Book cover of 破壞性創新的兩難
by 約書亞.格恩斯(Joshua Gans)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: March 9, 2017

《創新的兩難》作者專業推薦 這是破壞性創新領域在《創新的兩難》後最重要的著作! 許多企業面臨新科技帶來的的破壞,有些公司成功存活,有些則黯然消失,但他們絕非都坐以待斃,而是面對挑戰時心有餘而力不足。 ◎百視達與NetFlix 百視達於2010年宣告破產,許多人認為它是受到線上影音串流、隨選視訊的破壞性創新影響,但其實百視達早在2000年便推出自家的線上隨選租片,甚至也曾仿效NetFlix提供郵寄DVD服務。實際上,早在影音串流主導影視市場之前,百視達便已陷入困境,它的問題在於無法突破既有商業組織結構,而非僅因為新科技帶來的破壞性創新。 ◎柯達與手機拍照 柯達於2012年宣告破產,罪魁禍首是數位科技及其為相片產業帶來的改變。但柯達早在1990年代便密切注意數位科技,甚至在2005年時成為美國市場龍頭。柯達有能力預測市場,並對破壞性創新進行鉅額投資,卻沒有料想到應該把手機列入技術提升的項目當中。顯然單是預見破壞、自我破壞,並不足以保障一家公司不會失敗。 眾多現實案例足以指出,「創新的兩難」需要更多的解答,其中的關鍵就在這本書! 本書作者提出「供給面破壞」這項對企業威脅更大的創新,並說明如何正確辨識出來與應對,以克服產品架構破壞所帶來的威脅,找出讓公司挺過破壞的長期生存之道! 【誠摯推薦】 台大管理學院院長 郭瑞祥 上銀集團總裁...
