The aim of both surveys was to determine which success aspects the company should rely on, and which are the most important for successful product development and market launch.

Ekspozicinės lentynos kūrimas ir išleidimas į rinką


Santrauka


Šiuolaikinėje rinkoje vyrauja labai intensyvi konkurencija: nuolat besikeičiančios rinkos tendencijos ir nepastovūs, nenuspėjami klientų norai trumpina produkto gyvavimo ciklą. Šio straipsnio tikslas yra išnagrinėti profesionalių virtuvių įrangos gamintojų rinką bei nustatyti pagrindinius aspektus, kurie galėtų būti raktas į sėkmingą ekspozinės lentynos išleidimą į rinką. Šio empirinio tyrimo pagrindą sudaro apklausos klientams ir įmonėms, kurios specializuojasi šioje pramonės srityje. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiami įmonių, kurios specializuojasi profesionalios virtuvės įrangos gamyboje, apklausos rezultatai, taip pat tokiais gaminiais besidominčių klientų apklausos rezultatai. Abiejų apklausų tikslas buvo nustatyti, kokiais sėkmės aspektais įmonė turėtų pasikliauti, siekdama sėkmingo produkto kūrimo ir išleidimo į rinką. Remiantis tyrimo rezultatais ir surinkta informacija, buvo sukurtas ir pristatytas modelis, kurį taikant galima tikėtis sėkmingo ekspozcinės lentynos kūrimo ir išleidimo į rinką. Tai hibridinio tipo modelis, kuris yra sudarytas iš 7 etapų, kurių kiekvienas taip pat turi fazę, kurioje kiekvieną kartą yra vertinamas projektas. Šis modelis yra rekomendacinio pobūdžio, kaip išleisti naujai sukurtą produktą į rinką, arba gali padėti identifikuoti probleminius klausimus vykstančiame procese.
