by Gerard Tellis and Peter N. Golder.
Will and Vision or How Latecomers Grow to Dominate Markets. Popular wisdom states there is always a “first-mover advantage” – the first company to get to market with a new product will enjoy greater name recognition, a higher market share and enduring leadership over everyone else who later enters the same markets.

Blue Ocean Strategy
by Chan Kim, Renée A. Mauborgne
Don’t Compete with Rivals—Make Them Irrelevant. Blue Ocean Strategy challenges the common belief that you have to outcompete your business rivals to achieve sustained profitability. Plus, it offers an alternative. The alternative is to make your competitors irrelevant through innovation and creating your own market.

A company will have more success, fewer risks, and increased profits in a blue ocean market.

Six Simple Rules
by Yves Morieux, Peter Tollman
Does your organisation manage complexity by making things more complicated? If so, you are not alone. According to The BCG’s Complexity Index, business complexity has increased sixfold during the past sixty years. And, all the while, organisational complicatedness—that is, the number of structures, processes, committees, decision-making forums, and systems—has increased by a factor of thirty-five. In their attempt to respond to the increasingly complex performance requirements they face, company leaders have created an organisational labyrinth that makes it more and more difficult to improve productivity and pursue innovation. It also disengages and demotivates the workforce. Employ these six simple rules to foster autonomy, cooperation, increase motivation and to handle business complexity effectively.
