Increasing Returns and the New World of Business By W. Brain Arthur Presented by: Alexandra Mezhenina Vladimir Fedotov Yaroslav Pavlov
New reality of economy • Transformation from application of raw energy to application of ideas, from resources to information
Two economical worlds • World of diminishing returns • World of increasing returns
Diminishing-returns world • Commodities production depends heavily on resources and lightly on know-how • Diminishing returns and nearly perfect competition • Still exists in modern economy in bulk processing
Increasing-returns world • New rules of the game • Market became unstable, unpredictable…
The reasons of this phenomena • Up-front cost • Network effects • Customer groove-in
Factors of new system • Flat hierarchy, mission orientation, flexibility in strategy… • Because: • adaptation never stops • every participant of the process becomes very important
Playing the high-tech casino • Discount strategy • Psychological positioning • Cross-company mutual feedback
Increasing returns in service-industries • Services can also be described in terms of this phenomena • Two consequences: • A lot of small companies concentrated on one service • Winner-take-most
Managing two economical worlds • Do I understand the feedback in my market? • Which ecologies I am in? • Do I have resources to play? • What games are coming next?
