using information technology. In order to solve this problem, based on the research of BP neural network technology, this paper puts forward an innovative product design method based on image-Kempi method. The color features of images are reconstructed and integrated, and then transferred to product modeling, so as to generate new products with both content image modeling features and style image color features, which brings visual inspiration to users. The results show that KENPI method combines the theories of Kansei engineering, convolutional neural network, and neural style transfer, and establishes a mapping model between product modeling elements and product semantics. Convolutional neural network and neural style transfer model are used to extract, reconstruct, and integrate the color features of style diagrams, and transfer them to product modeling to design new product images. By evaluating the image quality and comparing the product semantics before and after the migration, the validity and feasibility of the migration are verified. Based on BP neural network, a nonlinear mapping model between product attribute space and product semantic space is constructed, and the generalization ability of the model is evaluated, which verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of this method. The research results have important theoretical guiding significance for improving the innovative design ability of enterprises, enhancing product competitiveness, and customer satisfaction.

Increasing demand for simplification of frequently used products promotes innovation with simple mechanisms. In this study, an attempt is made by amalgamating FMEA, QFD, TRIZ, LCA, and fuzzy TOPSIS for the development of sustainable products. The methodology is executed to redesign a simple pressure relief valve (PRV) in an economic, sustainable, and innovative manner. The failure modes of PRV are considered in FMEA and ranked by their RPN. The environmental voice of the customer is imbibed in ECQFD to correlate with the engineering specifications and obtain the critical zones of improvement. Possible innovations of the existing design based on the design option selected from ECQFD are considered by analyzing the design feature contradictions, and solutions are addressed using the TRIZ matrix. Four CAD models of improved designs were created and subjected to sustainability analysis and fatigue life analysis. The redesigns were evaluated using fuzzy TOPSIS, an MCDM approach, to obtain an unbiased ranking based on multiple criteria supported by the result analysis and expert opinions. The final design was selected for prototyping. This approach provides a holistic approach for innovative product design and development and a simplified approach for an innovative redesign of an existing product.

In the process of the study, based on the generalization of the works of famous scientists, the interdependence of the idea, innovation and financial support was determined. This relationship is due to the following components: creativity of the inventor as a transcendence of the idea; uniqueness of innovation as a sign of rationality, consumption, science intensity, usefulness, alternativeness; patterns and rationality of the emergence of innovation as an immanent life; alternativeness of innovation in determining the optimality of financial, energy, time, emotional costs; the intentions of an economic person, which can be manifested in the forms of a traditional and unique way of introducing innovations; financial instruments for introducing innovations; science as a function of life, which is realized through movement towards integrity and causes creativity in innovative design; the need for innovation as a product that optimizes economic costs; growing investment interest in the demand for the latest technologies. The development of the innovation process is analyzed through cyclicity, modeling, consistency, stability, balance, inertia, institutionality, security. Moreover, each methodology contains categories. Thus, new entities, phenomena and forms of their manifestation are illuminated. All areas of the national economy that are contained in the budgetary principles and are based on economy, advertising, efficiency. The initiative of innovative entrepreneurs in choosing forms of presence in the innovation market suffers obstacles from the state authorities. During the recovery period, state regulation pursues a policy of restrictions, a symbolic monetary and foreign exchange policy.

“Innovation activities” means all the scientific, technological, organizational, financial and commercial steps aimed at implementing innovation. Some innovation activities are themselves innovative, others are not new, but they are necessary for the implementation of innovation, such as Research and Development not linked to a specific innovation. Innovation has a close reference to the economic market, that is to say with the users of the innovated product: if these are not sufficiently developed they are not able to understand it and appreciate it. Innovation, making the process better, generates greater competitiveness: it is the dream of something better that translates into general well-being. This work presents an innovative hybrid car’s design, belonging to the E-segment. The choice of this segment is already innovative in its nature, as despite being currently in strong development, hybrid and electric engines are still little used for large sedans. The method we present in this paper for the car design is also innovative and is called Design for Six Sigma. It is a method used to develop new products, through the determination of customer and market needs and the transformation of these requests into the product generated.

The purpose of Bina UMKM Batik is to provide training on the technique of mixing and matching (composition) colors, motifs and other materials (plastic) with batik waste produced by SMEs in order to produce batik products that are attractive in terms of color composition. As well as helping MSMEs in reducing the waste of batik cloth produced. The form of utilization of Batik waste will be the use of unused cloth from the rest of batik production which has been made in the form of patchwork in various sizes, colors and motifs characterized by Pekalongan batik. These materials will be designed by taking into account the type of product to be made, the materials used and the color composition to be used in the design of batik products such as bags, chair cushions and table ware sets. It is hoped that from this training, Batik SMEs can utilize the remaining batik cloth waste and reduce waste from existing batik and can produce product diversification that has design value and economic value. The process of making products will gradually be documented with videos so that MSMEs can follow how to produce products that have been designed. And product prototypes that have been made will be used as examples by MSMEs so that they can follow the design and quality standards of the products that have been made.

