Best Answer

It may not be cost-effective enough. Never forget that it's all about profit in business so a new product idea should:

1. Appeal to a very wide range of potential customers.

2. Be relatively cheap to manufacture.

3. Be protectable (patent or otherwise).

Why is the government the only one in the economy that can provide public goods?

They're not the only one that can, but a firm won't because it is not efficient for them to provide a public good. Public goods are attached to a free-rider problem, in which agent's (actors) in the economy do not want to pay for the good because it will be available to them regardless of their contribution. Remember, two aspects of public goods is their non-excludability, which means that no one is blocked from using them and public goods are non-rival, which means one person's enjoyment of them does not inhibit another's use. A firm, wishing only to maximize profits will not produce public goods, because a public good's optimal production lies at a point which would cause the firm to incur loss. This is the main idea, for a technical proof of this, an understanding of marginal rates of substitution and deriving optimal first order conditions are needed, however to understand the intuition, or idea behind it, is enough.

Seven phases to new product development?

The Seven Phases of New Product Development: 1. Idea Generation-looking for product ideas that will help a firm to achieve its objectives. 2. Screening-a firm's managers consider whether the organization has personnel with the expertise to develop and market the proposed product. 3. Concept Testing-product idea is presented to a small sample of potential buyers through a written or oral description to determine their attitudes and initial buying intentions regarding the product. 4. Business Analysis-provides tentative ideas about a potential product's financial performance, including probable profitability. The firm considers how the new product would affect the firm's sales, costs, and profits if it were introduced. 5. Product Development-the company must find out if it is technically feasible to produce the product and then if the product can be made at costs low enough to justify a reasonable price. It is then transformed into a prototype. 6. Test Marketing-the limited introduction of a product in several towns or cities chosen to be representative of the intended target market. Its aim is to determine buyers' probable reactions. 7. Commercialization-plans for full‐scale manufacturing and marketing must be refined and completed, and budgets for the project must be prepared.
