Digital Enterprise : How to Reshape Your Business for a Connected World (A Harvard Business Review Book)

Amazon.com

What business owner or manager isn't constantly wondering how the onset of the Internet age will impact business in the months and years to come? The Digital Enterprise, a collection of perceptive articles on various aspects of the technological revolution originally published in the Harvard Business Review, provides an insightful base of information that leaders can use to help sort out the possibilities and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Edited by the Review's executive editor, Nicholas G. Carr, this book "explores the form and economics of the new digital infrastructure and considers its influence over the day-to-day decisions executives and entrepreneurs need to make" through writings of such authoritative sources as John Hagel III, Adrian J. Slywotzky, Gary Hamel, and some 18 others.

Divided into three parts, The Digital Enterprise offers a close look at ways technology is "Remodeling Business" (including "how the value chain is constructed, how individual companies determine their positioning and scope, and how interactions between companies are carried out); "Remaking Markets" (by "altering the buying process, both in consumer and in business-to-business markets"); and "Reimagining Management" (through "operational implications of the Internet and... practical advice on how to organize and motivate people"). Individually, the 13 articles cover the current spectrum of thought on the Internet and business. Collectively, they offer as astute a picture of the overall relationship and where it might be headed as today's curious businessperson is likely to find. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

E-commerce trends-from online portals to business-to-business exchanges-have captured plenty of headlines, but it's now becoming clear that these trends are merely sideshows to the Internet's main event.
In this bold and authoritative collection of Harvard Business Review articles, editor and new-economy expert Nicholas G. Carr argues that the real story of the digital age is happening below the surface of commerce. Digital technologies are reshaping the very infrastructure of business, requiring radically different ways of organizing, structuring, and operating companies of all kinds. The result is the formation of an entirely new kind of organization Carr calls the digital enterprise.
Revealing the insights of cutting-edge business thinkers, top corporate executives, and leading entrepreneurs including Gary Hamel, John Hagel, Clayton Christensen, EMC's Michael Ruettgers, and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, The Digital Enterprise takes leaders beyond Internet hype to answer fundamental strategic questions such as: Where will profits reside in this new digital infrastructure? Who will capture them? How will your business need to be reshaped to exploit new opportunities ahead of competitors?
Each article explores the form and economics of this new landscape, illuminating the workings of the digital enterprise and exploring its influence on the day-to-day decisions today's executives and entrepreneurs need to make. Part I, "Remodeling Business," provides new frameworks that break down how business is conducted at the most basic level-from how the value chain is constructed to how companies determine their positioning and scope in the competitive arena. Part II, "Remaking Markets," examines how the Internet is changing both the consumer and business-to-business marketplaces-from the evolution of the next generation of e-commerce to the new mobile technologies that will become the heart of consumer marketing. Part III, "Reimagining Management," explores the operational implications of the Internet-from how to manage and motivate talent to how to adapt internal processes to meet the competitive pace of the digital age.
Affirming not only the challenges, but also the enormous rewards that lie ahead for today's organizations, this essential book is every manager's guide to building a successful digital enterprise.

Nicholas G. Carr is an Executive Editor at the Harvard Business Review.

A useful collection, with a slightly misleading title........2003-02-25

This is a collection about the reshaping of the business enterprise. Whether the underlying driver of change is 'the digital revolution' or whether it is simply the emergence of new perspectives on business is probably not a profitable argument. Certainly some of the best articles in this collection have little to do with the Internet as such and a lot to do with rethinking business models.

Carr's introduction is particularly good - and is the one part of the book that subscribers to HBR will not have had the opportunity to read already.

In Part 3, there is a very engaging article by Ricardo Semler, best known for Maverick! It is essentially a description of how an entire enterprise has set itself up as a powerful forcing bed for developing and supporting every individual and group within the organization to act as entrepreneurs. By extension it is a powerful condemnation of the loss of potential creativity - and profit - in 'conventional' organizations.

