EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
our group has taken up the research to find factors affecting success of a newproduct , in the project we tried to find what are the important factors that
influences success of a new product and causes of fail if any.
Few of important factors that affects success of any product are brand equity i.e.
that what is the image of the brand by which the new product is lunched if its from
a reliable and famous brand then people always tend to try out similarly few other
factors which affects the success are reliability , comparability , price , etc .
We tried to analyze what are such factors from our respondent. We had taken a
sample size of fifty(50) mostly inside KIIT campus hence most of them are fall in
student category but there are also many other respondent like faculty members ,
as the sample unit within are known vicinity its falls in random convenient
sampling.
In our analysis we tried to find the swot and pest for new product and there
successes as there always possibilities of many when a product id lunched .
As from above its clear our research work is based on questioner method so it is
based on primary data collection but to have better understanding of the subject
and gain knowledge we have done a literature review where we have gone through
ten different articles n journals which are mention in our report in concerned part.
Scope of this however remain to some limitations as this research work confined is
confined to the KIIT campus and mainly to the student community only hence the
view expressed may not be same and applicable to out world perfectly.
Methodology as its has been discussed above our work is confined to this campus
so we segregated the data into age group , income , occupation etc then we have
analyzed our data with the help of SPSS and we anaylsed through techniques like
central tendency , correlation ,descriptive statistics, cross tab ect.
We have also taken concerned and related hypothesis which are proven either true
or false according to the result and out of our analysis .

DATA AND OUTPUT ANALYSIS:
From our concerned sample unit about 94% fall in the age group of 15 to 25 that
indicates most of our respondent are young.
When it comes to annual income 88% fall in not applicable category still they have
say when there family buy any product.
94% of our respondent show their tendency to try out a new product also we found
in our research work 78 % of respondent know about a new product from
advertisements and promotions followed by friends and magazines.
Most of the respondent want their new product to be highly compatible whereas
about 20% of respondent are bothered about price and 34% of respondent think
about durability as an important factor.
So from above data we can conclude younger generation collect most of their
information from advertisement and promotion , hence any new product targeted to
younger generation must be good in communicating to the consumer for their
grand success.
Also 98% of our respondent strongly feel advertisement for any product is
necessary. Also our research shows 67% of respondent from age group of 25 to 40
know about new products from advertisements whereas only 37% from age group
of 15 to 25. Hence that shows people in the age group of 25 to 40 go through
advertisement more.
14% of people buy a product when someone ask them to. 8% buy to gift and 42%
for their personal use.

INTRODUCTION
Whenever we go to a market we find some products which are new to us but are attractive butstill we are in a dilemma whether to purchase it or not. Some people purchase it and some not.
There is some kind of fear which catch hold of us while purchasing a new product in a market.
New product success always had been depended upon many factors such as advertisement,
better promotion, considering 4Ps of marketing and proper STP. SWOT and PEST analysis are
also done while bringing a new product in the market.
Things generally considered by market analysts while introducing a new product in the market
are as follows:-
1. 4 Ps of marketing(marketing mix)
a. Price- The price is the amount a customer pays for the product. The business may
increase or decrease the price of product if other stores have the same product. It is
generally a main concern for new product so price is one of the main factors which are
generally being considered while bringing in the market.
b. Promotion- represents all of the communications that a marketer may use in the
marketplace. Promotion has four distinct elements: advertising, public relations,
personal selling and sales promotion. A certain amount of crossover occurs when
promotion uses the four principal elements together, which is common in film
promotion. Advertising covers any communication that is paid for, from cinema
commercials, radio and Internet adverts through print media and billboards. Publicrelations are where the communication is not directly paid for and includes press
releases, sponsorship deals, exhibitions, conferences, seminars or trade fairs and
events. Word of mouth is any apparently informal communication about the product
by ordinary individuals, satisfied customers or people specifically engaged to create
word of mouth momentum. Sales staff often plays an important role in word of
mouth and Public Relations.
c. Place-Place represents the location where a product can be purchased. It is often
referred to as the distribution channel. It can include any physical store as well as
virtual stores on the Internet.d. Product- It is a tangible object or an intangible service that is mass produced or
manufactured on a large scale with a specific volume of units. Intangible products
are service based like the tourism industry & the hotel industry or codes-based
products like cell phone load and credits. Typical examples of a mass produced
tangible object are the motor car and the disposable razor. A less obvious but
ubiquitous mass produced service is a computer operating system. Packaging also

