Summary:New technologies are having a widespread impact on new product development (NPD)projects. In the telecommunication industry, companies are forced to integrate ‘old’ and ‘new’ ways of working with the utilization of unknown technologies.

A proposed framework for analysis is followed by an examination of a specific NPD project at Ericsson.