Part 1 ends with a truly startling article entitled 'Transforming Life, Transforming Business: The Life-Science Revolution'. It is startling not for what it says, which is that genetic engineering in all its forms offers enormous business potential, but also carries with it great difficulties, both technically and of acceptance. The startling thing is that there is no mention - not even the whisper of a suggestion, either in the article itself or in the appended note by the Editors of Harvard Business Review - that there are ethical issues to consider and resolve. If this article reflects the thinking of those engaged in the genetic engineering industries, it is no wonder that they have a problem!

Book Description

The biggest, most important issue in business today--becoming digital--touches not only traditional enterprises but the most avant-garde of Internet companies as well.

Old-economy companies must take steps to avoid becoming victims of capitalism's creative destruction, the unofficial system that flushes out the old to make way for the new. For dot-com companies the question is whether or not they are flash-in-the-pan businesses with no long-term prospects of profitability and customer loyalty.

Most of the early efforts to answer the question "How digital is your business?" have been shrouded in techno-speak: a veritable Tower of Babel unconnected with the real needs of business. Slywotzky and Morrison show, first of all, that becoming digital is not about any of the following: having a great Web site, setting up a separate e-business, having next-generation software, or wiring your workforce.

What they so creatively demonstrate is that a digital business is one whose strategic options have been transformed--and significantly broadened--by the use of digital technologies. A digital business has strategic differentiation, a business model that creates and captures profits in new ways and develops powerful new value propositions for customers and talent. Above all, a digital business is one that is unique.

How Digital Is Your Business? is a groundbreaking book with universal appeal for everyone in the business world. It offers:

* Profiles of the future: the in-depth story of the digital pioneers--Dell Computer, Charles Schwab, Cisco Systems, Cemex.

* Insight into how to change a traditional enterprise into a digital business: the stories of GE and IBM.

* An analysis of the profitable dot-coms: AOL, Yahoo!, and eBay.

While How Digital Is Your Business? has great stories and case studies, its most invaluable central idea is that of digital business design and the array of powerful digital tools it offers for use in creating a digital future for your own company.

Within a very short time, the issue of how to become a digital company has become a major headache for the management of every company in every industry. Just about every company has Internet and digital initiatives, but with the exception of a select few, these efforts are more a jumble of activities (setting up web sites, writing the corporation, giving laptops to everyone) than a coherent digital strategy. The end-result is that, despite the expenditure of much time, effort, and money, most companies are not reaping the benefits of digitalization because they haven't thought through the purpose of digitalization from the standpoint of the major issues facing their business. A digital company uses technology to completely reverse the way business is done. Most companies guess about the demand for their product, even when they use the most modern of market research techniques. They produce it, market it and hope customers buy it. If they don't put on sale at huge discounts to make the way for next season's stuff. A digital company, on the other hand, gives customers exactly what they want. Dell, for example, uses technology -- the web -- so that customers can specify exactly the kind of computer their heart desires. Only then does Dell produce and ship the computer to the customer. There are tremendous benefits to this reversal: (1) There's no guesswork and risk. If you know what customers want and give it to them, you have no unsold inventory. (2) Customers buy more -- frequently the higher priced, more profitable products -- since they don't have to compromise. (3) Much greater productivity, profit and growth and the beginning of strategic control over your market. Becoming adigital company is not really about the Internet and the Web. It's about going back to basics. Before any digital initiative, ask first: "What are the top five business issues facing my company?" Only when you know the answers can you digitalize with the objective of improving and rede

