Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. After years of studying countless winners and losers, Coburn has come up with a simple idea that explains why some technologies have become huge hits (iPods, DVD players), but others have never reached more than a tiny audience (Segways, tablet PCs). This book argues that people are only willing to change when the pain of their current situation outweighs the perceived pain of trying something new. In other words, technology demands a change in habits. The Change Function is an irrevent, but highly insightful look at how this pattern plays out in countless sectors.
