Inhaltsangabe

There are different levels of product success: Cool Products, Good Products, and Great Products. A cool product is one that receives consumer excitement when it is first introduced into the market, but fails to sustain that success in the market. A good product is one that can maintain a strong market position for an extended period of time. The lifetime of the product, the market share it captures, and the profit during the life cycle determines how good the product is. A great product is one that is "taken for granted" by others to create new businesses based on it - it is a source of innovation and a foundation for creating new marketplaces. A cool product introduces an exciting new possibility that doesn't quite have the market yet, but others may be able to create a version of it to build a good product. A good product contributes to a company's growth. A great product not only contributes to a company's growth, but it also contributes to the growth of the economy. 

Production evolution consists of two phases: 0-1 product innovation and 1-N product expansion. Product success in 0-1 product innovation is turning a cool product into a good product. Product success in 1-N product expansion is about improving market competitiveness, maintaining profitability, and prolonging the product life cycle to continuously make a good product better or to evolve a product from good to great. The product manager's main job is to lead a cross functional team to manage a product's success throughout its evolution.
