Abstract

The majority of start‐up businesses fail, many for marketing‐related reasons. Estimates of the new product failure rate across all sized companies range anywhere from 30% to 80% or more, which is high even on the conservative side. These kind of results make one adage apropos: “If people learn from their mistakes, many are getting a fantastic education.”
