Analogies and mental simulations in learning for really new products: The role of visual attention (2008)
Journal Article
products: The role of visual attention

Really new products (RNPs) create new product categories or at least significantly
expand existing ones. The development of RNPs is a strategic priority for most
companies. However, 40% to 90% of new products fail, often due to consumers’
lack of... Read More about Analogies and mental simulations in learning for really new products: The role of visual attention.

Fears for the health of representative politics in advanced industrial
democracies have gained prominence in recent years with observers pointing
to a growing body of evidence that citizens are disengaging from formal
politics. One of the solution... Read More about The Australian public and politics on-line: Reinforcing or reinventing representation?.
