VALUE TO THE CONSUMER (Superiority Premium) • Purpose of the Section • Explain how customer needs can be filled better than current options • Account for any barriers to commercialization • Estimate the superiority premium for the customer
VALUE TO THE CONSUMER Basic Logic In order to be successful, you have to meet consumer needs better than the competition. If your “better” product isn’t valued by consumers, it won’t sell. Lastly, you must know if consumers are willing to pay enough to make a profit.

MARKET BARRIERS Cannibalization and Xerox PARC The Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, often dubbed Xerox PARC, was started in the early 1970s by the Xerox corporation. Based on the East Coast, the manufacturer of copy machines felt that its core business was threatened by the emerging computer revolution, with its promise of a paperless office. In a very smart move, they set up a research center in Stanford Research Park, and hired talented computer scientists, many from the leading university, to invent the office of tomorrow. In 1979, when Steve Jobs toured PARC, the researchers had already pioneered several technologies that would revolutionize computing forever. They had a network of computer working together using Ethernet. They had developed object-oriented programming, a new way to write software much more effectively. They were working on the laser printer. But most of all, they had built the world’s first computer to use a graphical user interface (GUI), the Alto. The Xerox Alto had a strange device called a mouse, that you could use to move a cursor around the screen. You could open files and folders, copy and paste content inside them. It was simply a breakthrough. The Xerox PARC did not keep its technology hidden from outsiders. Informed circles knew about the center’s advances, especially at Stanford and in the Valley as a whole. Everybody pretty much sensed that this technology would have a huge impact on the industry — everybody but Xerox themselves. The conservative management on the East Coast never grasped the extent of what their researchers in California had come up with. They simply dismissed it as futile. The Lisa team was briefed about Xerox PARC’s technologies by insiders, including JefRaskin, the manager of the Macintosh project. Steve negotiated a deal with Xerox to be given a complete tour of the facilities. Here’s how he described his experience later: Within ten minutes, it was obvious to me that all computers would work like this someday. Steve Jobs in Triumph of the Nerds Several researchers and engineers were lured away from PARC by Apple, such as Larry Tesler and Bruce Horn, to develop a GUI for Lisa. The biggest challenge was to design an actual product, not a fancy prototype too expensive to build. After all, one of the reasons Xerox dismissed the Alto was its astronomical price tag: $20,000! That was twenty times as much as the Apple II. From http://www.allaboutstevejobs.com/bio/long/03.html

"Nerf has 20 or 25 feet." Marshmallow Fun has a long way to reach Nerf's numbers. Hasbro Inc.-owned Nerf is a powerhouse brand, with annual sales of about $200 million. Between new markets and the new blaster, Hasbro said Nerf sales increased 32 percent in the third quarter.