A good read.......2006-02-16

The new economy has also been called the digital economy. One of the most important issues facing companies today is making the transition to the new economy and having a digital business. The authors describe "going digital" as a process where the company creates a great Digital Business Design (DBD) that allows the company to expand its strategic options, thereby crafting a unique and superior business model.
The reader, in learning how to make a company digital, will specifically learn:
· Digital Business Design involves creating a value proposition that is unique to the company for both your employees and your customers. It also involves having a profit model that is designed to protect this new revenue.
· Managing bits not atoms is the key to a successful Digital Business Design. Managing information, referred to as bits, instead of managing physical assets, referred to as atoms, allows the company to sell and service customers faster and cheaper.
· Creating choiceboards allows a company to move away from guessing customers expectations and move toward customers telling the company exactly what is expected. This is all done faster than before.
· Practicing 10X productivity allows for a higher level of work and greater productivity by the company leveraging its digital resources
· Creating a digital organization allows everyone at every level access to information. This organization is fast, accurate, changeable, and shifts the focus externally.
· Continue to develop talent base is done from the top down. This is the only way an organization can continue to compete in the digital age.

Digital business design - a new profit model?.......2005-04-12

The authors Slywotzky and Morrison are renowned for their inspiring bestseller "Profit Zones" in which they elaborate on 22 different profit models for businesses. In this book on digital business design they explain how to design the 23rd profit model.

Digital Business Design is the art of using digital technologies to expand a company's strategic options. It is not about technology for its own sake; it's about serving customers, creating unique value propositions, leveraging talent, radically improving productivity, and increasing profits. It's about using digital options to craft a business model that is not only superior, but also unique.

Until recently, the probability that any organization would enjoy long-term success was determined by a single factor: the quality of its business design. Today, the multiplication of digital technologies has introduced a second crucial competitive factor: the degree of its relevant digitization.

FOUR-QUADRANT "MAP"
Any organization can be mapped into a four-quadrant "map" based on its level of digitization and its business design:
* Low digitization, bad business design (Southwest quadrant - "Weak Business Designs").
* High digitization, bad business design (Northwest quadrant - "The Dotcoms").
* Low digitization, great business design (Southeast quadrant - "Business Design Reinventors").
* High digitization, great business design (Northeast quadrant - "Digital Business Design").

YOUR DIGITAL RATIO
One important aspect of moving from a conventional to a Digital Business Design involves shifting many of your company's key activities from paper-based processes to digital (usually on-line) processes. To obtain at least a partial measure of how digital your business is, complete a simple exercise referred to as estimating your Digital Ratio. The authors suggest that you measure the following processes [0-100% digital]: selling, delivery, supply chain, customer service, billing, buying, recruiting, training, finance, R&D, manufacturing, and marketing.

Moving towards 100% digital is not an end in itself. Any decision to move a particular activity toward the right, and how far, depends on your key business issues, what is required to improve your value proposition for your customers and employees, and the capital and process efficiencies of your business.

On the surface, Digital Business Design indicates how many of your business processes are conducted on-line. At a deeper level, it tells whether you've transformed the way you do business by taking advantage of the new strategic options enabled by digital technologies.

THE DIGITAL BUSINESS DESIGN BENEFITS SCALE
Figuring your Digital Ratio is a useful exercise; for many companies, it will be a sobering one. But it only scratches the surface of what Digital Business Design really means. The experience of the digital innovators shows that Digital Business Design can fundamentally change the way you do business. It enables you to make a dramatic, positive shift toward implementing the benefits:

1. FROM GUESSING TO KNOWING. The basis of your business decision-making shifts from guessing to knowing.

2. FROM MISMATCH TO A PERFECT FIT. The value proposition you offer to your customers shifts from a mismatch (great or small) to a perfect fit.

3. FROM LAG TIME TO REAL TIME. Information flow within your company shifts from lag time to real time.

4. FROM SUPPLIER SERVICE TO CUSTOMER SELF-SERVICE. Your customer service model shifts from supplier service to customer self-service.

5. FROM LOW VALUE-ADDED WORK TO MAXIMUM TALENT LEVERAGE. The use of your employees' time shifts from predominantly low value-added work to maximum talent leverage.

6. FROM FIXING ERRORS TO PREVENTING ERRORS. Your processes shift from a focus on fixing errors to preventing them.

7. FROM 10% IMPROVEMENT TO 10X PRODUCTIVITY. Your productivity growth pattern shifts from a norm of 10 percent improvement to 10 times productivity.

