      How many new products fail?

      If you said 80%, you certainly wouldn’t be alone. But is this fact or fiction?

      There are lots of myths that are imbedded in current marketing thinking. This is distracting and dangerous. This makes it important to look to the evidence in ‘mysterious’ areas like innovation, but also in those like advertising, media, and price promotions.
