Thu, 26 Jun 14

Can you conquer the world by selling only one product? Not every company wants to diversify¹. Some prefer to do one thing and do it well, rather than risk diluting² the brand so Evan Davis and guests discuss the risks and rewards of focusing all energies on a single product range.

Guests: Vince Gunn, Managing Director, Crocs Europe Carolyn Komminsk, Head of Creative, Maclaren Bill Noble, Managing Director, WD40 Company
