There will be more confusion in the business
world in the next decade than in any decade in
history. And the current pace of change will only
accelerate.Steve Case

Message Are all CEOs bozos? Was Darwin a
genius, or what? So, Boss Man, whadda you say

20
Good management was the most powerful reason
leading firms failed to stay atop their
industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested
aggressively in technologies that would provide
their customers more and better products of the
sort they wanted, and because they carefully
studied market trends and systematically
allocated investment capital to innovations that
promised the best returns, they lost their
positions of leadership.Clayton Christensen,
The Innovators Dilemma
21
A pattern emphasized in the case studies in this
book is the degree to which powerful competitors
not only resist innovative threats, but actually
resist all efforts to understand them, preferring
to further their positions in older products.
This results in a surge of productivity and
performance that may take the old technology to
unheard of heights. But in most cases this is a
sign of impending death.Jim Utterback,
Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation
22
BIG DRUG MAKERS TRY TO POSTPONE CUSTOM REGIMENS.
Most drugs dont work well for about half the
patients for whom they are prescribed, and
experts believe genetic differences are part of
the reason. The technology for genetic testing is
now in use. But the technique threatens to be so
disruptive to the business of big drug companies
it could limit the market for some of their
blockbuster products that many of them are
resisting its widespread use.The Wall Street
Journal (06.18.2001)

John Roths Rules Nortel1. Our strategies
must be tied to leading-edge customers on the
attack.2. Time cannot be sacrificed for better
quality, lower cost, or even better
decisions.3. It doesnt matter whether you
develop or acquire leading technology. Our job is
to provide the technology and products our
customers need.4. Success is achieved by leading
change, not waiting for it.5. We are paranoid
about our leadership willing to cannibalize our
own products to maintain our edge.Source
Abridged from The Wall Street Journal (07.25.00)
31
Our strategies must be tied to leading edge
customers on the attack. If we focus on the
defensive customers, we will also become
defensive.John Roth, CEO, Nortel
32
The highest performing companies have
well-developed systems for killing ideas their
customers dont want. As a result, these
companies find it very difficult to invest
adequate resources in disruptive
technologieslower margin opportunities that
their customers dont wantuntil they want them.
And by then its too late.Clayton Christensen,

Pharma Strategy Consulting Were moving from a
blunderbuss approach to laser-guided munitions,
and it marks a sea change for the industry. The
implications for existing business models are
devastating. Allen Roses, SVP Genetic
Research, GlaxoSmithKline minibuster. Rob
Arnold, Euro head of life sciences, PWC Once
you start dealing with minority treatments, small
biotechs who are more nimble and dont need
500-million-a-year drugs to make money could be
at a real advantage.
38
Pharmacogenomics could fundamentally change the
nature of drug discovery and marketing, rendering
obsolete the pharmaceutical industrys practice
of spending vast amounts of time and money to
craft a single medicine with mass-market
appeal.The Industry Standard (05.28.01)

Built to Last v. Built to FlipThe problem with
Built to Last is that its a romantic notion.
Large companies are incapable of ongoing
innovation, of ongoing flexibility.Increasingl
y, successful businesses will be ephemeral. They
will be built to yield something of value and
once that value has been exhausted, they will
vanish.Fast Company (03-00)
53
Lessons from the Bees!Since merger mania is
now the rage, what lessons can the bees teach us?
A simple one Merging is not in nature.
Natures process is the exact opposite one of
growth, fragmentation and dispersal. There is no
megalomania, no merging for mergings sake. The
point is that unlike corporations, which just get
bigger, bee colonies know when the time has come
to split up into smaller colonies which can grow
value faster. What the bees are telling us is
that the corporate world has got it all
wrong.David Lascelles, Co-director of The
Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation UK
54
Active mutators in placid times tend to die off.
They are selected against. Reluctant mutators in
quickly changing times are also selected
against.Carl Sagan Ann Druyan, Shadows of
Forgotten Ancestors
55
Chivalry is dead. The new code of conduct is an
active strategy of disrupting the status quo to
create an unsustainable series of competitive
advantages. This is not an age of defensive
castles, moats and armor. It is rather an age of
cunning, speed and surprise. It may be hard for
some to hang up the chain mail of sustainable
advantage after so many battles. But
hypercompetition, a state in which sustainable
advantages are no longer possible, is now the
only level of competition.Rich DAveni,
Hypercompetition Managing the Dynamics of
Strategic Maneuvering
56
The difficulties arise from the inherent
conflict between the need to control existing
operations and the need to create the kind of
environment that will permit new ideas to
flourishand old ones to die a timely death. We
believe that most corporations will find it
impossible to match or outperform the market
without abandoning the assumption of continuity.
The current apocalypsethe transition from a
state of continuity to state of discontinuityHas
the same suddenness as the trauma that beset
civilization in 1000 A.D. Richard Foster
Sarah Kaplan, Creative Destruction (The
McKinsey Quarterly)
57
The Futility of Size Regarding this issue
the new process of virtualization fully asserts
itself. Virtualization is the recognition that
territorial size does not solve economic
problems. Economic access must become the
substitute for increasing domain.Richard
Rosecrance, The Rise of the Virtual State
58
The corporation as we know it, which is now 120
years old, is not likely to survive the next 25
years. Legally and financially, yes, but not
structurally and economically.Peter Drucker,

The fundamental unit of the new economy is not
the corporation, but the individual. Tasks arent
assigned and controlled through a stable chain of
command but are carried out autonomously by
independent contractors - e-lancers - who join
together in fluid and temporary networks to sell
goods and services. When the job is done, the
network dissolves and its members become
independent again, circulating through the
economy, seeking the next assignment.

they didnt have to learn anything new.Peter

You must realize that how you invest your human
capital matters as much as how you invest your
financial capital. Its rate of return determines
your future options. Take a job for what it
teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a
potential employer asking, Where do you see
yourself in 5 years? youll ask, If I invest my
mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will
they appreciate? How much will my portfolio of
career options grow? Stan Davis Christopher

In Store International Equality, Intranational
InequalityThe new organization of society
implied by the triumph of individual autonomy and
the true equalization of opportunity based upon
merit will lead to very great rewards for merit
and great individual autonomy. This will leave
individuals far more responsible for themselves
than they have been accustomed to being during
the industrial period. It will also reduce the
unearned advantage in living standards that has
been enjoyed by residents of advanced industrial
societies throughout the 20th century.James
