Overview: Growing cost pressures, the demand for rapid product delivery, and the need to enlarge traditional markets or enter new ones are major forces affecting companies across all industries. Businesses are finding that it is often easier, faster, and more cost effective to meet these demands and enter new markets when they generate products in collaboration with partners. This led to a clearer understanding of the business reasons for collaborative product generation, strategies for choosing collaboration partners, and how digital tools and approaches can support collaborative processes. Some of the ideas, which have been discussed, include: collaborative partners can play strategic or tactical roles, strategic partnerships must be formed around consumers of the product, standard architectures can foster creative product generation.
