About This Book

This complete summary of the ideas from John Hagel III, John Seely Brown and Lang Davison's book `The Power of Pull` shows that a profound change is underway in commerce and in society at large. In previous generations, elite planners created goods and services which were then offered to mass markets. Today’s consumers are now starting to cluster more and more around “pull” style platforms, i.e. technologies which allow products and services to be designed, produced and consumed on demand rather than according to a predetermined schedule. In their book, the authors explain how individuals who successfully learn how to harness pull will be able to access enormous resources to generate sizable improvements in performance.

• Save time
• Understand key concepts
• Expand your knowledge
To learn more, read `The Power of Pull` and discover the key to using `pull` style platforms to generate success.

Even after forty years of development, the price/performance ratio of microprocessors continues to increase exponentially. When this is combined with the fact the price/performance of optical fiber and digital storage are also improving steadily, it is obvious the emerging digital infrastructure will completely reshape every institution imaginable during the twenty-first-century. The ongoing nature of these improvements also means that change is a constant and nobody has an opportunity to take a deep breath and play catch up.
- Advances in digital technology are reducing entry barriers to industry after industry around the globe. This means competition in every field is intensifying – which is leading to greater instability and uncertainty.
