A trio of experts on high-tech business strategy and innovation reveals the principles behind the rise of platform businesses, which have become the most valuable firms globally, including the first trillion-dollar companies. In the digital era, managers and entrepreneurs must navigate both the conventional and platform economies. Business-oriented platforms operate at the industry or ecosystem level, enabling individuals and organizations to innovate and interact in unprecedented ways, creating economic value far beyond traditional companies. This in-depth examination of platform strategy and digital innovation highlights how a small number of companies exert significant influence over various aspects of our lives. The authors explain the differences between these new entities and past powerful corporations, questioning the limits of their market dominance. They also discuss the role of governments in rethinking regulations related to data privacy and antitrust to curb potential abuses by these businesses. Their aim is to equip managers and entrepreneurs to build sustainable platform businesses that can compete effectively against digital and conventional rivals. Drawing on thirty years of experience studying these firms, this book offers a timely investigation into the economic and technological forces shaping dominant players like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google, and their impact on the global economy and fut

Yoffie (international business administration, Harvard Business School) and Kwak (research associate, Harvard Business School) use examples from companies such as Wal-Mart, Charles Schwab, Palm Computing, and RealNetworks to illustrate the ways that modern business strategy is analogous to Judo strategy, namely: use your opponents' size and strength to bring them down. The first three chapters lay out the principles of Judo strategy, movement, balance, and leverage, while the second section offers case examples of business people the authors call Judo Masters. c.

"The authors of the bestselling Competing on Internet Time (a Business Week top 10 book) analyze the strategies, principles, and skills of three of the most successful and influential figures in business--Bill Gates, Andy Grove, and Steve Jobs--offering lessons for all managers and entrepreneurs on leadership, strategy and execution. In less than a decade, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Andy Grove founded three companies that would define the world of technology and transform our lives. At their peaks, Microsoft, Apple, and Intel were collectively worth some $1.5 trillion. Strategy Rules examines these three individuals collectively for the first time--their successes and failures, commonalities and differences--revealing the business strategies and practices they pioneered while building their firms. David B. Yoffie and Michael A. Cusumano have studied these three leaders and their companies for more than thirty years, while teaching business strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship at Harvard and MIT. In this enlightening guide, they show how Gates, Grove, and Jobs approached strategy and execution in remarkably similar ways--yet markedly differently from their erstwhile competitors--keeping their focus on five strategic rules. Strategy Rules brings together the best practices in strategic management and high-tech entrepreneurship from three path-breaking entrepreneurs who emerged as CEOs of huge global companies. Their approaches to formulating strategy and building organizations offer unique insights for start-up executives as well as the heads of modern multinationals"-- Provided by publisher

The book introduces a revolutionary approach to competition, emphasizing the importance of leveraging opponents' strengths rather than confronting them directly. Drawing from judo principles, it provides practical techniques for companies, whether startups or established giants, to effectively compete against larger rivals. Through real-world examples from notable companies, it illustrates how managers can maximize their initial advantages, maintain balance in competition, and turn competitors' strengths into weaknesses. Additionally, it offers a defensive strategy to guard against potential challengers.

Tři velcí vizionáři IT technologií. Tři mimořádné životy, tři mimořádné zkušenosti. Jak se vize stávají skutečností? Tato kniha skvěle a naprosto přesně vysvětluje jak tři legendární top manažeři z oboru hi-tech změnili svět, ve kterém žijeme. Není jen o strategiích, které jsou vhodné pro technologicky orientované firmy, ale ukazuje, jak postupují silní, zapálení a erudovaní lídři. Bill Gates, Andy Grove a Steve Jobs uvedli v období mezi roky 1968 a 1976 na podnikatelskou scénu tři společnosti, které dokázaly definovat podobu hi-tech světa, vytvořily zisk ve výši mnoha miliard dolarů a přeměnily navždy naše životy. Jak se jim něco tak neuvěřitelného mohlo podařit? Kniha Principy strategie se jako první zabývá souhrnným pohledem na životy a práci těchto tří mimořádných osobností – zkoumá jejich úspěchy i prohry, definuje, co je spojuje i odlišuje. David Yoffie a Michael Cusumano, významní profesoři z oboru podnikání, studovali tyto tři lídry a jejich společnosti po dobu téměř třiceti let, tedy v době, kdy sami vyučovali byznysové strategie, inovace a podnikání na Harvard Business School a na MIT Sloan School of Management.

Poznaj metody działania najlepszych Billa Gatesa, Andy'ego Grove'a i Steve'a Jobsa i zostań rekinem biznesu. Pomiędzy rokiem 1968 a 1976 powstały trzy firmy Intel, Microsoft i Apple które odmieniły nasze życie i osiągnęły łącznie wartość ponad biliona dolarów. Ich założyciele, choć bardzo się różnili, stosowali podobne prekursorskie praktyki i strategie. Autorzy, wybitni profesorowie z Harvard Business School i MIT Sloan School of Management, postanowili je skatalogować i ocenić. Przez trzydzieści lat analizowali ich sukcesy i porażki, podobieństwa i różnice między nimi, co pozwoliło im sformułować pięć uniwersalnych zasad, jakimi kierowali się Andy Grove, Bill Gates i Steve Jobs. Książka dotyczy nie tylko strategii dla firm z branży technologicznej, ale w ogóle tego, jak pracują odważni, zapaleni i doskonale znający się na swojej dziedzinie liderzy. Muszą ją przeczytać wszyscy, którzy stawiają sobie za cel przesuwanie granic w biznesie. - John Browne, były prezes BP i członek rady dyrektorów Intela
