The Use of Marketing Decision Support Systems for New Product Design: A Review
Product design is an important phase of the new product development process and one of the most crucial decisions in marketing.

Product design is an important phase of the new product development process and one of the most crucial decisions in marketing. In the latest two decades, a significant number of marketing decision support systems (MDSSs) for automating new product design activities have been reported in the literature and have contributed to the evolution of knowledge in this area. Since the insights on what constitutes the design of new products are constantly evolving, it is unclear whether research on MDSSs for new product design already covers all major aspects of product design. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the state of the art on MDSSs for new product design: What aspects of MDSSs for new product design have been addressed until now and which gaps remain to be covered? We performed a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles as published between 1998 and 2018 on MDSSs for new product design. To analyze the contributions of the papers we use the Formal Concept Analysis technique. Out of a total of 375 publications, 61 met the inclusion criteria.
