Download or read book Managing Technology for Competitive Advantage written by Joe Anderson and published by Gale Cengage. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is perhaps no area of human activity that is so uncertain as research and development (R & D). This is the business of discovery. The idea that it can be planned or shaped may seem ridiculous. But most R & D is carried out in highly organised institutions which are susceptible to different methods of management. Some organisations are better at managing R & D than others and some are more able to create the future through technological innovations. Today, this is crucial, because the future of many companies and the nations in which they operate depend on producing goods and services which have a high "knowledge content". Internationally, there is intense pressure to manage science and technology more effectively because of increasingly turbulent markets, heavy competition and government universities and research institutes have responded in ways explored in "Managing technology for competitive advantage". This new book is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to global practice in the management of technology with 24 chapters by leading practitioners and analysts in the field. Using real cases, global initiatives in "technology foresight" are explored, along with an exhaustive range of indispensable practical management tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How legacy firms can combine their traditional strengths with the power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy for the digital era. How can legacy firms remain relevant in the digital era? In The Future of Competitive Strategy, strategic management expert Mohan Subramaniam explains how firms can leverage both their traditional strengths and the modern-day power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy. Drawing on the experiences of a range of companies, including Caterpillar, Sleep Number, and Whirlpool, he explains how firms can benefit from data’s enlarged role in modern business, develop digital ecosystems tailored to their unique business needs, and use new frameworks to harness the power of data for competitive advantage. Subramaniam presents digital ecosystems as a combination of production and consumption ecosystems, which can be used by legacy firms to unlock the value of data at various levels—from improving operational efficiencies to creating new data-driven services and transforming traditional products into digital platforms. He explores the ways sensors and the Internet of Things provide new kinds of customer data; presents the concept of digital competitors—other firms that have access to similar data; discusses the new digital capabilities that firms need to develop; and addresses privacy and security issues associated with data sharing. Who needs this book? Any firm that wants to revitalize traditional business models, offer a richer customer experience, and expand its competitive arena into new digital ecosystems.
