Analyzing new profit opportunities: a guide to making business projects financially successful

Winther, K. Tobias (2008): Analyzing new profit opportunities: a guide to making business projects financially successful.

Abstract

This book presents a simple, yet very powerful, conceptual framework, which can be used to estimate market sizes, prices and their interdependency for new products based on historical market data for existing products in related areas. Even in situations where insufficient data is available the methods can be used in a semi-quantitative manner to evaluate the market potential for a given product or find ways to improve upon the product to make it more successful in the marketplace. The methods are explained in detail, examples of practical applications are provided; and the foundation in existing economic theory is discussed.
