Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
What will generate more benefits for a company – regularly upgrading to a new business model or attempting to enhance the efficiency of the way the company currently operates?
The most successful companies are those that are consistently experimenting to improve and reinvent their business models. This usually has the potential to generate far more substantial increases in revenues and profits than any amount of fine tuning of an existing business model will ever produce. In practice, companies tend to go through a sequence of four steps:
Business model obsolescence is the major unperceived opportunity for and threat to all businesses now. Right now, you are probably ignoring a competitive vulnerability that can literally put you out of business in the next few years. Existing business models in most companies change only every few decades, if ever. Continuation of this trend means that improved business models will replace technology as the most frequent and most powerful source of business disruptions. This shift will occur because most business model improvements can be designed and implemented faster than new generations of technology. Because of the huge rewards for business model innovation, major generations of new business models will probably emerge in each industry.
