1. Abstract
A Product is a tangible form of Value; running a product-oriented Business requires:
- Creating something tangible that people want.
- Product that item as inexpensively as possible while maintaining an acceptable level of quality.
- Sell as many units as possible for as high a price as the market will bear.
- Keep enough inventory of finished product available to fulfill orders as they come in.
Products can be Durables (cars, computers, etc); consumables (chocolates, medicine); Products don't have to be physical (software, e-books).
Products are a valuable way to provide value because :
- they have potential for duplication (create once, replicate for each sell)
- consequently, products scale better than other forms of value