needs to be taken into consideration. Every product is subject to a life-cycle
including a growth phase followed by an eventual period of decline as the product
approaches market saturation. To retain its competitiveness in the market, product
differentiation is required and is one of the strategies to differentiate a product from
its competitors.
2. STP(SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING)
a. Segmentation Before launching a new product it is generally made to identify the
position where the new product is generally going to sell. Segmentations are
generally made into geographic and demographic. Now when a new product is
launched the main thing which is need to be taken consideration is which is the place
where its demand will be high and who will be its main customers. Which age group
people will it suite, whether they can afford are the main questions which are
generally need to be asked by the organization. It is done for the existence of a
product.b. Targeting -?This is the real goal/objective in market that marketer want to reach
while introducing a new product in the market.
As a simple questions are :
What percent of the population uses the product at all?
What percent uses your brand?
How does that compare to competing brands?
What is the demographic profile of the product category?
Which media reach the users of this category?c. Positioning - Positioning is an essential component -- and skill - in good marketing.
Perceptual maps are used to determine the position of a product, firm, person,
service or idea. Positioning maps, or perceptual maps can be simple, yet very
effective marketing tools. One definition of Positioning Theory is: the science of
perceptual strategy. It is based on a theory that strategy can only be planned in the
mind of the consumer, not the marketplace.
It is important to understand the levels of competition because positioning applies
at all levels of competition. For example:
Product Level (e.g., Pepsi vs. Coke)
Category Level (e.g., Cola vs. Root beer)
Corporate Level (e.g., Pepsi Inc. vs. Coca Cola Company)
Industry Level (e.g., Beverage Industry vs. Snack food Industry) .

3. SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats involved in aproject or in a business venture. It involves specifyingthe objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factorsthat are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. A SWOT analysis must first start
with defining a desired end state or objective. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into thestrategic planning model. Strategic Planning has been the subject of much research.
y Strengths: Characteristics of the business or team that give it an advantage overothers in the industry.
y Weaknesses: Are characteristics that place the firm at a disadvantage relative toothers.
y Opportunities: External chances to make greater sales or profits in the
environment.y Threats: External elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the
business.
Identification of SWOTs is essential because subsequent steps in the process of planning for
achievement of the selected objective may be derived from the SWOTs.
4. PEST ANALYSIS
y Political factors are how and to what degree a government intervenes in the economy.
Specifically, political factors include areas and political stability. Political factors may
also include goods and services which the government wants to provide or be providedand those that the government does not want to be.
y Economic factors include economic growth, interest rates, exchange rates and theinflation rate. These factors have major impacts on how businesses operate and make
decisions.
y Social factors include the cultural aspects and include health consciousness, populationgrowth rate, age distribution, career attitudes and emphasis on safety. Trends in social
factors affect the demand for a company's products and how that company operates.
y Technological factors include technological aspects such as activity, automation,technology incentives and the rate oftechnologicalchange. They can determinetoentry,minimum efficient production level and influence outsourcing decisions. Furthermore,
technological shifts can affect costs, quality, and lead to innovation.
So these are the factors which are generally being considered for success of a newproduct. Now in this research we will see how far this factors are applicable for success
of a new product.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Before our actual research we have taken into consideration of some previous research on
this or related topic. These research articles by eminent scholars will help us to carry outof our project successfully by carrying out their results and findings. The methods they
adopted and procedures taken will help us to compare about their findings with us.
The articles which are taken into consideration are as follows:
1) Controllable Factors of New Product Success: A Cross-National Comparison.
2) An Examination of Organizational Factors Influencing New Product Success in
Internal and Alliance-Based Processes.
3) Determination of Critical Success Factors for your organization.
4) An exploration of organizational factors in new product development success.
5) Effectively creating a product is not childs play.
While the new product literature suggests that manageriallycontrollable factors most strongly
affect new product success,few studies have examined how these factors differ across countries.
The objectives of this article are:
1. to develop a model ofmanagerially controllable factors associated with newproduct
success,
2. to directly compare the factors that managers perceiveto be associated with newproduct success in the United Statesand China, and
3. to demonstrate the application of variousstatistical analyses for increasing theconfidence. To accomplish our objectives, we develop a model of managerially
controllable factors related to new product success. The model is tested using data
collected on 142 new products launched in the United Statesand 470 new
products launched in China. Our findings provide important managerialguidelines- First, firms are advised tobuild appropriate new product development
resources and expertise. Second, a higher proficiency in marketingand technical
activities leads to a higher level of new productsuccess in both countries. Third, it
is important to collect and assess market and competitiveinformation in order to
understand customers' needs, wants,and specifications for the product.
An exploration of organizational factors in new product development success-This studysurveys a broad spectrum of new product development (NPD) projects with the purpose of

