THE COMPLEMENT TO innovative products is innovative manufacturing. Defining fifteen hard and soft technologies, Paul Swamidass distills important trends in the realm of manufacturing and makes it clear that exploiting these technologies can reduce lead time, improve market share, and enhance quality. For design managers, the bottom line is a mandate to integrate this critical, back‐end dimension of the development process into their innovation strategies.
