The Power of Social Media
We are All Journalists
Development of Ecommerce 1995 – 2013 in Four Windows of Opportunity
1995 1999 20132006
Brand value management window
Etailer window of opportunity
Ecommerce ASP window of opportunity
Ecommerce content window
Only Focus on what’s BIG & Disruptive
1000’en (lokale) niches
Ecommerce Business Development: Seven Lessons Learned
1. Cash in on Early Mover Advantages (temporary uniqueness)
2. Focus on Unique positions in a value chain and device USPs.
3. Timely divest when the Window of Opportunity is closing and you’re not No 1.
4. Negotiate the Exit at the Start: Tag along/Drag Along!
5. Focus on Big: differentiate Local from Worldwide opportunities
6. Use “open” source/content strategies to apply scourge earth tactics
7. Ignore the cycles of the general economy, as ebusiness is a long cycle (Kondratiev)
Ebusiness is a Long Kondratiev Cycle (50 years or so)
• It’s a Marathon Not a Sprint
• It’s about Transforming the economy into a Digital Global Economy
• Its Creative Destruction ruins complete Business Chains
• A Depression is sign of Rationalization before new Wealth is created
• Economic pictures are blurred as many cycles interact with each other
What do You Think You Contribute to This?
Internet is our infrastructure. More users in Asia than in Europe and NA combined.
We have become One World, One Global Economy
The Business Rules are Distinct in the Digital World: “Open” (Free) wins from “Closed”
Publishers are Shell-shocked about their Property Rights
Free “Open” Community stuff… Is this a Kind of Neo-Marxism?
No – Erst das Fressen, dann die MoralStill, No Free Ride in the Physical World of Scarcity (Time, Space and Materials)
Yes – Ideas are FreeGreat Free Content, Sources and Communication Services in Cyberspace (the biggest copier in the world). Open Hardware projects in infancy.