exploring the role of the organizational activity factors in the NPD success.Drawing on theresource-based view of the firm, the authors present a set of hypotheses concerning the
relationship between the people resources, development resources, testing resources, and launchresources committed to NPD projects and their financial success. In addition, the effect of the
firm's international market involvement on the NPD project success is considered the. The
findings of this study show that: the involvement of a strong champion, use of a multi-disciplinary team, and focus of a dedicated team are key factors for NPD project success amongthe people resources This study provides several guidelines like, It offers critical insights into the
identification of firm resources that influence the NPD project success, Understanding the role ofmarket diversification in the NPD project etc.
Steps In Launching Your Product- Effectively creating a product is not childs play. It is a
difficult task for you to understand your competitors success and strategy. Optimizing thesurvey results is important for a good start to your project. Make use of the right product mix and
position them well. Launching a new product is a daunting task as consumers are apprehensiveabout a new product in the market. It is important to drive home the positive aspects of the
product and Make the customers realize that it provides a competitive advantage over the othersin the market so that consumers welcome it with open arms. A look at competitors marketing
collaterals will give you ideas about how to market your product. To study your competition isalso necessary before you launch your product. Attractive and appropriate product packaging is
also important to attract targeted customers The competition marketing strategies should beconsidered before you launching your product. You should have a clear understanding of what
you must offer to differentiate your product from the others. The bottom line is that your productor service should be unique and meet the needs and desires of your best prospects.
Assessing New Product Development Success Factors In The Thai Food Industry-
The aim of this paper is to measure new product development (NPD) success factors in the Thaifood industry The quantitative research was designed based upon qualitative analysis,i.e. A total
of 114 questionnaires sent to medium and large food companies were returned (17.5 percent ofcompanies). Manager perceptions of what factors are important do not match actual practice very
closely, but they do report what is actually done in the NPD process consistently NPD is context-specific. The food industry is strongly market-driven, so rapid adaptation to customers is critical.
Strategy and planning is less important than an ability to remain flexible and move quickly inresponse changing consumer tastes. This paper demonstrates that what managers involved in the
NPD process believe to be the important success factors cannot always predict NP success rates.
Determination of Critical Success Factors for new product.-
The principle of identifying critical success factors as a basis for determining the informationneeds of managers. Five key sources of Critical Success Factors are The industry, Competitivestrategy and industry position, Environmental factors,Temporal factors, and Managerial position
(if considered from an individual's point of view).

There is also different methods for CSFs. There are four basic types of CSFs according toRockart. They are:
(1)Industry CSFs resulting from specific industry characteristics;
(2)Strategy CSFs resulting from the chosen competitive strategy of the business,
(3)Environmental CSFs resulting from economic or technological changes,
(4)Temporal CSFs resulting from internal organizational needs and changes .
While the new product literature suggests that manageriallycontrollable factors most strongly
affect new product success,few studies have examined how these factors differ across countries.
The objectives of this article are:
(1) to develop a model ofmanagerially controllable factors associated with new product
success,
(2) to directly compare the factors that managers perceiveto be associated with new product
success in the United Statesand China, and
(3) to demonstrate the application of variousstatistical analyses for increasing the confidence
that maybe placed in empirical findings and outline methods for assessingwhether significant
estimation biases exist in cross-sectionaldata.
Our paper should be of interest to new product researchers
and international comparativemarketing researchers. The implicationsof our results should also be of considerable value and
interestto executives faced with the complex task of selecting and managingnew productdevelopment projects as well as to those firms experiencing
international competition.
To accomplish our objectives, we develop a model of manageriallycontrollable factors related to
new product success, which includesvariables related to the organization, the new product
developmentprocess, and the product itself. The model is tested using data
collected on 142 new
products launched in the United Statesand 470 new products launched in China. We conductcase studies
to examine the appropriateness of the data collection methods,
to establish the
content validity of the concepts, and to assessthe usefulness of the measures and constructs in a
Chinese context.
The model was tested using EQS with covariance matrices as input.We tested the measurement
model before assessing the structuralrelationships. Once the measurement issues were
satisfactorilyresolved, the structural model was tested for each country individually.
Since the
results of the individual models for the United Statesand China were satisfactory, we performed
a two-group simultaneouspath analysis in order to test for similarities and differences
in the
-

