Why you should read From Concept to Consumer

Phil Baker has helped many great companies bring cool products to market. He draws on his experiences with Polaroid, Apple, Fuego and numerous others to show you what you must do with your great product idea to make it a success. Baker takes you behind the scenes and tracks how product development has evolved. His most valuable insights include an explanation of why you need partners in Asia, where to look for them, how to select them and how to manage such far-flung relationships. His appendices are excellent, including the “Top 10 Rules for Taking Your Product from Concept to Customer,” an evaluation of products in relation to the environment, a list of helpful resources, and a look at China’s positive and negative impact.
