The Change Function. Why Some Technologies Take Off and Others Crash and Burn. Pip Coburn.2006. ISBN 1591841321. This is the Innovators Dilemma of 2007. He pokes big sticks through Moore’s and
\nGrove’s laws, with a shot at Metcalf too. The writer was a UBS technology
\nanalyst for many years and has pretty well decided that technology
\nfails to really make the world a better place. Lesson learned, only 5%
\nof new products introduced each year “succeed”. Add to the gulf between
\nsales and marketing a gulf between research and development and huge
\ncolumn of empty air between these two large groups. Well written, easy
\nand quick, it still manages to put out a lot of hard information , which
\nwe can then turn into insight. We all need insight into why folks buy
\nand use or not buy and not use products. You need this book. Step one,stop saying sales process and call it the buying process.<\/p>\n
