Learning from New Product Development Projects : An Exploratory Study
Knowledge generation is a cornerstone of new product development and post-
projectreviews (PPRs) are widely recognized as a facilitator of project-to-
project learning.Empirical research on PPRs is sparse and so this paper
describes four in-depthexploratory case studies which look at how PPRs are
conducted and the learning thatcan result. The results indicate appropriately
managed PPRs can make a significantcontribution to knowledge generation and
exchange. In addition, the study indicates theurgent need for more research into
this important area
