Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

Product Roadmapping Practices has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, regulators, and practitioners concerned with product revenue growth. This growing interest reflects the recognition that product roadmapping practices does not operate in isolation, but interacts with a wider set of institutional and market conditions found within Osun State.

Within the context of Osun State, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of product roadmapping practices on product revenue growth, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.

This gap between practice and empirical understanding is the central problem this study seeks to address.
