The Law of Market Failure: Most new products will fail in the market, even if

competently executed.Using his experience at Google, his remarkable success as an

entrepreneur and consultant, and insights from his lectures at Stanford University and

Google, Alberto Savoia’s The Right It offers an unparalleled approach to beating the

beast that is market failure.Millions of people around the world are working hard to

bring to life new ideas. Some of these ideas will turn out to be stunning successes

that will have a major impact on our world and our culture: The next Google, the next

Polio vaccine, the next Harry Potter, the next Red Cross, the next Ford Mustang.

Others will be smaller, more personal but no less meaningful, successes: A little

restaurant that becomes a neighborhood favorite, a biography that does not make the

best-seller list but tells an important story, a local nonprofit to care for abandoned

pets. At this very same moment, another group of people is working equally hard to

develop new ideas that, when launched, will fail. Some of them will fail spectacularly

and publicly: like New Coke, the movie “John Carter”, or the Ford Edsel. Others will

be smaller, more private, but no less painful failures: A home-based business that

never takes off, a children’s book that neither publishers nor children have any

interest in, a charity for a cause that too few people care enough about.If you are

currently working to develop a new idea, whether on your own or as part of a team,

which group are you in? Most people believe that they either are, or will be, in the

first group—the group whose ideas will be successful. All they have to do is work hard

and execute well. Unfortunately, we know that this cannot be the case. The law of

market failure tells us that up to 90 percent of most new products, services,

businesses, and initiatives will fail soon after they are launched—regardless of how

promising they sound, how much we commit to them, or how well we execute them.

This is a hard fact to accept. We believe that other people fail because they don’t

know what they are doing. Somehow, we believe that this does not apply to us and to

our idea—especially if we’ve experienced victories in the past.Filled with detailed case

studies, a lesson on creating your own hard data, a strategy for market engagement,

and an introduction to the concept of a pretotype (not a prototype), The Right It is a

groundbreaking, entertaining, and highly practical book delivers a proven formula for

turning ideas, products, services, and businesses into successful endeavors.As Alberto

writes, “make sure you are building The Right It before you build It right”.