8. FROM SEPARATE SILOS TO INTEGRATED SYSTEM. Your organization shifts from a collection of separate silos to an integrated system in which information, ideas, and solutions are shared.

The authors make a strong point of emphasizing that being digital is not only about the Internet (e-mail, e-commerce, e-services, etc.), but also all the other great things we do to MOVE FROM ATOMS TO BITS, e.g. empowering people and organizations via PCs, networks, ERP systems, etc.

Beware that Slywotzky in his marvellous business novel "Art of Profitability" (2002) becomes more reluctant to the concept of a "digital business design" as a 23rd profit model. So the verdict is still out on the digital profit model...

Nevertheless, most businesses must continually evaluate which of their business processes that profitably should be transformed from paper-based to digital. But this may just be part of an organization's operational excellence, not necessarily a new profit model ...

In 2005, the cases in the book (Cisco, Schwab, Dell, IBM, GE, etc.) are too well-known to stimulate current readers. That is why I only rate the book three stars.

Being a business development manager, I search for relevant tools to apply the new ideas to my own business. At the website for this book - HowDigitalIsYourBusiness.com -, you'll find excellent "Tours" to two case studies and two presentations on Bit Engine and Choiceboards.

1. The basis of your business decision-making shift from guessing to knowing.
2. The value proposition you offer to your customers shifts from a mismatch to a perfect fit
3. Information flow with your company shift from lag time to real time.
4. Your customer service model shifts from supplier service to customer self-service
5. The use of your employees' time shifts from predominantly low value-added to maximum talent leverage

8. Your organization shifts from collection of separate silos to integrated system in which information, ideas, and solutions are shared.

Authors Adrian Slywotzky and David Morrison illustrate these DBD principles in case studies of Dell, Cemex, Charles Schwab, Cisco, GE, and IBM. "It's important to have hands-on, high-touch service available when needed. But, by digitizing services that don't require in-person assistance, the overall cost structure is improved, customers receive better service, and profitability is greater." "True productivity is measured by the needs and desires of customers rather than a company's business objectives." "10X productivity is important not just because it can and will help toward meeting the next quarter's earnings forecast, but because it releases money and frees it for investment in growth." "In mapping out your digitization strategy, start by asking: Which of the three areas-capital, cost, or cycle time- is most crucial to the economics of my business and my customer's businesses?"

In the mid 1990s Charles Schwab dominated the discount brokerage business. Schwab enjoyed stellar growth and was one of the most sure-fired innovators in the financial sector. In 1992, Schwab launched OneSource. In the same year, E-Trade offered a flat $14.95 commission on stock trades. Schwab's average commission was around $60 and profits were excellent. Customers wanted control over their information, processes, and services to make investments. Should Schwab go online and be exposed to a 75 percent reducing in commissions. Schwab had to decide between two paths: risking the whole company by moving to an online service online or keeping the traditional brokerage model. Schwab was willing to innovate, reinvent their products and services, and respond to it customers. Dan Leeman, Head of Strategy explained, "We created eSchwab because we wanted to learn. But we did not want to risk the whole company." eSchwab commission was $29.95 more than double E-trade. Schwab position was not price differentiation; rather, it was a response to customer's demands for speed, convenience, and ubiquity of on-line investing-value added investing. The online services were separate from the rich services provided by the traditional brick and mortar high-touch services. Customers were telling Schwab that reintegrating eSchwab into the traditional brokerage division was the right way to go. The result would be commission compression. Schwab bit the bullet and announce reintegration and a commission structure of $29.95 up to 1,000 shares, online or off. 1998, at the Golden Gate Bridge, David Pottruck handed out jackets with the slogan "Crossing the Chasm" embroidered on the back and then led them on a walk across San Francisco Bay. The dropping commission income caused Schwabs stock market capitalization to plummet, falling $2 billion. Volume began picking up and Investors recognized the volume increase and reward Schwab by investing again in the company. Schwab's market value grew to $23 billion more than double the summer low. One investor said, "I like the fact that Schwab has bricks-and-mortar building. I think it's the skepticism I have about the start-up. I'm nervous because all their money is electronic... It's worth the price to have the brand name and reliability of Good Ol' Schwab." "Where a digital presence offers speed and convenience, the physical presence offers a basis for building trust. In many businesses, customers insist on both."

