I left The James Joyce Irish Pub (no, I didn’t start this journey in Dublin—I came across the pub in Athens) where I watched the football club that I support,…
My most recent book, King PONG: How Atari Bounced Across Markets to Make Millions, shows how Atari established not one but two massive consumer technology categories by adopting innovative product positioning and market development strategies.
