  21. The Destruction Imperative.

  22. Forbes100 from 1917 to 1987: 39 members of the Class of ’17 were alive in ’87; 18 in ’87 F100; 18 F100 “survivors” underperformed the market by 20%; just 2 (2%), GE & Kodak, outperformed the market 1917 to 1987.S&P 500 from 1957 to 1997: 74 members of the Class of ’57 were alive in ’97; 12 (2.4%) of 500 outperformed the market from 1957 to 1997.Source: Dick Foster & Sarah Kaplan, Creative Destruction: Why Companies That Are Built to Last Underperform the Market

  23. Message*: Are all CEOs bozos? Was Darwin a genius, or what? So,Boss, whaddaya say about “risk taking” now?*And “all that” (2 of 100; 12 of 500) was in relatively placid times.

  24. CEOs appointed after 1985 are 3X more likely to be fired than CEOs appointed before 1985Warren Bennis, MIT Sloan Management Review

  25. “Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries.Precisely because these firms listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost their positions of leadership.”Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma

  26. “A pattern emphasized in the case studies in this book is the degree to which powerful competitors not only resist innovative threats, but actually resist all efforts to understand them, preferring to further their positions in older products. This results in a surge of productivity and performance that may take the old technology to unheard of heights. But in most cases this is a sign of impending death.”Jim Utterback, Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation

  27. “The 1990s was a decade of multiple revolutions—political, economic, technological—that changed so thoroughly the way we live that the past no longer seems a good guide to the future (in fact the past seems precisely the wrong guide). So it is in the world of military affairs. The RMA is our opportunity to use the new information technology to change the very nature of the military—in a way that could reinvigorate American political, diplomatic and economic leadership in the world for decades to come.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War

  28. Forget>“Learn”“The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out.”Dee Hock

  29. Japan’s Science Gap *Rice farming culture: Uniqueness suppressed. Gov’t control of R & D. Promotion based on seniority. Consensus vs. debate.(U.S.: friends can be mortal enemies.)Bias for C.I. vs. “bold leaps.” Lack of competition and critical evaluation (peer review). Syukuro Manabe: “What we need to create is job insecurity rather than security to make people compete more.”*Hideki Shirakawa, Nobel laureate, chemistry

  31. Wendell Phillips, abolitionist: “Republics exist only on the tenure of being constantly agitated. There is no republican road to safety but in constant distrust.”Source: Louis Menand, The Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in America

  32. The Gales of Creative Destruction+29M = -44M + 73M+4M = +4M - 0M

  33. “The secret of fast progress is inefficiency, fast and furious and numerous failures.”Kevin Kelly

  34. “Active mutators in placid times tend to die off. They are selected against. Reluctant mutators in quickly changing times are also selected against.”Carl Sagan & Ann Druyan,Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors

  35. “Chivalry is dead. The new code of conduct is an active strategy of disrupting the status quo to create an unsustainable series of competitive advantages. This is not an age of defensive castles, moats and armor. It is rather an age of cunning, speed and surprise. It may be hard for some to hang up the chain mail of ‘sustainable advantage’ after so many battles. But hypercompetition, a state in which sustainable advantages are no longer possible, is now the only level of competition.”Rich D’Aveni, Hypercompetition: Managing the Dynamics of Strategic Maneuvering

  36. “Acquisitions are about buying market share. Our challenge is to create markets. There is a big difference.” Peter Job, CEO, Reuters

  37. “When asked to name just one big merger that had lived up to expectations, Leon Cooperman, former cochairman of Goldman Sachs’ Investment Policy Committee, answered:I’m sure there are success stories out there, but at this moment I draw a blank.”Mark Sirower, The Synergy Trap

  38. Lessons from the Bees!“Since merger mania is now the rage, what lessons can the bees teach us? A simple one: Merging is not in nature. [Nature’s] process is the exact opposite: one of growth, fragmentation and dispersal. There is no megalomania, no merging for merging’s sake. The point is that unlike corporations, which just get bigger, bee colonies know when the time has come to split up into smaller colonies which can grow value faster. What the bees are telling us is that the corporate world has got it all wrong.”David Lascelles, Co-director of The Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation [UK]

  39. “Terror cells are superb, malevolent examples of what Information Age organizations can be. So how do you kill them? … Soldiers used to idolize Napoleon or Patton. Network-centric warriors admire Wal*Mart for using ‘information superiority’ to crush rivals.… [The Navy’s John] Arquilla calls for small, fast, information-enabled units.”–America’s Secret Weapon, Business 2.0 (DEC2001)

  45. “Unless mankind redesigns itself by changing our DNA through altering our genetic makeup, computer-generated robots will take over the world.”– Stephen Hawking, in the German magazine Focus

  46. “Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.”Vernor Vinge, NASA Vision-21 Symposium (quoted in Damien Broderick, The Spike)
