people, and ideas move freely across
geographic borders. It generally refers to the
economy, which is based on economies of allof the world's countries.
Technology &Technological

� Radio took 22 years
� Personal computers took 16 years
� Internet took 7 years
� 12 to 18 months to gather information about competitors R&D and

The Korean Conquest:
How LG and Samsung won over the Indian market

of their core objectives.
� 360 degree approach has to be employed to keep the customerhappy.

Barco vs. Sony
� Till 1980s, Barco was perceived as leader in projection system products.
� In 1989, Sony introduced a better graphics projector.
� Barco used to follow market skimming strategy.
� Barco was investing on R&D for video projector, but it was perceived that itwould be of lower quality than Sonys.
� So, Barco stopped working on that projector, even after spending a goodamount of R&D.
� Barco introduced a new projector, which outperformed Sonys.
� Learnings: ± Competitors have certain strengths and limitations. To succeed, a firm must leverage its own
unique abilities.
± A firm should have a defense strategy before potential threat arrives. ± If competition surprises a firm with introduction of a superior product, the firm should resist
the temptation to proceed with its mediocre product.
± The competitions probable response to a firms actions
should be considered.
