I think Meg Whitman, previously the CEO of ebay, could be classified as an integrative thinker. When she was first brought on as CEO for the company, she used salience to determine all of the variables relevant to transforming ebay into a major e-commerce corporation. This led her to splitting the company into 23 business categories, which then…[Read more]

Like the previous commenters, I also agree that the Nintendo Switch is more of a sustaining innovation than anything else. I don’t think that it is creating a new market, as would be suggested if it were a disruptive innovation. I think the Switch can be seen as an example of Nintendo’s pace of technological progress on mobile gaming. With this in…[Read more]

Like Darpan, the first thing I thought of when reading your post was electric cars. But, it also reminded me of a company I recently read about called Carbon Engineering. Since the government set regulations on companies to limit their CO2 emissions, they have been trying to figure out how to manufacture their products without leading to a large…[Read more]

Clayton Christensen recently commented that, while Uber is innovative, it doesn’t meet the criteria of a disruptive business, in that it didn’t originate in a low-end market and move upstream to higher value mar […]

I think you bring up some valid points about the taxi industry, but I think that when logically looking at Uber, it is just an innovation. Christensen’s stance on Uber is something that I am in complete agreement with because Uber has just figured out a way to further the taxi industry. This is just an innovation because they have developed a way to order cabs through a mobile and web platform, and they arrive right at your doorstep. This is nothing different from the main idea of what cabs are doing which is getting you from point A to point B. If Uber innovated some new form of travel this may be considered a disruptive innovation where they impact the whole cab market, and this could only happen if they broke through several performance indicators. Overall, I think you present a valid argument for your point, but my rebuttal, in unison with Christensen, is that Uber is just another innovation.

i think the technological advancements in broadcasting TV have already disrupted the cable industry because many people are switching to internet-based platforms due to cheaper rates and the fact that they also offer mobility. A method cable companies could use to compete against internet-based streaming platforms is to allow consumers to pick…[Read more]

I don’t think that the advancement from Instart Logic will put complete end to the battle between ad blockers and content publishers. I say this because technology is a constantly advancing field, so it will only be a matter of time before someone or some company finds a way around Instart Logic’s newest innovation. However, I’m not sure whether…[Read more]

I believe that the fear of hackers getting private data from cloud solutions is pointless. The risk is still there whether it’s in-house or a 3rd party, it’s just the fact that your company has less control over security measures. Though, a vendor with poor security, a history of being hacked, etc. will lose business. Seeing how it is one of the large risks of their product (data storage), they should be highly motivated to prevent any breaches. Employees are definitely a bigger security risk, especially considering many studies showing that employees are actually the highest.

During my internship at QVC I noticed quite often that people were storing work files on their personal Dropbox accounts and Google Drive accounts. This directly relates to how NASA’s employees were storing proprietary information on the cloud, and I think that there should be a strict restriction on access to these cloud accounts. There are numerous companies out there that restrict access to the cloud in order to prevent the upload/download of company files. I believe that employees are the bigger security risk when it comes to dealing with sensitive information. Companies should realize that employees have high-level access to their information, and this could prove critical if a file is uploaded to a public cloud by accident. A vendor, like Quy mentioned, will just lose their reputation and business and this will cause immense damage to them.

Last week, part of our course materials dealt with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and how it is used to develop stronger relationships between businesses and customers. JPMorgan Chase is taking the lead […]

I was unable to read the source article due to the paywall it’s behind, but this seems like an interesting new initiative JPMorgan Chase is making. Certainly there will be customers who decide to take their business elsewhere due to privacy concerns; however, I think it’s becoming more and more evident that the majority of people will tend to side with convenience over privacy and security. I can definitely see more banks jumping on board and adapting more innovative CRM systems like this, especially if JPMorgan Chase sees the positive results that they’re expecting. Having said that, I can also see this becoming more of an optional service that banks could provide so as to not lose any customers who do have actual privacy concerns.

I am currently not part of any group, however, this concept sounds interesting. A proposed solution could be to create an application where providers or ambulatory pharmacies set up accounts for patients about to transition to home care that will help them keep track of their post-discharge lifestyle. Providers will be able to update the…[Read more]

Cloud computing is slowing becoming more and more popular as technology advances. These days, it has become part of our everyday lives. When buying music on iTunes, it is instantly downloaded and saved into the icloud. When making word documents using Google docs, your files and changes are saved in real time to Google’s cloud.

I think shopping online is better in various perspectives. For one, the product is always there. You can simply look up what you’re looking for and purchase it. However, stores don’t always have the things you need in-stock, so you would end up traveling to many different stores in order to find the product you need if it is out-of-stock…[Read more]

I have never had an experience where I left a company because of bad customer service, however, I remember having a conversation with the owner of a restaurant about why many places offer Pepsi instead of Coke and he said a lot of it has to do with the fact that Pepsi has better overall customer service than Coke. This really shows how much…[Read more]

I have yet to be a victim in a recall incident, but I think the methods that companies use to handle and fix recall problems can alter consumer opinions, whether someone is personally involved or not. In a big case like Takata, they have to use efficient and effective ways to recall their products or this delicate situation could grow to a scale…[Read more]

There’s no questioning that the increased use of social media has provided companies with many benefits in order to get ahead in the market.
