New Book, The Product Engine, Challenges How Manufacturers Manage Product Businesses
Ohio Pen/10343270

COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- The Product Engine, a new business book by Douglas Ringer, is available today in a Kindle edition on Amazon. Written for executives responsible for product businesses, the book explores the decisions that shape profitable performance long before teams begin executing a product plan.

Ringer argues that many product execution problems originate earlier—in how businesses define opportunities, select customers, establish economic expectations, prioritize investments, and govern a product portfolio. The book offers a business-centered perspective on product leadership rather than treating product management primarily as a coordination or delivery function.

Drawing on decades of experience in engineered products, manufacturing, and connected technologies, Ringer examines the choices executives face when allocating resources, commercializing products, developing differentiation, and balancing growth with returns. Its central premise is that product leaders must be business leaders—and that better outcomes require linking market decisions, product decisions, and financial consequences.
