    Which of the following is NOT a common reason for

    new-product failures?
    A poor execution of the marketing mix Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B market was too biased Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The other three reasons why new products fail are (1) insignificant point of difference; (2) incomplete market and product definition; and (3) no economical access to buyers.
