Learning to Lead

Let's draw some inferences by considering a few schools of thought: Why Consumer Goods Companies Need Analytics to Compete? Mark A.

Why Consumer Goods Companies Need Analytics to Compete?

Smith in his Information Management Blog titled "Consumer Goods Companies Need Analytics to Compete" contests that given the cutthroat competitive landscape among consumer goods manufacturers, from food and beverage to electronics and automotives, capturing the minds and wallet share of customers, by reaching out to them with the right product and right price is no easy task. Optimizing business efforts from manufacturing to product and throughout the supply chain to customers requires a comprehensive set of tasks that cannot be done without insights on what has happened in the past and where current activities are going. Customer Loyalty: Is It an Attitude Or a Behavior? The people who've tried to define customer loyalty have usually approached it from one of two different directions - attitudinal and behavioral.

Customer Loyalty: Is It an Attitude Or a Behavior?

Although each of these directions is valid, they have different implications and lead to very different prescriptions for businesses. (This is analogous, but I don't think it is precisely aligned, with Estaban Kolsky's distinction between "emotional" and "intellectual" loyalty.) The attitudinal definition of loyalty implies that loyalty is a state of mind. By this definition, a customer is "loyal" to a brand or a company if they have a positive, preferential attitude toward it. The customer rarely buys what the company thinks it's selling him. Clayton Christensen classifies sustaining innovations as those that continue to improve a product or service, and move it up and up and up along the customer's need.

Often, sustaining innovations achieve a quality far in excess of what most customers actually need, and as quality improves, price and margin improve as well. In fact, Christensen says, competition in sustaining innovations has a tendency to increase the price of the product (in contrast to the common economic wisdom that competition reduces prices).

However, at some point below this level of high product quality and innovation, there are disruptive technologies that will always chip away at the higher end products. He had a table showing different companies that had created innovative products at one time, then been successively replaced by cheaper products always moving up up up in this sustaining innovation trend.

Baker Michael V. Change Comes in Waves. One of Saffo's most interesting perspectives is that innovation moves in phases.

Change Comes in Waves

New scientific discoveries come in waves, and following these discoveries you have new technological applications that change everything. Chemistry innovations in the very early part of the 20th Century led to new giant companies like IG Farben and others.