factors of new product success between the United Statesand China. We tested whether or not
the path coefficients wereinvariant across the two countries using a Lagrangian Multiplier
test.
The challenge for all cross-sectional studies is to reject thehypothesis that many of the
parameters associated with the dependentvariable are biased by "omitted" firm level effects and
other
specification errors. We examine these possible biases within
the structural equationsframework by examining the robustnessof the parameters with and without the measurement
error interactionsfixed and an examination of nominological validity for each
country. In
addition, since we collected two observations perfirm in our Chinese sample, we also examine
whether bias existsdue to omitted firm effects by comparing within and betweenestimates. The
stability of the within and between estimatesalso suggests that our findings are robust to omitted
firm effects.
Our findings provide important managerial guidelines concerningappropriate managerial actions
to take in the new product developmentprocess for new product managers. First, firms are
advised tobuild appropriate new product development resources and expertise.In both countries,
our findings suggest that adequate marketing
research, sales force, distribution, advertising, andpromotionalresources and skills are required for proficiently conducting
market assessment
studies, testing products, and introducingproducts. Furthermore, technical resources and skillsare positively
linked with proficiency in conducting technical activities.
Sufficient R&D and
engineering resources and skills arerelated to proficiency in performing technical assessments,
designing products, and manufacturing products.
Second, our results reveal that a higher proficiency in marketingand technical activities leads to
a higher level of new productsuccess in both countries. The level of proficiency of technical
activities appears to relate more to the level of new productsuccess than do marketing activities.
Third, it is important to collect and assess market and competitive
information in order tounderstand customers' needs, wants,and specifications for the product; to know customers' price
sensitivity; to understand customers' purchase decisions; andto learn about competitors'
strategies, strengths, and weaknesses.In China, product quality is the second most highly
correlatedfactor of new product success. Therefore, firms competing in
China should direct their
marketing and technical efforts towarddeveloping quality products.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of our research is to find whether the factors which are generally been adopted by
industries while introducing new products in the market is reliable. The factors which aregenerally been considered by business while introduction of new product in the market are:
1) Segmentation, targeting and positioning.2) 4 ps3) SWOT analysis of industry.4) PEST analysis, and5) Porters five forces model.
In this research we will find out whether these approaches are reliable and are major factors forsuccess of a new product. The findings will be based on literature review of five articles by
eminent research scholars .
This research uses the research design in which the event under research is described and thenhypotheses are produced to explain it. The objective of the research is based on positivism is
within the scope of the research sampling frame to look for correlations describing relationshipsbetween properties. The goal is primarily to show causal or at least correlative relationships.
Sampling frame is collected from a wide population and it will be dealt with statistical methods.The results are statistical averages and other statistical measures and thus an individual company
might be totally different from the average.
Our research will have the following objective:-
1. To indentify influencing factors which customers considered while purchasing thenew product.
2. To find out perception of a customer toward a new product.3. To indentify the influence on choice of a customer on different variable like age,
sex, income.

SCOPEOur project confined to Kiit School of management campus only. We have collected primary
data from MBA student and faculty in the campus. As we all know that students and faculties ofMBA are aware of marketing concept for the success of a new product. Therefore it was easily
collect the primary data through questionnaire. So there is minimum error occurred whilecollecting the data. We are expected to get a rational decision from this research.
There are also some limitations of this research we have been confined to just student and
faculties. We didnt get other section of people who may have different views.

