There is a second line of work that suggests another efficiency-based reason why open resources may have more value than closed resources. This work derives from the theory of management, and it helps explain why control can sometimes systematically fail. The idea here has been made familiar by Professor Clay Christensen of the Harvard Business School in his book The Innovator's Dilemma. 15 The dilemma describes a perfectly understandable series of decisions that leads well-managed companies to miss the opportunities of disruptive technological change. Leading companies within a particular market will outperform others in perfecting the technology that defines their existing market.

…

Its inability to recognize the value in a radically different model of doing business may well have been a rational decision, given the information available. What Christensen teaches is why, systematically, the view of what is rational from the perspective of a single actor may well prove irrational from the perspective of the market as a whole. The Innovator's Dilemma offers its own strategy for dealing with this blindness. But we can see in the Internet a strategy for dealing with the very same blindness. If firms will be focused on continuing progress, if they will ignore new markets that fail to promise the same level of supracompetitive returns, if they will miss disruptive technologies that in fact produce radical new industries, then we have another reason, in theory, to keep at least some critical resources for innovation within a commons.

…

It is, instead, what architecture for innovation best speeds us along the path to the long run. Which architectures encourage experimentation? Which permit the old to protect themselves against the new? Which permit the new the most freedom to question the old? This raises again precisely the issues that Christensen describes in his Innovator's Dilemma. As I've said, Christensen's argument doesn't depend upon stupidity. He is not identifying a failure in the market; he's identifying a feature of successful companies' perspective. The problem is not that the decision maker is irrational; the problem is that innovation is controlled by the wrong decision maker.

No one can question without risk of consequence—not necessarily banishment to Siberia, but punishment nonetheless. Independent, critical, different views are quashed. This is not the environment for a democracy. Economics itself offers a parallel that explains why this integration affects creativity. Clay Christensen has written about the "Innovator's Dilemma": the fact that large traditional firms find it rational to ignore new, breakthrough technologies that compete with their core business. The same analysis could help explain why large, traditional media companies would find it rational to ignore new cultural trends.[150] Lumbering giants not only don't, but should not, sprint.

"In some instances … the impact of piracy on the copyright holder's ability to appropriate the value of the work will be negligible. One obvious instance is the case where the individual engaging in pirating would not have purchased an original even if pirating were not an option." Ibid., 149. [73] Bach v. Longman, 98 Eng. Rep. 1274 (1777). [74] See Clayton M. Christensen, The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary National Bestseller That Changed the Way We Do Business (New York: HarperBusiness, 2000). Professor Christensen examines why companies that give rise to and dominate a product area are frequently unable to come up with the most creative, paradigm-shifting uses for their own products.

Likewise, AT&T and RCA were extremely innovative companies, but other companies ultimately developed their key technologies, such as the transistor. AT&T and RCA stuck to phones and radio, and became the antithesis of originality.55 There is a reason why big companies are so bad at implementing new ideas. Steve Jobs rarely recommended books, but he liked The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton Christensen. His 1997 book was embraced by Silicon Valley and called one of the six best business books ever by The Economist.56 Christensen's theory was that because successful companies cannot disrupt themselves; they leave themselves vulnerable to competition from upstarts because they abandon the lower end of the market.

However, full implementation will bear additional costs, not unlike the costs of typical information technology-related projects and deployments. Some Chief Information Officers (CIOs) may be reluctant to add to their tight budgets, until early returns on investment have been demonstrated. Innovators Dilemma It is difficult to innovate within your business model, because you will typically attempt to tie everything back to it, resulting in a shortsighted and limited view of what is possible. This is especially true if your business has a trust-related function (such as a clearinghouse). Current intermediaries will encounter the hardest change, because the blockchain hits at the core of their value proposition.

