Executive Summary Importance of New Product Development in a country is increasing day by day for providing product with punctuality at affordable price and always has to maintain superior quality according to buyer’s requirement. Anti Radiation Chip which is the new product of Global Trade Network is the hypothetical start up. It is a device by which radiation eradicates from electronic devices such as Mobile Phones during talking, Laptops and many other devices during operations. Anti Radiation Chip neutralizes the negative effects of EMR by changing the quality of the Electro Magnetic Field rather than reducing the EMR intensity Global Trade Network is a leading and dynamic company in the IT sector. It provides world class products and services in the realm of information technology. This company is preparing to launch Anti Radiation chip which is quite new and applicable for all types of mobile, laptop and many other electronic devices. Using this Anti Radiation chip people will be safe from the damaging effect of radiation during operation of electronic devices. By launching this product Global Trade Network will maintain social responsibility such as concerning people about the harmful effect of EMR as well. The Anti Radiation chip is based on a revolutionary anti-electromagnetic field technology with proven biological laboratory testing to eliminate damaging effects caused by electro-pollution. EMR is known to cause headaches, heart disease, Attention Deficit Disorder, fatigue, aches, pains, allergies, digestive difficulties and greater risk of diseases such as cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, spontaneous abortions, Alzheimer’s disease, hormonal imbalances and suicidal tendencies. This chip protects the user from the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) without disturbing the function and operation of our electronic devices. By using this chip on cell phones, PDAs, Bluetooth, Computers, Laptops and other EMR emitting devices in home and office, individuals can be protected from the harm causing radiations. To prepare this report we mostly depend on the experience and, secondary data beside this. We also use primary data are originated by the quantitative research.

New Product Development
Abstract Much discussion in the new product development (NPD) we are concerned with describing blueprints for more effective systems for managing the process of NPD. Features of the emergent pattern of good practice in NPD include cross functional team working, early involvement, effective project management arrangements and learning systems. However, there is relatively little concept in our mind on the implementation question; how a particular organization can articulate and embed the necessary behavior patterns with accompanying structures and processes needed to make goodpractice NPD work for them. This paper reports on a private firm designing and implementing a new product development like Anti Radiation Chip. In particular, it emphasizes the organizational development processes required to implement and develop ideas to enrich the product. This term paper concludes with some comments on developing new products with new ideas, and on research issues arising from the experience of our own.

2.2 New Product Development New product Development (NPD) is an important task for a company. Every product has a life cycle. So a company gets a little opportunity to carry on its business with a particular product for a long time. As a result a company has to improve or update its product to keep pace with the market’s demand. New product development is really risky because if a company fails to do well then it faces decline in sales and cannot go ahead from its competitors.
2.3 IDEA GENERATION
We are living in the soup of dangerous radiation. Research now links long term exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) with chronic health issues, from stress, fatigue to cancer. Overwhelming numbers of scientists now agree that EMFs created by cell phones power lines and other technologies are Carcinogens. But like any massive public health threat, Department of Finance

it may be years before the talk stops and the action starts. Considering the need of growing mobile phone, laptop and other electronics device users which emit dangerous radiation, a new and improved featured Anti Radiation Chip is needed from get rid of such harmful radiation. In this Anti Radiation Chip there are features that are experienced by any person before. From this thought the idea of this Anti Radiation Chip has came to light.
2.4 IDEA SCREENING We have considered many new products for development like Finance calculator, intelligent clock, Outstanding Battery etc. But we have chosen this product because of its usability, unique features and also this product will help its user to safe from EMR. Moreover, by concerning people about the bad effect of radiation we are maintaining social responsibility. We did not choose those others products because it’s demands, great investments. In this modern world of information technology such a product like this is really needed. Now we reveal the name of our product. The name is Anti Radiation Chip.

2.5 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Characteristics of Anti Radiation Chip:
There are some certain characteristics of Anti Radiation Chip which make it different from other chips.The characteristics of Anti Radiation Chip are given below:
It is easy very to use.
It can easily bearable.
It eradicates harmful radiation which is detrimental for human being.
It can easily attach with any mobile phone, laptop and other electronic devices which emits radiation.
It is skinny.
It does not need any extra power to work.
How it Works:
An American scientist, developed and patented a version of KERT ( K. Energy Resonance Technology) neutralizes the negative effects of EMR by changing the quality of the Electro Magnetic Field rather than reducing the EMR intensity. In the presence of external electromagnetic field, the chip’s KERT shield technology component emits subtle low frequencies (the ‘noise field’) of electromagnetic oscillations that resemble resonance frequencies of living cells in the body. These oscillations compensate and neutralize the harmful effects of EMR generated by cell phones and electronic devices while simultaneously providing support for cellular functions in the body. This noise-field technology was initially developed in a research funded by the US Army in 1986, as the Army was concerned about the effects of radiation from communication equipment on key personnel. The research uncovered the connection between the constancy in EMF wave and the cell’s trigger response. Then they discovered that by superimposing a random field on the EMF wave, the EMFinduced biological effects are eliminated. Department of Finance

Discount coupon will serve as marketing strategy to develop similar loyalty scheme in order to identify and stimulate brand awareness in the Bangladeshi market. 4.4 Sales forecast
Sales forecast is a statistical analysis very useful to determine the sales amount or product releasing. We can observe the previous attempt to release a new product and its particular response. Global Trade Network feels that the sales forecast figures are conservative. It will steadily increase sales as the advertising budget allows. Although the target market forecast listed all of the potential customers divided into separate groups, the sales forecast group customers into different categories. Reducing the number of categories allows the reader to quickly discern information, making the chart more functional.
4.5 Review and Control Anti Radiation chip will have simple, decision friendly weekly, monthly, quarterly, half yearly and yearly report focusing on –
Revenue and unit sales Expenses Customer feedback Market log (self and competitive major activities)
Control: Similarity or differences in assume production and real production Similarity or differences in assume marketing and real marketing. Revealing the fault in production and marketing. Take remedial measure. Control product quality. Maintain quality development according to price.