DBD will cause company cultures to change and cause digital to spread to every division, department, and business process. How fast is your business? Can you make quick decisions? How rapidly can you act when a decision is made? Being fast is a matter of mindset. But being fast but wrong gains you nothing; DBD goal is marketing and customer service that is dead-on accurate rather than more-or-less in the ballpark. Rapid change has a simple logic, when the world changes rapidly, you must change more rapidly. Change is a function of flexibility and flexibility is the product of good design. The Digital model allows for morphable changes in a short period of time. Factories must be reconfigured, rebuilt, or sold. All these steps take time, cost money, and distract attention from moves that can benefit customers directly. Therefore it is crucial not be saddle with resources that are not central to the business model: case in point, B&N (real-estate building verse Amazon online warehousing), the emerging eBook and rapid electronic publishing and high speed low cost printing.

"Business with the insight and courage to redesign themselves as needed to achieve and sustain place in the minds of customers as well as growing share of sales and profits...businesses that know how to take advantage of both traditional and digital options to create and occupy unique and continually evolving position in a rapidly changing economic universe."

First five chapters are on Dell's configurator "Choice board". This one is a total waste of time. Not technical, not re-invent the business. What is the audience here?

Forcing the issue.......2001-11-11

I thought the first three books by Slywotsky and co. were really good. But this one is really awful. The content -- digital business design -- can be summarized in one page. They just try to keep stretching the material to complete a book -- for the sole purpose of selling. The same point keeps being repeated again, again, and gain. Check the bibliography and read the sources. They are much better! Read the Profit Zone, Value Migration and Profit Patterns. They are much more relevant today though many principles are extremely difficult to apply in today's very unpredictable environment.

Praise for Marketing to the Social Web

"Weber understands that the world is going digital and that competitive advantage will accrue to those who understand the transformation. CEOs should heed this transformation and learn from Weber's insights how to navigate this new landscape to fully maximize their business opportunities."
-Mark Fuller, Chairman, Monitor Group

"Consumers are using technology to grab power from companies, the media, and the government. Marketing to the Social Web succinctly outlines how institutions can survive and win in this chaotic new world, and lays out the revised rules of engagement-ignore them at your peril."
-George F. Colony, CEO, Forrester Research, Inc.

"Larry has brought pragmatic and useful recommendations to help brand builders manage the complexity of social interaction in a digital age. I was pleased to read a book that actually suggests how to do something with social networks, instead of just ponder them."
-David Kenny, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Digitas Inc.

"Where's the allure of social 2.0? Brands can talk . . . customers talk louder! Digital influence has arrived."
-Jeff Taylor, CEO, Eons and Founder of Monster.com

"Larry Weber provides a simple and effective roadmap of the new customer information highway. Marketing to the Social Web is a valuable tool that will give everyone the confidence and know-how to compete in this fast-growing marketplace of ideas."

-Nicholas Negroponte, Chairman, One Laptop per Child

Bleeding Edge of Internet Marketing.......2007-08-16

This book goes into detail about the possibilities behind marketing to the social web. It's more about how to interact with your customers and the social ties that bind them to determine the next steps in marketing and product development. It's also a good way to attract and interact with them in a more personal way than every done before in traditional marketing. The book is full of examples and case studies with usable techniques even for smaller companies who might not have as much to invest.

A must-read for marketers.......2007-08-11

Larry Weber lives five years in the future, so if you want to know where marketing is going, ask him. This book is about how businesses will market after they finally concede that they've lost control of the message. Once you come to grips with the fact that customers are dictating the terms of engagement, you can have wonderfully rich conversations with them that lead to meaningful relationships. Stop spewing and start conversing. Larry Weber tells you how. This book is forceful, opinionated, passionate and very relevant to the challenges and opportunities that face marketers in the coming years.

