What does the future of business look like? In an informative talk, Philip Evans gives a quick primer on two long-standing theories in strategy - and explains why he thinks they are essentially invalid.

The content is great for those with a business background. Perhaps the speaker overloads the audience with business jargon, but what he's basically saying is "we are now able to collect data from cross-horizontal industries to make more informed decisions. And it will change the world."

+chaosjacky It is not hard actually. You should join what is called - Toastmaster's club and practice as much as possible. Then over the coming years, you should write as much as you can and speak those sentences to yourself and to other people. Gradually, it would happen that you can make your jargon full of more complex words. On the other hand, I would inspire you to think about this: If you are able to describe a complex topic in simple words, you are a genius. According to Albert Einstein, if you couldn't tell about your ideas to someone in five minutes, you have not understood your subject well.

1. Economies of scale and Porter's value chain are less important due to widespread data availability. 2. Technological advances in data sharing enable small firms to compete, leveling the competitive field. 3. The information economy is highlighting the challenge of balancing “richness and reach” in business operations. 4. With data richness and reach, companies can no longer rely solely on economies of scale. 5. Analyzing and using vast amounts of data will be crucial for future business success. 1. Economies of Scale - 규모의 경제 2. Value Chain - 가치 사슬 3. Data Proliferation - 데이터 확산 4. Competitive Advantage - 경쟁 우위 5. Big Data Analytics - 빅 데이터 분석 강연을 통해 데이터의 확산이 기업 전략에 미치는 영향에 알게 되었다. 특히, 데이터 분석 능력이 작은 기업들도 경쟁력을 갖추게 하여 시장의 경쟁 구조를 평준화시킨다는 사실이 기억에 제일 남았다. “The ability to analyze data will be a key factor in future business success.”

The essence is that: here's another beautiful promise based on technology (remember when they said we will work less because machines will do our jobs?). And big companies will continue to rule politics (equal the world) using big data generated by small companies. And maybe, lots of evil scientists will do mad things at very low cost. It's similar to eating (our) money for cancer research while a healthy life could prevent most mutations.

It feels like knowledge but when you eat it your hunger (for knowledge) is not going to be satisfied at all. Tofu knowledge. How do you want me to call YOU should you (inevitably) disagree with me? Would you prefer if I said "Fair enough, I did not convince you", or do you think it better when I say "You are just not smart enough to get my point"?

Not to mention the condescending "This is a fascinating talk if you are able to follow it", implying that if you don't like it it's because you are too stupid to follow it. Thank you for your kind consideration. Maybe YOU should have looked at what he actually wrote before telling ME what to do.

Right you are. A lot of mumbo jumbo with a bit of shaky predictions and there you are with a nicely sold renaissance of business strategy. If you think this through, there are a lot of holes and imprecisions in that. And all that grand splendor of words is derived from a few examples, whose analytical framework does not get questioned. And as far as I know, all these oh-so-horizontal companies still form huge, integrated companies and the military is not horizontal yet either. So I see no real horizontal movement here. And I do not see a reason, why more data should be inherently better than well selected data.

I'm concerned that Evans' concluding take away point was "makes strategy interesting again", as though business were sitting around bored by the already incredibly difficult job of making money. I think I'd have found this talk more interesting if he'd compressed the introduction, and discussed more examples of precisely HOW businesses are supposed to interact, or for that matter how a business can dis-intermediate competitors at various points of the value chain. The talk was too fast, and too jargon laden for my taste.

@erikvanvelzen 10 жыл бұрын

He should make his talk less abstract by working out his examples a bit more and linking the abstract concepts to events that happened or will happen. Especially what the "transaction cost" are in businesses is something I don't understand. Wikipedia Britannica is a great example but how does that translate to other businesses?

@ekbroker 10 жыл бұрын

In my opinion his initial assumption about transaction costs having decreased is fundamentally wrong. The abundance of data, computers and mobile devices has led to a situation where people get increasingly lost in these huge amounts of data, emails and information. Even intuitively we can comprehend this from everyday work situations: don't you feel that real (valid) communications and quick access to the necessary information has become more and more difficult within the last ten years? Managers have realized that they need to put away their "technology" and engage a lot more in face to face (not skype) communication in order to be good and effective leaders. He does make some valid point though that managers in the economy have to adapt to this new situation and include it in their decision making processes which at a large level is the business strategy. Businesses have to identify, analyze and adapt themselves to the new situation (where necessary) in order to survive in the market. Some big businesses did not do this as well as others and have thus vanished while others flourished. That does not mean that the theory of economies of scale are suddenly wrong. In concusion I think that Mr. Evans neither makes a valid point nor does he contribute to economic theory!
