Product failures are expensive. And they’re common. Even the largest, most famous companies fall short sometimes when bringing new products to market.
Nobody needs these failures, but what choice is there? Few companies succeed in the long term if they don’t continually reinvent their offerings.
The good news is that many of the problems underlying failure are preventable. The economic attractiveness of new (and existing) products can reveal itself via thorough examination of market, channel and customer behaviors. Add an understanding of competitive action, cost dynamics and internal capabilities to the mix and you’re looking at untapped opportunities for new product concepts.
