An introductory presentation here for business students outlining the relationship between business strategy and technological environment. The role of technological change as an opportunity or threat is examined as are the drivers of innovation and the process of diffusion.
These slides show how the challenges of industry formation depend on the level of complexity in the relevant products/services and whether a critical mass of users/complementary products is needed before growth will continue. While the formation of most new industries depends on when a new technology becomes economically feasible and thus potentially provides a superior “value proposition” to an increasing number of users, industries with complex products/services or that require a critical mass of users/complementary products before growth will continue face additional challenges.
Interop 2006: Evolution of the Networking IndustryAbner Germanow
This was a presentation from 2006 where (starting on slide 30) I described how the way consumer networking vendors built their products would ultimately upend the way enterprise vendors built products. Today, the hype around SDN, commodity switching products, and linux based network operating systems is making much of this come true.
This presentation was first given in May 2006 at the Interop trade show.
Slide 30, is where I talked about how the networking market would split from vertically organized vendors to horizontally specialized vendors. I predicted this transition would take 10 years.
At the time, the use of merchant silicon in datacenter and enterprise switching products was a rarity. Today, it is common. Then linux derivative network OSes were limited to consumer products, today they are taking over large scale cloud datacenters.
The networking market hasn’t come as far as I expected in 10 years, but it’s pretty cool much of this either came true or is on the cusp of coming true. Much more change is under way.

• Patents —exclusive rights to a new product,
process, substance or design.
• Copyrights —exclusive rights to artistic, dramatic,
and musical works.
• Trademarks — exclusive rights to words, symbols
or other marks to distinguish goods
and services; trademarks are
registered with the Patent Office.
• Trade Secrets — protection of chemical formulae,
recipes, and industrial processes.
Also, private contracts between firms and between a firm and its
employees can restrict the transfer of technology and know how.

Technology:
To Lead or to Follow?
The Strategic Management of
Technology:
To Lead or to Follow?
Key considerations:
• Is innovation appropriable and protectable against
imitation?
If so, advantages in leadership.
• The role of complementary resources
Followers may be able to avoid investing in
complementary resources due to better-
established industry infrastructure
Firm possessing complementary resources
has the
luxury of waiting
• Is owning/ controlling industry standard critical to
competitive advantage?
if so, advantage in being a leader.
14. Uncertainty & Risk Management in Tech-based IndustriesUncertainty & Risk Management in Tech-based Industries
Sources of
uncertainty
Technological
uncertainty
Selection process for standards and
dominant designs emerge is complex
and difficult to predict, e.g. future of 3G
Customer acceptance and adoption rates
of innovations notoriously difficult to
predict, e.g. PC, Xerox copier, Walkman
Market
uncertainty
Strategies for
managing risk
Cooperating with lead users
early identification of customer requirements
–assistance in new product development
Flexibility
—keep options open
—use speed of response to adapt
quickly to new information
—learn from mistakes
Limiting risk exposure
—avoid major capital commitments
(e.g. lease don’t buy)
—outsource
—alliances to access other firms’
resources & capabilities
—keep debt low
15. The Emergence of StandardsThe Emergence of Standards
• Emergence of a dominant design paradigm
– Model T in autos
– IBM 360 in mainframes
– Douglas DC3 in passenger aircraft
• Emergence of technical standards
– Emerge in industries where there are network
extremities
• Entrenchment of the dominant designs and technical
standards
– Learning effects: incremental improvement of the
dominant design
– Switching costs
– Need for coordinated action by multiple players
16. Sources of Network ExternalitiesSources of Network Externalities
• User linkages, e.g.
– Telephone systems—only value of telephone is connection to
other users
– Video game consoles—same platform allows users to
exchange games and play interactively
– On-line auction—value of auction depends on number of
buyers and sellers participating
Also, social identification—listening to same music, watching
same TV shows, wearing same clothes in order to conform
• Availability of complementary products, e.g.
– Most PC applications software written for Windows, not Mac.
– In economy autos, easier to get parts and repair for a Ford
Focus or Honda Accord than a Kia, Proton, or Lamborghini
• Economizing on switching costs, e.g.
– E.g. office software (Microsoft Office vs. Lotus SmartSuite)
17. Companies that Own Technical StandardsCompanies that Own Technical Standards

19. Fighting Standards WarsFighting Standards Wars
1. Determine the potential for standards emergence—
analyze network externalities
2. Building a bandwagon—enlist partners (requires
licensing & sharing returns from the technology)
3. Pre-empting the market—Build user base quickly: May
require sharing benefits with consumers (penetration
pricing)
4. Manage expectations (the Microsoft advantage)
What if you’re a loser? (a) ensure compatibility (b) go for niche
How can the winner sustaining the standard?
--Don’t fall behind on technology
--Ensure backward compatibility
--Meet threat of disruptive technology by offering
customers a migration path
--Reinforce standard with other resources—e.g. brand
20. The Conditions for Creativity:
“Operating” and “Innovating” Organizations
The Conditions for Creativity:
“Operating” and “Innovating” Organizations
Operating Organization Innovating Organization
Structure Bureaucratic. Specialization and
division of labor. Hierarchical
control
Flat organization without
hierarchical control. Task-oriented
project teams.
Processes Operating units controlled and
coordinated by top management
which undertakes strategic
planning, capital allocation and
operational planning.
Processes directed toward
generation, selection, funding and
development of ideas. Strategic
planning flexible, financial and
operating controls loose.
Reward
Systems
Financial compensation, promotion
up the hierarchy, power and status
symbols.
Autonomy, recognition, equity
participation in new ventures
People Recruitment and selection based
upon the needs of the organization
structure for specific skills:
functional and staff specialists,
general managers, and operatives.
Key need is for idea generators
which combine required technical
knowledge with creative
personality traits. Managers must
act as sponsors and orchestrators.
21. Strategy Implementation: Invention to
Innovation
Strategy Implementation: Invention to
Innovation
• While invention depends upon creativity, successful
innovation requires integrating new knowledge with
multiple business functions.
• Need to link R&D departments with other functions (the
problem of Xerox’s PARC)
• The role of cross-functional new product development
teams as vehicles for integration
• The role of product champions--in achieving integration
and counteracting organizational inertia.
