I know I have to get new products into the marketplace, but I keep hitting roadblocks. Are there any good resources to help with new product development?

A: In 2003, consumer product manufacturers introduced 33,678 new products to the U.S. market, according to Information Resources Inc., Chicago. And the rate of innovation is accelerating. The 2003 figure represents a 6% increase in new product rollouts over 2002, and a whopping 94% increase in introductions over the last decade.
