Is Second or Fast Second the Best Strategy for Big Established Companies?

Background   - Second or Fast Second Many large companies prefer to take “second strategy” to get the most of the market value the “first mover” may create without taking the risk the “first mover” may have.

Emerging Information Technology(EIT) Strategic Analysis Framework for Leading, Not Just Supporting, Business Innovation and Transformation

Executive Summary The Emerging Information Technology(EIT) Strategic Analysis Framework introduced in this article enables a company’s executive management team (e.g. CIO/CXOs) and enterprise architects to systematically: Analyze the strategic impact of an EIT on a business. Identify industry discontinuities and threats created   by an EIT. Create a strategic agenda to lead (rather than follow) industry changes caused by an EIT to a new business landscape. Gain a competitive position benefiting the company most in the new landscape. Create a new business model that would not be possible without the EIT. As a result, the company may win the present and create the future. Without realizing the strategic impact of an EIT, an industry-leading company may only use the EIT as a supporting tool to follow the industry change caused by the EIT into a new landscape that benefits competitors or newcomers more.   The framework contains three comp...
