ABSTRACT
This chapter comprises three major areas: The results and findings of the research on NB HS NPD; The comments on and analyses of the research methodological performing; and Proposal for further research. The strong involvement of product development management was important in the discussion of relevance and priority of the suggested hypothetical models and processes to NB HS PD. It could be concluded that the research undertaken in the research project NB HS NPD fulfils the aspects regrading validity and reliability. This supports the credibility of the research on NB HS NPD and the results obtained. When summarizing on generalisation, validity and reliability of the research project NB HS NPDI claimed that the research was challenged with exactly the same problems. Because of considerable interest to understand the first phases of a product development project, this project offered more access to how entrepreneurs performed NB HS NPD in the initial phases of product development.
