International Journal of Production Research, Volume 45, Issue 7 April 2007 , pages 1595-16080020-7543http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00207540600942508http://hdl.handle.net/1826/3357Asian based enterprises providing high technology mass market products to the developed countries are competing in a marketplace where customers are demanding the highest standards of service. To develop successful product service capabilities - including technological change, product differentiation, timing, contingency planning, marketing and financial considerations, these companies need to fully identify the market stakeholders and quantitatively prioritise their requirements. This paper describes a methodology to identify the different types of stakeholders in the high technology product market and manage their requirements. The methodology provides a basis for sustainable competition that exploits global market opportunities and enables ultra-fast-to-market products to be supported at a level that meets customer demands. The case study application is in mass market electronic products; the potential application is wide.enRequirements managementReturn merchandize authorizationMaintenance serviceConsumer productsPostprint
