:
Takeuchi and Nonaka proposed that product development should not be like a sequential relay race, but
rather should be analogous to the game of rugby where the team works together, passing the ball back and
forth as they move as a unit down the field. The rugby concept of a ''Scrum'' (where a group of players form
together to restart the game) was introduced in this article to describe the authors' proposal that product
development should involve ''moving the Scrum downfield''.
