Business Standard

Most new product launches are unsuccessful. What makes the few successful? A key parameter of a new product&rsquo;s attractiveness is its degree of novelty. Our own research, involving hundreds of new product introductions in various countries, consistently revealed that a U-shaped relationship exists between newness and market success. Products of either incremental or radical novelty are more successful than products of intermediate newness. Products of intermediate newness appear to be stuck in the middle: too high in complexity, compared with products of incremental newness, and too low in relative advantage, compared with radical new products. This effect persists over time. Within this general rule, we find that in the longer run radically new products offer the best platform for growth.

Kerala Health Minister Veena George on Saturday said the state government is closely monitoring the news reports about the massive outbreak of viral fever and respiratory infection in China and said there is no need to panic as of now.
In a Facebook post, George said there have been no reports so far about any virus found in China that could become pandemic or spread rapidly to other regions.
As Malayalees are there in all parts of the world and expatriates frequently come to the state, including from China, extra caution should be exercised, she said.
"We are monitoring the situation in China. If an outbreak is detected that has the potential to spread to other areas, we can check its spread very quickly," she said.
The minister also urged people, especially pregnant women, children and elderly people, to take extra vigil and asked them to wear masks.
An official source said on Friday that the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is closely monitoring respiratory and season

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday slammed Arvind Kejriwal for building a "sheesh mahal" for himself instead of creating infrastructure in the capital during his nearly 10-year term as Delhi chief minister, saying the AAP convenor will have to give an account for it.
Addressing an event after inaugurating a working women's hostel -- Sushma Bhavan -- of the New Delhi Municipal Corporation, Shah listed a host of expensive items and appliances used in Kejriwal's official residence as the chief minister, saying he had never heard of some of those things.
When Kejriwal entered politics, he vowed not to take a government car or bungalow, and promised to herald a new kind of politics, Shah said.
But the AAP leader could not be satisfied by one, two, three or four bungalows, and instead built himself a "sheesh mahal" spread across 50,000 square yards of land, costing people of Delhi Rs 45 crore, he added.
The BJP has been using the term "sheesh mahal", a colloquial Hindi term for an

Travel booking major OYO has launched a new check-in policy for partner hotels, starting from Meerut, introducing guidelines effective this year whereby unmarried couples will no longer be welcome to check in.
Under the revised policy, all couples will be asked to present valid proof of relationship at the time of check-in, including for bookings made online. OYO has empowered its partner hotels' discretion to decline couple bookings based on their judgment, aligning with local social sensibility, the company said.
OYO has given the directive to its partner hotels in Meerut to ensure this with immediate effect. Based on ground feedback, the company may expand this to more cities, people familiar with the policy change said.
"OYO has received feedback in the past from civil society groups especially in Meerut urging action to address this issue. Additionally, residents from few other cities have petitioned for disallowing unmarried couples to check-in at OYO hotels," they said.
