Abstract
Every company wants to launch the “right” products in the market quickly and retain loyal customers for a long time. So why is this so difficult for most companies? Often, product launch failures are due to such fixable factors as: poor understanding of user needs; lack of competitive analysis; lack of understanding of regulatory or channel issues; lack of up‐front planning; and poor cross‐functional communication.
