An updated presentation of the short head theory which is kind of the opposite of the long tail theory.
The update includes the short head of mobile apps and 2 new rules of the short head.
The short head in general -
The long tail theory from the early days of the internet (2000+) claimed that “our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of “hits” (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail.”
The short head proves otherwise - in the last several years we have moved towards an even smaller number of mega-hits!
The present is not selling less of more - it is selling much more of much less!

The 10 rules of the short head / DLD Tel-Aviv 2014Dan Chen
How the Internet (combined with our basic human nature) turned our economy more and more into "the-winner-takes-it-all" economy instead of a long tail one – in music, film, t-shirts and mobile apps.
What are the reasons and mechanism and how can we avoid becoming long tail losers and become short head winners.
Now let's do some name dropping of what we will actually see in this presentation: Avatar, Italy, Steven Spielberg, Seinfeld, Steve Jobs, James Cameron, Friends, Netflix, Madonna, Busted Tees, Angry birds, Mark Zuckerberg, sneakers, Psy, 50 shades of Grey
Nine minutes which will change your perception of the world around you. It will explain why no one saw the credit crunch coming, why we have such difficulty aligning to stop climate change and why you are having to work so hard... With thought provoking comments and humour take a second look at the world we really live in.

The moral imperative for SaaS vendors is the idea that "what got you to this point, will not get you to the next point". Many founders/leaders of a company have achieved their success by bucking the trend and ignoring the advice of trusted advisors. This for many is perceived as having an ego. But this was needed for survival to make it this far. Then suddenly this method stops working. That point has come for many of us, as the problems we face today are far greater than any single company can tackle. It requires companies to work together as a team, it asks for die hard competitors (Apple and Google) to create a unified front, and may even require a joint venture between a multinational and a small start-up with innovative products. This is the time to put your ego in check and let common sense prevail.

right now where a
studio would rather
invest $250 million in

deeply personal —

historical — projects
that may get lost in the
shuffle because there’s
only 24 hours”.

lucky and the talented – and it is often hard to tell the
difference – have been doing better and better, while the
vast majority has struggled to keep up.
These same forces are affecting the music industry.
Indeed, the music industry is an extreme
example of a “super star economy,” in
which a small number of artists take
home the lion’s share of income.”
Prof. Alan Krueger

take advantage of the long tail as
well…”
