Abstract
A new product development process is usually under economic and technical uncertainties, and adjustable to the arrival of new information. As a result, new product development is not a one-time decision but a dynamic process under uncertainties. This paper applies repeated real options to derive optimal decision-making rules for a firm that faces two repeated options: 1) an incremental innovation project that is relatively easy to be developed and 2) a radical innovation project that offers superior performance but its development is much more difficult. Our findings can help firms make dynamic investment decisions on coexisting new product development projects.