As he says, “evolution doesn’t tolerate junk for too long, so all data, even the outliers, need to be considered.” Ultimately, he was interested not in producing a reliable outcome but a valid one. He wanted to generate a theory on the origins of ASD that would move knowledge forward. This distinction, between reliability and validity, is at the heart of the innovation dilemma, for medical researchers and business-people alike. The challenge is how to balance the irresolvable tension between operating within the current knowledge stage and moving through the knowledge funnel. The tension can’t be fully resolved but only balanced and managed, because reliability and validity are inherently incompatible.

Define the problem with your banking relationship. What are the pain points in your user experience? How might they be alleviated through product or process changes? Dream up an unmet consumer need and run it through the design thinking cycle. Note 1  See, for example: Clayton M. Christensen, The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail (Harvard Business School Press, 1997). Chapter Three Problem Disaggregation and Prioritization Introduction Good problem disaggregation is at the heart of the seven steps process. Any problem of real consequence is too complicated to solve without breaking it down into logical parts that help us understand the drivers or causes of the situation.

The lesson for the future is that over-committing to any one technology or business model would be a mistake — and maintaining the adaptive flexibility of our software and the design tradition that goes with it is correspondingly imperative. Another lesson is this: Never bet against the cheap plastic solution. Or, equivalently, the low-end/high-volume hardware technology almost always ends up climbing the power curve and winning. The economist Clayton Christensen calls this disruptive technology and showed in The Innovator's Dilemma [Christensen] how this happened with disk drives, steam shovels, and motorcycles. We saw it happen as minicomputers displaced mainframes, workstations and servers replaced minis, and commodity Intel machines replaced workstations and servers. The open-source movement is winning by commoditizing software.

A survey of Funding Circle borrowers carried out in 2013 found that 60 percent of them had approached a bank for a loan before finding their way to the platform; asked why these bank applications had not been completed, the top answer was that the process took too long.2 When I visited Funding Circle in 2013, the average time it took for them to screen a borrower’s application was forty-eight hours. Once a borrower was listed, it took just over six days for the loan to be funded. Those times will doubtless have shortened since. At banks the process can take weeks, as decisions bounce from department to department. Banks are also hamstrung by something known as the innovators’ dilemma: the desire to protect existing income streams rather than invent products that may be better. For another example of this problem, look away from debt to foreign exchange and northeast from Zopa’s London offices to the fashionable area of Shoreditch. Here in a renovated tea warehouse, you can find another set of people with big ambitions and a low opinion of mainstream finance.

For more on how to create effective value propositions, we recommend reading Osterwalder’s new book, Value Proposition Design: How to Create Products and Services Customers Want. Step 6: Find a Business Model It is also important to understand that if you’re going to achieve a 10x improvement, there’s a strong likelihood that your company will require a completely new business model. As Clayton Christensen illustrated in The Innovators Dilemma, which was published in 1997, disruption is mostly achieved by a startup offering a less expensive product using emerging technologies and meeting a future or unmet customer need or niche. Christensen emphasized that it is not so much about disruptive products, but more about new business models threatening incumbents.

Further underlying the nature of modern innovation, in 2015 Ashley Madison, an online site for people seeking extramarital affairs, announced plans to raise US$200 million to expand the market for adultery. Industrial revolution 3 emphasizes disruptive technologies, a term associated with Harvard professor Clayton Christensen and his influential 1997 book The Innovator's Dilemma. It differentiated between sustainable innovations, which improve products and make valuable changes for a firm's current customers, and disruptive innovations—cheaper, poorer-quality products that initially target less profitable customers so as to undercut existing businesses, with the object of eventually dominating the industry.

Will their attention wander from Google? Today, Google appears impregnable. But a decade ago so did AOL, and so did the combination of AOL Time Warner. “There is nothing about their model that makes them invulnerable,” Clayton Christensen, Harvard business historian and author of the seminal The Innovators Dilemma, told me. “Think IBM. They had a 70 percent market share of mainframe computers. Then the government decided to challenge them. Then the PC emerged.” Seemingly overnight, computing moved from mainframes to PCs. For a long while, Microsoft seemed unstoppable, he said, only to be diverted by government intervention and the emergence of Linux and open-source software.
