Definition
Product launch involves introduction of a new product to market, usually accompanied by advertising and other marketing communications. [1]
Launch control is the process by which management plans for and supervises the introduction of a new product. The product’s progress is monitored against pre-established norms, variances are detected, and corrections made such that the original goals set for the product are achieved. [2]
