New product development (NPD) is one of the most important processes for firms to increase their profit and competitiveness. This study presents the result of a comparison study between Taiwan and Indonesia industry in the employment of evaluation criteria for NPD process. This study is guided by a stage-gate process to derive a structured NPD performance evaluation framework. In this study, we use 20 evaluation criteria that are grouped into five dimensions, market-, financial-, product-, process-, and intuition-based measures. Based on a sample of 148 industrial firms, the findings of the study present guidelines for R&D managers as measuring product development and employing appropriate evaluation dimensions for effectiveness and efficiency in NPD related decision making.
