Abstract
A firm's new product development clockspeed is determined by the frequency of new product introductions to the marketplace. Using a simple analytic model, we derive an optimal firm NPD clockspeed that is driven by several external market and internal organizational related factors. Specifically, we analyze the impact of dynamic sales/demand curves and dynamic net revenues on the optimal pace of new product introductions.
