These opportunities clearly exist, otherwise they would not be providing an income for so many people. However, to be recognized as segments of a circle of continuous value creation, they need reframing.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book offers readers an innovative and practical methodology to unravel a product s afterlife and systematically evaluate it for new opportunities.