Another marketing book that explains a new approach when promoting something and using the new social media........2007-07-22

I just finished writing a book review for The New Influencers by Paul Gillin (ISBN: 1884956653). I mention this because I think the instant book is one that should be read along with Gillin's book. Both books are great! And both books are about marketing, the new social media, and how to use the Web effectively to promote yourself, your business, or whatever.

Marketing to the Social Web can include one or all of the following: (1) reputation aggregators, (2) blogs, (3) e-communities, and (4) social networks. This book explains each and how they can help you in your marketing efforts. I personally like blogs and social networks the best. They are easier and cheaper to create than the other two. E-communities can cost a bunch to create, monitor, and maintain. And reputation aggregators are search engines and directories. Not something that I'm interested in creating.

My favorite chapters were 1-3 and 12-16. I found chapter 4 to be kind of the odd-ball out in the book. Maybe it was necessary? Maybe not? And I thought chapters 5-11 were wonderful and added much content to the book. But they did not set my world on fire. Maybe they should have been saved as the final seven chapters?

I highly recommend this book to those who want to move away from straight traditional marketing and into new media marketing. 5 stars!

Product Description

Veteran award-winning cameraman, producer, and founder of VideoUniversity, Hal Landen's latest book, Marketing with Digital Video: How to Create a Winning Video For Your Small Business or Non-Profit, shows how small-budget businesses can take advantage of today's affordable digital technology to produce effective business videos.

Written in the same no-nonsense, readable and user-friendly manner as his previous book, the acclaimed Marketing with Video, Landen has the gift of making the sometimes confusing, technical world of video production accessible to even the least technically-minded reader. Whether you aspire to be a hands-on video maker, or an executive producer who doesn't want to get overly technical, Marketing with Digital Video tells you everything you need to know-everything you should know-before, during and after filming.

As important as technology is today, the heart of this book is not just about technology but rather about how to make an effective video on a shoestring budget. Even if you don't plan to produce your own business video, you'll learn how to hire the right people to do the job for you, pitfalls to avoid, and tricks of the trade gleaned from Landen's years of on-the-job experience.

Hal Landen's love of filmmaking shows in every chapter, and his eagerness to share his vast knowledge and experience help make Marketing with Digital Video a fun book to read, too. Anyone interested in the art of making videos and movies will find Landen's chapters on The Art of Editing, and Sound Editing, which offer a fascinating insight into the mechanics of a highly complex subject, particularly enthralling. His entertaining anecdotes and asides throughout the book make it feel very personal, as if he were sitting next to you guiding you through each stage.

By the time you have finished reading it, you will feel like a pro, knowing what previously impenetrable terms like Dolly Shot and Dramatic Axis mean, how to set up a budget so there are no nasty surprises later, how to hire a cameraman, where to find music-Landen leaves nothing to chance. Even potential legal issues are addressed and the exhaustive, fact-filled appendix includes sample release forms.

Most importantly, though, readers will be well-equipped to produce a professional, highly effective video on a lean budget in order to promote their business or non-profit, and able to take advantage of the infinite marketing opportunities digital video offers.

Just what the title says.......2006-07-13

There are many books on videos, many on marketing, this one is written for readers who want to do both - market with video.

It takes you step by step and explains the equipment, techniques - scripting, shooting, editing concepts in a warm and friendly way. If you want to see excerpts, go to the author's web site: www.videouniversity.com, and you can see excerpts from each chapter in the book.

The book has also been completely revised in 2005. I get so frustrated reading video how to books that are still talking about VHS tapes. This one knows about mini-DV recorders and DVDs. Hurray! I definitely recommend this book if you are trying to market your business using a video.

It is beyond the scope of this book, however, if you are trying to market your business using a video, you should get a book as well on how to stream your video on the internet because that's how business marketing videos are being viewed these days.
