Overview: Successful new product development is crucial for firms' competitive advantage. Despite various sophisticated methods and high investments, new products still face notoriously high failure rates. A very critical stage in new product development is product concept testing for the go/no-go decision in further product development. Since there is a high number of a different product concept to test, there obviously is a need for a reliable, valid and efficient method, which can benefit from the scalability and interactivity of Internet-based technologies.

Author empirically evaluates product concepts with information markets. Further, it compares the results of the information markets with traditional research methods.
