The results are analyzed on the basis of a classification of reported objectives, measures, and their purposes of use. Results show that there is room for improvement in PM of NPD. The companies often rely on a few established measures in a rather unstructured manner Life cycle dimensions and multifaceted effects of NPD are not fully reflected by the measures.
