    Book Description

    An Insightful Model for Understanding Industry Change

    From Xerox to K-Mart to Sotheby's, great companies have failed to translate extraordinary innovation into better profitability. Why does this happen?

    Anita M. McGahan argues that great companies fail to profit from investments in innovation when they break their industries' rules for how change can take hold. In this book, she shows how to develop a strategy that is aligned with the rules of industry change. By understanding and operating within the rules, executives can better appreciate the tradeoffs that are unique to each company's evolutionary path-and consequently improve performance by making smarter, more profitable strategic bets.

    How Industries Evolve is based on extensive statistical studies of 700 global industries and more than twenty-five case studies. McGahan identifies four models of industry evolution-progressive, creative, radical, and intermediating-and shows how a company can diagnose which model most closely describes the trajectory of change in its industry. The book then explains how company strategists can use their understanding of this model to carefully coordinate choices about R&D, alliances, internal venturing, leadership style, compensation, modularization, and time-to-market.

    By supporting executives' efforts to recognize and respond to shifts in industry structure, this book will ultimately help companies to achieve and sustain superior performance.

    4 out of 5 stars Understand the Status Quo - then Blow it up!.......2006-04-03

    One of the first steps I take in analyzing a company is to timeline its' industry. McGahan offers up a detailed model of the various stages and life cycles of industries. Within How Industries Evolve, McGahan identifies four models of industry evolution; progressive, creative, radical, and intermediating.

    My recommendation is to read this in conjunction with Blue Ocean Strategy. Some of the concepts mesh well in that you are either leading or following at any point in time. It's also true that you must either create sustaining innovation or reposition yourself by expanding into new territory.

    Seven chapters create the core of How Industries Evolve:

    1) Introduction and overview
    2) The four trajectories of industry evolution
    3) How change unfolds on each trajectory
    4) Assessing the nature and stage of evolution in an individual industry
    5) Conforming to the rules of change within an industry
    6) Creating a business-unit strategy that exploits the opportunities in industry evolution
    7) Diversifying across businesses to capitalize on industry evolution

    No matter what your business, your success depends largely in part to overall industry dynamics. More importantly, understanding how other industry players think will go a long way towards achieving a distinctive competitive advantage - and keeping it.

    "Business Success through Innovation"

    5 out of 5 stars Academic but worth it.......2005-09-27

    This book was written by a b-school professor based on many years of research. The framework takes a little while to absorb. We read and reread the book several times. Once we "got it," though, this really made a big difference in helping us understand how our business threatened larger firms. We made much better pricing decisions after reading it.

    5 out of 5 stars Even radical change takes a long time.......2005-09-27

    The best aspect of this book is that it offers a detailed model for the stages of radical and intermediating change. It deals with the emergence, convergence, co-existence and eventual dominance of one industry over another. The book explains that each of these stages may take a long time on the order of decades. This provided us with a very helpful way of thinking about what is happening in our business.

    2 out of 5 stars Excellent framework.......2005-09-21

    While the framework is nicely structured, I was not able to get a good picture of how to implement the idea. As a startup's founder, I find the book of little help - maybe for established incumbents it would be different.

    3 out of 5 stars Interesting Thoughts on how Industries Evolve and Making it Work.......2005-06-23

    Prof. McGahan (BC and HBS) has written an interesting book on how industries evolve and how a business executive can identify those trends and make $ out of it.

    These are the key insights from the book,

    1. 4 types of industry evolution patterns - Progressive (retail), Creative (pharma), Radical (fedex) and Intermediating (financial brokers).

    2. These rules can be applied across core assets or core activities.

    3. Two categories of phases of changes - [Fragementation, shakeout, maturity, declining]or [Emergence, Convergenc, Co-Existence and Dominance]

    4. Her prescriptive approach to apply it to the industry,

    - Identify what is your industry
    - Determine Evolutionary Trajectory
    - Determine nature of change - architectural/foundational
    - Determine phase of change
    - Apply principles of competition for each type

    5. 2 kinds of tradeoffs - Leading vs. Following, Repositioning vs. Sustaining.

    As you can well see these perspectives are not driven from lot of data and hard stats but more conjectures and hypothesis that are not well proven. I am not sure using this approach will help you make $ of money of these trends but it can get you tenureship at the local university.

            Book Description

            One doesn't have to listen to business or political leaders for long before it becomes obvious how important productivity growth is to any economy. A leading factor that spurs productivity growth is technological change or progress.
            This useful new book reviews the literature on technology and economic growth covering historical and theoretical developments such as: new models for measuring productivity; sources of technological knowledge and technological spillovers, and stock market reactions to investment in technology
            Such a comprehensive survey is likely to be welcomed by students and academics involved in business economics, strategy and technology, as well as being extremely useful for public sector employees concerned with science and technology policy and planning and private sector employees in research and development.

