Anderson’s Grand Unified Theory of Technology Trends

Anderson’s Grand Unified Theory of Predicting the Future

All important technologies go through four states, or at least four stages, in their lives. Each stage can be seen as a collision, with something else. The stages are:

1. Critical Price 2. Critical Mass 3. Displace another technology 4. Become nearly free

Industrial Design

As technology matures, design becomes important

Technology Adoption Life Cycle

The talent of the company that made the product in the early days may become wrong when the product matures

The organisational structure of companies need to change when the company moves from technology to products/services

Organisations which design systems ... are constrained to

produce designs which are copies of the communication structures

of these organisations

The Market of CommoditiesWhat happens when a market becomes mature? Karaoke Capitalism takes over

Red oceans All the industries in existence today —the known market space Industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are known

Strategy for creating new markets Make the competition irrelevant Blue oceans denote all the industries not in existence today—the unknown market space, untainted by competition

Creating Blue Oceans

Instead of focusing on beating the competition, you focus on making the competition irrelevant by creating a leap in value for your buyers and your company, thereby opening up new and uncontested market space
