This review is from: The Product Development Challenge: Competing Through Speed, Quality, and Creativity (Hardcover)
A series of excellent articles on the new product processes. Especially recommend the article on "Make Projects the School for Leaders". A prediction for the future that many companies are beginning to experience. Highly recommended.