METHODOLOGY
Our research is based on primary data that is collected in Kiit School of management. So our
sample includes students and faculties of the MBA College. This sample is divided into various
segments
1) According to gender e.i male or female
2) According to income group
3) According to profession
We have collection 50 respondents feedbacks through questionnaire. 50 respondents include 38
students of MBA 1st
year which is further segmented into male and female. Rest 12 respondent
are the faculties of MBA which is also segregated into different income group. Among facultiesthere is also a segmentation of male and female.
As we had collected the data through questionnaire, it contains two kinds of question. We have
open ended questions and close end questions in questionnaire.
Data analysis method
We have use the standard software SPSS to compute various statistical techniques. We have
calculated the central tendency (mean median and mode), measures of dispersion and other
descriptive statistics.

FREQUENCY
We have taken a respondent of 50 persons in KIIT School Of Management in which 40 are
students and 10 are teachers. Out of which 10 are female respondents. We have selected few
frequency distributions which are as follows:-
1. age
Frequency Percent Valid PercentCumulative
Percent
Valid 15 to 25 47 94.0 94.0 94.0
25 to 40 3 6.0 6.0 100.0
Total 50 100.0 100.0
From the above table we see that from 50 respondents 94% of them are from a age group 15-25
and rest 6% are from a age group of 25 to 40. So the respondents selected by us are in age of 15
to 40. From this age group we will see how many people are generally prefers to buy a new
product.
2. annual income
Frequency Percent Valid PercentCumulative
Percent
Valid below 100000 1 2.0 2.0 2.0
100000 to 250000 1 2.0 2.0 4.0
250000 to 500000 5 10.0 10.0 14.0
500000 or more 1 2.0 2.0 16.0
not applicable 42 84.0 84.0 100.0
Total 50 100.0 100.0
From the above annual income table we see that from 50 respondent only 2% of candidates have
an annual income of below 100000. 2% lies between annual income of 100000 to 250000. 10%
lies between 250000 to 500000. 2% lies between 500000 and more and rest 84% are in not
applicable region which means that 84 % of our respondent are students who study in KSOM.Now from different income groups we will find out how different they behave on new products
in the market.
3. do you feel to buy a new product?

no 3 6.0 6.0 100.0
Total 50 100.0 100.0
From the above 50 respondent we see that 94% of the people feels to buy a new product in the
market which means that maximum respondents feels to take the risk in the market when the newproducts are launched.
4. how you discover about a new product?
Frequency Percent Valid PercentCumulative

magazine 4 8.0 8.0 96.0
others 2 4.0 4.0 100.0
Total 50 100.0 100.0
Again the question was asked to know how people generally know about or discover about a new
product in the market. From the above table we see that 78 % of our respondents generally
discover about a new product through advertisements and there are few who gets information
from friends, magazines and others. So we can say that advertisement plays a better role to reach
to customers when an organization comes up with a new product in the market. Promotion of
products are generally done through newspapers and advertisements and then they make people
aware about their new entry in the market.
5. what do you want from a new product?
Frequency Percent Valid PercentCumulative
Percent
Valid compatibility 20 40.0 40.0 40.0
price 10 20.0 20.0 60.0
durability 17 34.0 34.0 94.0
others 3 6.0 6.0 100.0
Total 50 100.0 100.0
Again the question asked whether they prefer compatibility, price , durability or others while
buying a new product in the market. From the above table what we find is the mix response from
the respondents but still we see that 40% of our respondents generally prefer compatibility on anew product. Price which is an important factor was seen important only with 20% people.So what we can see is that people today are more quality conscious than price. They prefer
compatibility and durability of a product more than a price.

We have calculated the mean median and mode above mention segments and we found out that
average income of respondents is more than Rs 500000. Maximum number respondent falls in
the category of not applicable group means they are not earning anything. The average age of
respondent is 15-25 years. This show most of respondent belongs to student group.
While calculating the frequency table for the question whether people thinks before buying
before the new product we found that 94% of respondents think before buying a new product.
We also discovered that 88% of respondents believe that innovation is necessary for a new
product and 4% respondents feel it is not necessary. Rests of respondents are unable to decide.
Again we have found that most of respondent get to know about new product through
advertisement in TV and newspaper (78%), 10% get to know from their friends and 8% from
different magazines
40% respondent believes compatibility is most important factor for new product success, 20%
think it is price and 34% thinks it is durability.

