摘要
This paper shows the results of a survey of Spanish automotive suppliers on the use of individual practices and cooperation activities in new product development. Factor analysis and regression analysis indicate that some firm practices and cooperation activities explained the companies' differences in new product time and cost development minimization abilities over competitors.
