ABSTRACT
This chapter is purposely titled with a question mark, as it is written to assist and advise you, the reader, in determining if you wish to take your concept as developed in your coursework, profession, or otherwise to a point where you decide to develop your final product. It is written to assist you in the early stages of such an endeavor. Such stages include determining if you personally are the right person for a product development. Funding issues may be paramount at different stages of your work. Decisions will need to be made on how funding will be acquired for each stage of your work (if at all). Licensing versus self-development will be a major issue. Intellectual property ownership issues may further be a concern. Marketing of your concept and later (presumably) of your product needs to be considered.