The last observation in this table is 98% of respondents believe advertisement is necessary for
the success of new product.
We are trying to analyses the age group with how to discover a new product available in
the market .
For that we have taken the help of cross tab in SPSS. In this age group includes only15-25 and
25-40. From this we get a number of observations which are as follows:-
1. Total 78% respondents get to know that about new product from advertisement in tv and
newspapers..
2. 10% respondents get to know from their friends. This also includes same age group.
3. Rest 8% and 4% get to know from their magazine and others sources respectively.
4. Age group of 15-25 gets information different ways.
y From advertisement- 37%
y
From friends -10.6%y From magazine -6.4%
y From other sources-4.3%
5. And in age group 25-40 includes
y From advertisement- 66.67
y From friends -0%
y From magazine -33.33%
y From other sources-0%
Again we have created a cross tab with annual group and reasons for purchasing a new product.
Same above cross tab we again certain observation which are as follows:-
1. 14% respondents buys new product when someone ask them to purchase. This 14%
includes various income group like 40% from income group 250000-500000, 26.62%
from income group 500000 or more and rest belong to those who have no income.
2. 8% respondents purchase new product for presenting a gift to someone. Among them
20% belongs to 250000-500000 income group and 16.7% belongs to no income group.
3. 42% respondents purchase a new product just because they had seen it in a store. Out this
42%, 40.5 belong to of no income group, 100% from both below 100000 and 100000-
250000 .
4. Last observation in this cross was in relation of price of a new product is only 14%.in thiscase only 16% respondents of no income group have this opinion.

MAIN FINDINGS
From the above tables and graph and hypothesis we find different results. Our main research is
on of factors affecting new product success. We have taken into account on different frequency
tables , hypothesis to know what are the factors which are generally responsible for the success
of a new product.
From the frequency table the following results were derived which are as follows as under:-
y 94% of the people feels to buy a new product in the market which means that maximum
respondents feels to take the risk in the market when the new products are launched.
y 78 % of our respondents generally discover about a new product through advertisements
and there are few who gets information from friends, magazines and others.
y There is a mix response from the respondents that 40% of our respondents generallyprefer compatibility on a new product. Price which is an important factor was seen
important only with 20% people.So what we can see is that people today are more qualityconscious than price. They prefer compatibility and durability of a product more than a
price.Again we have created a cross tab with annual group and reasons for purchasing a new product.
Same above cross tab we again certain observation which are as follows:-
1. 14% respondents buys new product when someone ask them to purchase. This 14%
includes various income group like 40% from income group 250000-500000, 26.62%from income group 500000 or more and rest belong to those who have no income.
2. 8% respondents purchase new product for presenting a gift to someone. Among them
20% belongs to 250000-500000 income group and 16.7% belongs to no income group.
3. 42% respondents purchase a new product just because they had seen it in a store. Out this
42%, 40.5 belong to of no income group, 100% from both below 100000 and 100000-
250000 .
Last observation in this cross was in relation of price of a new product is only 14%.in this caseonly 16% respondents of no income group have this opinion.
We have also derived several findings through use of hypothesis. Pearson Chi-Square helps us to
get findings from the 9 hypothesis we have conducted. The different results from the hypothesisare as follows:
y There exists a relation between occupation and reason for purchase of a newproduct in the market.
y There exist no relation between annual income and want from a new product.

CONCLU
SIONour group has taken up the research to find factors affecting success of a new product , in the
project we tried to find what are the important factors that influences success of a new product
and causes of fail if any.
Few of important factors that affects success of any product are brand equity i.e. that what is the
image of the brand by which the new product is lunched if its from a reliable and famous brand
then people always tend to try out similarly few other factors which affects the success are
reliability , comparability , price , etc .
We tried to analyze what are such factors from our respondent. We had taken a sample size offifty(50) mostly inside KIIT campus hence most of them are fall in student category but there
are also many other respondent like faculty members , as the sample unit within are known
vicinity its falls in random convenient sampling.
In our analysis we tried to find the swot and pest for new product and there successes as
there always possibilities of many when a product id lunched .
As from above its clear our research work is based on questioner method so it is based on
primary data collection but to have better understanding of the subject and gain knowledge we
have done a literature review where we have gone through ten different articles n journals which
are mention in our report in concerned part.
Scope of this however remain to some limitations as this research work confined is confined to
the KIIT campus and mainly to the student community only hence the view expressed may not
be same and applicable to out world perfectly.
Methodology as its has been discussed above our work is confined to this campus so we
segregated the data into age group , income , occupation etc then we have analyzed our data with
the help of SPSS and we anaylsed through techniques like central tendency , correlation
,descriptive statistics, cross tab ect.
We have also taken concerned and related hypothesis which are proven either true or false
according to the result and out of our analysis .
From our concerned sample unit about 94% fall in the age group of 15 to 25 that indicates most
of our respondent are young.

