Developing Special Product Development Models

Abstract

This development research aims to develop a customized product development model with a content structure: Model Name, Framework, and Procedure (explanation of steps in the Framework). This Development Research uses a Design-Based Research Model with the steps: 1. Identification of Problems and Needs, 2. Identification of Goals, 3. Artifact Design and Development, 4. Artifact Test, 5. Artifact Test Evaluation, 6. Artifact Communication. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires and were processed using descriptive statistics. Development Research succeeded in developing a custom product development model (Customized) which was later named the Collaborative Model, along with a Framework and Explanation of Research and Development Procedures to be carried out. Collaborative Model: Customized Product Development Model was developed only from the identification of problems and needs of a special product development model for the academic community of one university in Malang. It is suggested to the next researcher to develop a development model for specific products that begins with identifying the problems and needs of academics from many tertiary institutions. Collaborative Model: Customized Product Development Model is used by experimenters to conduct research and development. The pilots stated that the model was very effective. Collaborative Model: Customized Product Development Model will be very useful, considering that there is no similar model in Indonesia that is easy to understand and speaks Indonesian.
