The companies use different tactics to implements the best practices which was earlier identified in aims and objectives.

- Another problem for a start up company is to identify the customer needs and wants.
- How new product development is aligned with internal constraints and with external factors like regulations and competition.
- How candidate concepts for new products are generated or acquired.
Model of Best Practices
Research design and methodology
In this scenario we develop a research design model of best practices in which all types are clearly identified for the start up companies which includes visiting the companies, attending conferences, telephonic discussions and many more.
Analysis and findings
The analysis that we have identified form this topic that the new company must first analyze the market situation focus on their competitor products its features and design and they have to also analyze on the business plan which should be extensive and thorough so that they can achieve their target products.
The findings that we have observed are that the company must have a appropriate persons to perform a job and a strategy must be robust so that company can achieve its targets on time and according to the customer needs and wants.

For a start up companies it is very imperative to know that tactics to launch a new product that must be according to a customer needs and wants. Companies must also focus on the nature of the problems and the aim and objective for identifying a new product development for a start up companies.
In this, company must also focus on the business plan before launching of new products which includes a strategy, organizational process and many more.
In this we have carried out different best practices which include a telephonic discussions, conferencing and etc.
For a start up companies it is essential for them to identify the best practices in New Product Development because if they lack to do so then the entire process of New Product Development chain might not run in genteel streak.
Implications
I think that for a start up companies it is imperative to identify the best practices i.e. they must identify the right product according to the customer need and wants and the product must be made within the time and schedule.
Companies must appoint the right person who has skills to develop the product on time and save the cost of amount of the company which results in generating of revenue and market growth. Companies also appoint the team leaders to guide the staff during the development of the product. For a start up companies they also identifies a financial plans and sales forecast of their products.
Recommendation
The company should always focus on the over all system of the company and it is imperative that without having a good system company cant runs it system.
Companies needs to develop the long term strategies for good practices in a start up companies in order to accomplish their task. Companies must have to develop the extensive research to launch its product in the market after carefully study the competitor’s product its features and market growth which will help the start up companies to develop the strategy how to counter them in the market.
For a start up companies they must acquire a data and then analysis in a extensive manner which includes defining a problems and an initial proposal.