At present, algorithm technology has achieved very rapid development, and it is more and more widely penetrated and applied in people’s production and life. Among them, product design based on intelligent algorithm has also been widely used. This technology plays an important role in promoting product innovation and design and contributes to the improvement and optimization of technology, showing very significant application benefits in the product design and development process of major enterprises. The application of intelligent algorithms in product design can not only make products more in line with customers’ usage habits, but also products blessed with intelligent algorithms often have more commercial value. Therefore, in order to enhance the added value of commodities, innovative design of products has become a must. Nanomaterials must have unique properties that are unmatched by general building materials, such as high surface activity, strong oxidation, and superparamagnetic. This article mainly studies design strategies from two aspects, namely the innovation of material properties and application methods, and introduces the properties of nanomaterials, their application status, and the existing problems. And it starts from the application of intelligent technology in nanomaterial products, innovative design, and development prospects, combined with actual cases, to find a feasible way for the development of innovative design and research of nanomaterial products. On this basis, it is proposed that the idea of expanding the design should reunderstand and reposition the product design of nanomaterials and make the design more acceptable to more consumers. New design ideas and methods such as adjusting material properties through intelligent algorithms provide certain assistance and support for the application of intelligent algorithms in product design innovation practice. Some completed application practices are also presented to illustrate the rationality of the application of intelligent algorithms in nanomaterial products. The results show that the crowd search algorithm has the highest optimization degree and has good stability and optimization effect, and its standard deviation is the lowest close to 0.

Abstract How do you realistically assess the success potential of innovative products? This task is quite challenging because the Average Joe generally has an aversion to innovation. Therefore it is not really possible to get valid innovation evaluations from typical consumers. Only when we feel secure and have time to become familiar with a new thing can innovation become exciting and attractive. The “Repeated Evaluation Technique” (RET) was developed especially for the purpose of systematic familiarization with products to be evaluated. Subjects in an RET, for example, typical consumers, are encouraged to think explicitly and intensively about a product and its competitors. By forcing the subjects to engage with the material, known as the “elaboration,” the procedure helps consumers understand the product better and distinguish differences. The ascertained judgments come closer and closer to real everyday assessments that one would usually only gain after weeks and months of dealing with products.

For enterprise, how to quickly realize the selection of green innovative design projects has become a key issue for improving innovation performance. Based on an analysis of enterprise product innovation and customer green preferences, an indicator set for innovation performance in enterprise was established. Considering the fuzziness of the correlation between indicators for innovation performance in enterprise and consumer’s green preferences, a fuzzy clustering method was used to identify the internal relations among the indicators for innovation performance with green preferences of customers. Then a wavelet neural network was used to select the innovation design project for various green preferences of customers. Finally, a case study was proposed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. This work can help the enterprise to develop green design, products, and serve uniformly, which can effectively shorten green product development cycles, reduce cost, and improve enterprise innovation performance greatly.

Specific aspects of the innovation process that have a direct impact on the effectiveness of scientific and technical innovations are identified. Innovation management involves determining the algorithm for the phased implementation of innovative measures with clear consideration at all stages of such specific aspects of the innovation process: conceptual aspect (understanding of current trends in scientific and technological progress, as well as assessment of product innovation from the point of view of the manufacturer and consumer); strategic aspect and goal orientation; organizational aspect (effective management, availability of qualified specialists, flexible organizational management structure); time aspect (strict control over the cycle of creation and development of new products); cost (resource) aspect (achieving economic effect from the commercial implementation of innovations, justification of the decision on the source of innovation: the acquisition of a license or own development); methodological aspect (application of effective methodological approaches, systematic interaction of specialists in the field of pre-project research and design, relevant calculations and justifications). Particular attention is paid to the method of effective interaction of marketing and design professionals in order to form a system of optimal technical and economic indicators of future innovation. The statement to the designer of the project task, which is based on the consensus of market and scientific and technical interests, should be the basis of such interaction. It is proposed to make appropriate changes and additions to existing regulations governing the procedure for research and development.

With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, consumers ' demand for cultural and creative products shows a trend of diversification and individualization, and people are becoming more and more picky about the aesthetics of cultural and creative products. Cultural and creative products should not only carry the use function and aesthetic function of the product, but also contain rich connotations of culture and art. Due to the lack of systematic theoretical and practical support, most product designers design a product based on their own experience and inspiration. Such a product is difficult to accurately and efficiently meet consumers' consumption needs . How to let design students use innovative methods to learn design is an important part of educational cultural and creative design methods.

The problem that is often faced for small and medium industries is the limited capital they have. They feel unable to hire designers to produce innovative products. They also often objected to allocating funds to conduct design experiments that required a lot of funds that they found to be highly speculative. Many small and medium industries that are comfortable with their conditions, accept orders whose designs come from direct buyers. They only become producers who often have low bargaining positions in the presence of buyers. The price of production is even determined by non-producer buyers. As a result, despite the large number of orders, the welfare of business actors and employees is difficult to improve. UMKM Development Activities This art is done to overcome these obstacles.

Taiwanese consumer electronic products are favored by consumers globally, owing to the producing industry's ability to rapidly generate innovations. This study examined local consumer electronics industry enterprises for their product marketing strategies adopted to establish market advantage to deal with global competition. For assessing their product innovation approaches to marketing strategy, a questionnaire survey was conducted, and through factor analysis and cluster analysis these companies were classified into four different marketing strategic groups (Market Leader, Market Focus, Market Challenge, and Market Niche). In-depth case study was then conducted on selected companies in each of these groups. These enterprises in different marketing strategic groups each adopted a different approach in design innovation. More importantly, there exist tight relationships between enterprises in each group and their corresponding characteristics in innovation type, market goals, appeals, and features. This model of marketing strategic group and its matching characteristics may serve as a reference list. For example, a company may choose characteristics according to its current group; or, if a company is interested in moving into another group, it will know which characteristics to adopt.
