Delphi Models
Ask the experts!
– A committee?
– Structured questionnaires?
Pros
– Field experts are often years ahead of day to day
practice: technologies do not “come from no where”
Cons
– They sometimes have little knowledge of possible
applications
– They can be enthusiastic

Exercise: Industry Evolution
Consider the two industries:
– Publishing (Books or music)
– Cellular telephony
For each industry:
– Sketch the relevant S curves.
• What are the appropriate (technical) measures of
performance? Are there more than one?
• Where is this industry now? Are there major growth areas
or discontinuities on the horizon?
– Sketch the likely trajectory of customer needs
Choose one industry and be prepared to present your
results to the group

Managing the change in customer
groups may be the hardest task!

Three key ideas:

– Controlling the knowledge generated by an innovation
Complementary assets
– Controlling the assets that maximize the profits from
innovating

74
We found:
75
Strategic use of IP?
76
Competitive interaction in IP
65% of surveyed companies report that the most profitable
companies in their industry “react aggressively to IP activity
by competitors”
But
– Less than 20% would attempt to “fence in” an aggressive
competitor by building IP assets
– More than 90% do not “always evaluate competitor reactions”
when filing patents
– Only 1/3 anticipate triggering an “arms race” if many new
patents are filed
77
So
But…
78
Uniqueness is powerful but often
difficult to maintain
79
What are Complementary Assets?
80
In the best case, complementary assets
should be tightly held
81
Types of Complementary Assets
82
In successful firms, competencies
create resources, and vice versa:

Standards and Strategy:
Competing in Increasingly
Open Worlds
104
What is a standard?
Eg:
– Cups and lids
– Pistons and engines
– Telephones and sockets
– Speakers and amplifiers
– Hardware and software
105
Questions:
What is a standard?
What are switching costs?
What are network effects?
What is positive feedback?
What does increasing returns mean?
What does it means when a market “tips”?
What is lock-in?
What is the significance of “winner-takes-all”?
106
Answers:
A standard is a particular interface, format or system that allows for
interoperability
Switching costs are incurred when a customer changes from one supplier or
marketplace to another. The greater the costs, the more difficult it is to switch
A product or technology benefits from network effects or network externalities
if a significant part of its value to a consumer lies in the size of its (actual or
anticipated) installed base, or market share
Positive feedback involves a chain of consequences that produces a dynamic
outcome by feeding off itself – an amplification effect
Success becomes self-reinforcing with increasing returns to scale. Demand
creates further demand
If consumers believe that one standard is going to capture a very large share of
the market, and that a competing standard is not viable, then the market will “tip
” towards the more successful standard
Lock-in occurs once a market has tipped. Switching costs may be high, and it
is therefore difficult to get a market to tip to an alternative standard
The Microsoft operating system monopoly exemplifies “winner-takes-all”
