Built to Last:

The Offline World

Built to Rebuild (Fast):

The Online World

The name of the game is to consistently outplan the competition. An elaborate strategic planning process is important for long-term success.

With no time for elaborate planning (“be fast or be last”), frequent experimentation and adaptability, as well as locking in alliances earlier than competitors, are the keys to success.

Organizational growth is based on organic growth with selective use of acquisitions to fill pockets of deficiencies. (Post-merger integration processes are usually slow.)

Acquiring competencies, assets and customer base are far more important than organic growth. The definition of “the organization” is flexible, and hence, so is the design of organizational architecture.

Scaling up requires years of building up physical assets and brand equity.

Scaling up takes months and is based on information assets.

Growth is constrained by the limited number of available market opportunities.

Growth is constrained by the company’s ability to capitalize on the overload of opportunities (because of people, infrastructure, etc.)

Most successful companies are not founded on a "great idea.”

Most successful companies are based on a “great idea.”

Traditional offline innovation took years and emphasized sustainable and gradual innovation.

Marketspace still offers room for incremental innovation, but emphasis shifts to more drastic innovations.

High information content of innovation objects increases speed of innovation from years to months or even shorter periods.

Short history of marketspace means new collaborators and complementors become available frequently.

Exhibit 6–7: The Offline Innovation Process Was Internal to the Firm

The offline world views innovation as a funnel process with three distinct phases. Ideas are eliminated during each phase, until only the most promising remain.

First step: Brainstorm.

Next: Cull the ideas that are the most effectiveand promise greatestcustomer acceptance.

Finally: Refine ideas through market research, test runs,

and further testing of viability.

New Logic Behind the New-Economy InnovationNew Logic Behind the New-Economy Innovation

It is fundamentally shaped by the dynamic nature of online business.

New innovation frameworks try to incorporate the new focus on coevolution of technology and customers.

New innovation processes are emerging as applied versions of these new innovation frameworks.

High investment costs are a key constraint in the innovation selection process, and those costs are higher offline than online.

Innovation is no longer an optimization within given constraints. The fluid nature of online companies and abundance of capital mean the online companies do not have to focus on optimization.

The locus of innovation selection moves from inside the firm’s boundaries to the market outside. The company can get direct customer feedback

Companies use adaptive innovation, or a “sense and respond” approach, instead of trying to “guess right the first time.” Online companies are eager to innovate, and they tolerate imperfection.

Offline Trade-offs / Principles Supporting Funnel ApproachOffline Trade-offs / Principles Supporting Funnel Approach

Online PrinciplesOnline

Principles

Very high investments are required to launch new innovation.

Limited resources force choices about which innovations to pursue.

Trade-offs and choices are made inside the organization before products hit the market.

Time-to-market and first-mover imperative need to be balanced with the time required to gather customer input.

Launching early increases risk of failure, and flops must be avoided because of the high costs and damage to brand equity.

Moderate investments are required to launch new products and services.

Markets decide the future of new innovations, with no need for firms to make choices internally.

First-mover imperative can be achieved while continuing to gather customer input.

Beta versions allow for revisions and customization, which benefit innovator.

The keys drivers that determine the success of innovation and implementation are:

– Customer base– Customer data analysis– Knowledge management

« The performance levels of these disruptive technologies progress faster than market demands and will more completely fulfill consumer expectations later in the product’s life cycle.

The ability of online firms to rapidly and continuously adapt and improve has led to innovation frameworks that focus on the coevolution of technology and customers. Two frameworks are particularly useful in addressing these challenges.

Napster’s technology allows easy downloading, sharing and playing of music files.

Napster’s technology was not intended to be a major commercial product.

Napster has been adopted because of the sheer demand of users. In 1999 (the year Napster was launched), an estimated 1 million of the 10 million online music buyers were Napster users.

The behavior of music buyers changed as a result of this new technology.

Napster’s technology was originally developed for MP3 files but has already been extended to other applications.