            Book Description

            Radical technological changes (so-called "technology shocks") frequently disrupt the competitive market structure. New entrants appear, industries need to be redefined, incumbents lose their positions or vanish completely. Fast moving industries - like the often quoted example of the semiconductor industry - have preferably been analyzed for these phenomena. But do the findings hold for industries with longer development cycles like the global machine tool industry?
            Here, the multivariate analysis is used to find out what management needs to focus on in order to lead companies through the technology shocks. The research for this book builds on in-depth interviews with 100 experts and decision makers from the machine tool industry involved in technology shocks and statistical analysis of detailed quantitative surveys collected from 58 companies. In several instances the results challenge classical teaching of technology management.
            Adrian J. Slywotzky - US top selling business author and one of the most distinguished intellectual leaders in business - comments:
            "In Technology Shocks, Heinrich Arnold develops a very useful model for analyzing technology shocks, and for focusing on those factors that will enable a company to navigate through these shocks successfully, and repeatedly. Although this work is focused on technology, its thinking has useful implications beyond technology shocks. It provides ideas that managers can use to protect their firms when they are faced with any type of discontinuity, technology-based or not".

            5 out of 5 stars Navigate your company through Technology Shocks successfully.......2004-09-20

            What do best seller writer Adrian J. Slywotzky's in his highly recommended "Value Migration", McGraw-Hill Harvard Business School Press, and Heinrich M. Arnold's "Technology Shocks", published in 2003 at Springer, have in common?
            Besides that Slywotzky has written the cover note for "Technology Shocks", both books describe the danger for company leaders of not being prepared for the changes in markets. Especially when so called disruptive, novel technologies punctuate the equilibrium of the carefully established value proposition on the market. It happens to the machine tool industry as well as to the telecom, computer or biotechnology industries. Slywotzky described this with the value migration towards novel solutions capturing significant attention from customers. Arnold demonstrates that these upcoming disruptive new solutions ("Technology Shocks") can even have a value proposition disappear completely and wipe out the slow movers in industry. Where Slywotzky addresses the need of a broader audience to get entertained during reading, Arnold's "Technology Shocks" precisely X-rays the situation in a scientific depth hardly seen before. He has in a methodically excellent way extracted the wisdom of decision makers from three continents (North America, Europe and Japan) for the reader prepared to stay on the winning side. The final guidance of Slywotzky results in "pattern recognition", which still leaves the reader alone to give direct orders for successful guiding their companies through stormy weathers. Arnold's carefully evaluated data based on his scientific analysis given to scientists as well as executive levels alike. These careful data evaluation makes "Technology Shocks" so meaningful for benchmarking the own decision process even if your industry is not directly targeted in the book. It paves the road towards a successful business strategy avoiding the danger of losing the race of the survival of the fittest.
            "Technology Shocks" is not a book you can ready for leisure and feel entertained like in "Value Migration". It demands your full attention, but for somebody ready to read through it, the paid prize for the book is shockingly low for the value you can create with the conclusions you gain and empirical methods you are carried through. Technology Shocks win its audience through its scientific approach and analysis. At the end you will follow Adrian J. Slywotzkys comments on "Technology Shocks" and be ready to navigate through these shocks successfully and repeatedly - maybe you have to face them starting from tomorrow.

              Description:
              We review quantitative and qualitative research on the impact of IT on economic performance in developed and developing countries. In general, studies from the developed world have yielded evidence of a strong positive correlation between IT and economic performance, as well as IT-induced changes in workforce composition in favor of highly skilled or educated workers and organizational changes that allow firms to implement IT more effectively. To maximize social returns to IT investment, policymakers in developing countries must address two key deficiencies: (1) a lack of knowledge of ''best practices'' in IT usage and (2) IT-related skill deficiencies in the workforce.

                          The contributors to this volume discuss the lack of competitiveness of Eastern countries and their need for structural adjustment. The main issues considered are the problem of price convergence in integrated markets, the positive approach to foreign capital inflows, the problem of the current account deficit and the direction of strucural change.

                            Book Description

                            For over a decade, central and eastern Europe has been at the center of one of the most profound economic and political transformation in history. At the start of the 1990's, the region embarked on an ambitious reform program to depart from central planning towards more market-based economies. A decade later, and amid significant difficulties, the region has achieved remarkable accomplishments, with several countries becoming increasingly integrated into the global economy. Political structures have been transformed and new institutions have emerged. Indeed, the progress in structural reforms achieved in the region has been so substantial that several countries are now at the threshold of European Union membership. Aware of the significance of the successful integration of central and eastern Europe into the global economy, the World Economic Forum and Harvard University are proud to introduce The European Competitiveness and Transition Report, a thorough review of the transition process that has unfolded in the last decade. This comprehensive report presents new data and expert commentary on what the facts say about the enlargement of the European Union and the competitiveness and growth potential of both Europe and the candidate countries. It addresses the many important factors that will determine how these countries will fare in terms of economic growth over the next ten to twenty years. Written by independent experts, The European Competitiveness and Transition Report 2001-2002 is a truly unique data-driven guide that lays out the facts and reveals the real issues behind European enlargement.

                                  Central and Eastern European countries are entering the development race at a crucial juncture in EU enlargement and the wider phenomenon of globalization. In the face of hesitant and controversial EU policy, these countries need to engage sound development strategies. International production networks are expected to be decisive in helping them strengthen their competitiveness and establish knowledge based economies. Julie Pellegrin looks at whether and how production networks develop in Central and Eastern European countries and assesses their chances of catching up with the rest of Europe.
