MIT SMR: Transforming From Traditional Competitor to Ecosystem Powerhouse
In our current competitive landscape, the rivalry is shifting from well-defined industries to broader ecosystems. We see this in the transition from automobiles to mobility solutions, from banking to fintech platforms, from production lines to intelligent factories - traditional boundaries are collapsing almost everywhere you look. Competitors are coming from new directions and pursuing different goals from those of your familiar rivals. Companies need a new approach to strategy for managing in a world of ecosystem disruption. For advice, please join Ron Adner, author of Winning the Right Game: How to Disrupt, Defend, and Deliver in a Changing World (MIT Press), as he offers a framework for what ecosystem disruption looks like and its implications for leaders.