When it comes to annual income 88% fall in not applicable category still they have say when
there family buy any product.
94% of our respondent show their tendency to try out a new product also we found in our
research work 78 % of respondent know about a new product from advertisements and
promotions followed by friends and magazines.
Most of the respondent want their new product to be highly compatible whereas about 20% of
respondent are bothered about price and 34% of respondent think about durability as an
important factor.
So from above data we can conclude younger generation collect most of their information from
advertisement and promotion , hence any new product targeted to younger generation must be
good in communicating to the consumer for their grand success.
Also 98% of our respondent strongly feel advertisement for any product is necessary. Also our
research shows 67% of respondent from age group of 25 to 40 know about new products from
advertisements whereas only 37% from age group of 15 to 25. Hence that shows people in the
age group of 25 to 40 go through advertisement more.
14% of people buy a product when someone ask them to. 8% buy to gift and 42% for their
personal use.

SUGGESTIONS
From our research we can suggest different points which will help the success of a new product:-
y Companies should be more concern with reliability and durability of new product rather
than depending on to just price of the product. As in our research we found that price is
important factor but is much more important.
y Brand image of companies should be good because it put positive impact in promotion of
the product and its success. It is essential for a company to create a good image.
y People get to know from advertisement in television. So it is suggested that a new
product should introduce by television.
Last point the companies can target the mass of age group in 15-25. Young people are moretentative toward new products

LIMITATIONS
The research project made by us are from the data which we have collected from KIIT School Of
Management. We have not collected any data from outside the campus so the results or findingsare restricted to this campus only. Whatever the results or findings we got are of this college
only.
Other reasons of not collecting data from others is because of unavailability of funds.

2. KEY WORDS AND ITS MEANING
1)New product research- Successful new products are essential to a company's growthand survival. We believe "new products" to be one of the most important applications of
marketing research, but one of the most difficult to execute in practice. New products canbe concept-driven orproduct-driven. The implicit model that underlies the following
paragraphs is concept-driven (i.e., concept followed by product), but keep in mind thatwe can also start with a product and work "backward" to build a concept and positioning.
2)International marketing-refers to marketing carried out by companies overseas or
across national borderlines. This strategy uses an extension of the techniques used in thehome country of a firm.
[1]It refers to the firm-level marketing practices across the border
including market identification and targeting, entry mode selection, marketing mix, andstrategic decisions to compete in international markets According to the American
Marketing Association (AMA) "internationalmarketing is the multinational process ofplanning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas,
goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizationalobjectives." In contrast to the definition of marketing only the word multinational has
been added. In simple words international marketing is the application of marketingprinciples to across national boundaries. However, there is a crossover between what is
commonly expressed as international marketing and global marketing, which is a similarterm.
3)Ommited variable estimation- The parameter estimates based on an econometricequation are biased and can also be inconsistent when relevant regressors are omitted
from the equation or when included regressors are measured with error. This problemgets complicated when the `true' functional form of the equation is unknown. Here, we
demonstrate how auxiliary variables, called concomitants, can be used to removeomitted-variable and measurement-error biases from the coefficients of an equation with
the unknown `true' functional form. The method is specifically designed for panel data.

Numerical algorithms for enacting this procedure are presented and an illustration isgiven using a practical example of forecasting small-area employment from nonlinear

a binomial regression model. Here the observed variable for each observation takes
values which are either 0 or 1. The probability of observing a 0 or 1 in any one case istreared as depending on one or more explanatory variables. For the "linear probability

simple linear regression.
