520			_aThe article discusses how a company can manage the technical, market, organizational, and research uncertainties that attend new-product development. Certain assumptions underlie each type of uncertainty, and all must be tested in as cost-efficient a way as possible. Objectives for testing must be established beforehand. Lessons learned from the tests are evaluated, new assumptions are formed, and the process repeats.
