Abstract
Demands for more complex product structures, of shortening development times, and higher quality require reorganization of the new product development, NPD, process. Deeply specialized groups have to provide competence resources for operative use in ongoing NPD projects, but in the same time be alert on creating new core competences for future use. This situation demands new organizational means such as a network structure and virtual teams
