Dear James,
Crispin Hales's PhD dissertation may be relevant to your search since it deals with the effective management of design activities in engineering design. I'd say it qualifies as a formative 'real world' case-study of new product development that doesn't skim the surface. Interesting use of qual and quant data too.
