Enhancing Product UpgradaProduct Modular Enhancement Framework (PMEF): A New Approach to Product Upgradationtion: A Study on theModular Enhancement Framework (MEF)

Background In today’s rapidly evolving and highly competitive market, the ability to upgrade existing products is essential for companies to maintain their market position and meet changing customer needs. By discovering new methods, we can implement changes more swiftly and with fewer resources, minimizing the risk of widespread issues and ensuring that upgrades are more manageable. Objective The objective is to develop a simple product enhancement framework for product upgradation. This framework aims to offer greater flexibility, faster implementation, and efficient resource allocation, making it an attractive option for companies looking to enhance their product offerings. Methods An analysis was conducted on the data provided by leading manufacturers worldwide regarding their recent product upgrades. This analysis encom- passed the product upgradation process, the outcomes of these upgrades, market research reports, competitor analysis, customer feedback, and internal company documents. From the data gathered, we identified gaps in the product upgradation process and the reasons for failures, leading to the development of a universal framework. Results The proposed Product Modular Enhancement Framework (PMEF) provides notable benefits in terms of flexibility, efficiency, and scalability. Its modular structure allows for independent upgrades, minimizing the risk of widespread issues and facilitating quicker implementation. Conclusion The PMEF represents a promising approach to product upgradation, offering a structured and innovative solution to meet the demands of a dynamic market. While the framework presents several benefits, it also requires meticulous planning and execution to address challenges such as module integration and resource allocation.

A Retrospective Study of the Adverse Events Associated With Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids in the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) Database.

To examine the adverse events reported in the United States Food and Drug Administration(USFDA)'s Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database for over-the-counter (OTC) or non-prescription hearing aids. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed using the USFDA's MAUDE database from January 2014 to August 2024. Adverse events were identified using the product codes (QUF, QUG, and QUH) and the keywords ("Hearing Aid, Air-Conduction with Wireless Technology, Over the Counter, Hearing Aid, Air-Conduction, Over the Counter, and Self-Fitting Air-Conduction Hearing Aid, Over the Counter"). Exclusion criteria included reports unrelated to OTC hearing aids and the usage of the device, or those providing insufficient information. The incidence of adverse events was estimated using data from market research reports. A total of 25 adverse events were identified, with 17 reports meeting the inclusion criteria. Medical device reports (MDRs) were available for 2022 (n=1), 2023 (n=9), and 2024 (n=7). Eighteen(60.0%) reports were related to device malfunction, six (20.0%) were regarding poor customer service, three (10.0%) referred to medical adverse events, two (6.7%) were associated withfailure to provide hearing benefits, and one (3.3%) referred to incompatibility with other medical equipment. Nine (30.0%) of the device malfunction reports were due topoor construction or the device falling apart, with eight (88.9%) of those cases resulting in foreign bodies in the ear. The incidence rate of adverse events for OTC hearing aids was calculated as 0.00132%. There is a low reported incidence of adverse events associated with OTC hearing aids. Possible poor construction of the device and its falling apart, resulting in foreign bodies in the ear, and poor customer service were commonly reported as adverse events. This information can aid providers in advising patients and managing expectations. However, more robust studies are needed to monitor adverse events associated with OTC hearing aids.

Sales rate forecasting of single-detached houses using artificial neural network technique

Although the predicted number of sold units per month is one of the most necessary information to study the feasibility of detached-housing estate projects, traditional forecasting methods are limited. The research objective was to apply the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique to develop a sales rate forecasting model by compiling factors from an appropriate literature review. Then, 100 housing project data were collected from market research reports and the projects' websites and analyzed using the ANN technique. The results showed the ANN network with 16 input nodes from 10 factors: Selling price, Number of bathrooms, Number of bedrooms, Distance from the main road, Distance from the bus stop, Distance from the expressway, Distance from the metro station, Distance from the gas station, Distance from the shopping mall, and Project location zone. The acquired model had a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of ±6.296, and the slope and R2 values of the linear regression analysis between the forecasted rate and the actual rate were 0.620 and 0.571, respectively. The findings guide real estate developers and academia on the factors affecting the sales rate and provide a decision support model for investment and design of projects and confirm the potential of ANN in solving the problem with limited numbers of data.

Impact of the Pandemic on Consumer Behavior and Business Strategy in India

The COVID-19 pandemic that engulfed the entire world since the beginning of 2020 forced consumers to learn the new ways of life and unlearn the existing habits within the paradigm of time flexibility but location rigidity. As consumers adapt to the ‘new normal’ of life, they embrace new digital technologies to facilitate work, study, and consumption in a more convenient manner. These newly adopted habits are visible not only at the home front but also in public places in the form of using safety gears (masks, sanitizers) and using digital platforms (to ensure social distancing). The COVID-19 protocols have led to significant disruptions in consumer behavior and consequent responses of companies in the form of their preparedness for new norms of consumer behavior. This, in turn, is posing a challenge for the future sustainability and viability of businesses, necessitating strategic changes in the business model and the marketing strategies to remain apt to consumers’ current and future needs. Companies that were unable to adjust and adapt to these sudden changes posed by the pandemic perished very soon. The present paper investigated the impact of the pandemic on the behavior of Indian consumers and their consumption habits. Though there are many studies on epidemics and pandemics, their focus is mainly on the macro-issues of the economy. The present study tried to fill this research void by analyzing the behavior of consumers in India during the pandemic, as pointed out in the market research reports by prominent research analyst firms. The paper also highlighted the implications of the changed consumer behavior for marketers in the future.
