The Darwinian struggle of business keeps getting more brutal as competitive advantage gaps get narrower and narrower. Anything you invent today will soon be copied by someone else—probably better and cheaper.Many companies thrive during the early stages of their life cycle, only to fall slack during periods of inertia and die out while others surge ahead. But as Geoffrey Moore shows, some notable companies have figured out how to deal with Darwin in their mature years—making changes on the fly while fending off challenges from every quarter.

In this, the second of Geoff Moore's classic three-part marketing series, Moore provides highly useful guidelines for moving products beyond early adopters and into the lucrative mainstream market. Updated for the HarperBusiness Essentials series with a new author's note. Once a product "crosses the chasm" it is faced with the "tornado," a make or break time period where mainstream customers determine whether the product takes off or falls flat. In Inside the Tornado , Moore details various marketing strategies that will teach marketers how reach these customers and how to take advantage of living inside the tornado in order to reap the benefits of mainstream adoption.

The fault line --that dangerous, unstable seam in the economy where the Internet and other powerful innovations meet and create market-shattering tremors. Every company lives on it; no manager can control it. Everyone must learn to deal with it. Now, Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado, two bestselling works that helped guide the high-tech revolution, explores the new management paradigms that will guide businesses in the twenty-first century, showing them how to survive and thrive on the fault line. In this long-awaited new book, Moore turns his attention to the most important question for How can companies that rose to prominence prior to the age of the Internet manage for shareholder value now that the Internet is upon us? The old management truths are dead. Business models that worked admirably until the last decade of the twentieth century must be replaced. The dotcoms are invading every sector of commerce, overturning established relationships, reengineering markets, attacking long-established price points, and disintermediating longstanding institutions. What should management do when it is under direct assault from companies no one ever heard of even a few years ago? In a book that will reset the management agenda in the age of the Internet, Moore shows why sensitivity to stock price is the single most important lever for managing in the future, both as a leading indicator of shifts in competitive advantage and as an employee motivator for making necessary changes in organizations heretofore impervious to change. He prescribes a new agenda for management teams that includes

In this bold new book, high-tech’s best-known strategist makes a seminal contribution to the search for meaning in a secular era.Two questions fundamental to human existence have always been the metaphysical “where do I fit in the grand scheme of things?” and the ethical “how should I behave?” Religion is no longer a source of answers for many people, and nothing has replaced it.Moore uses his signature framework-based approach to answer these questions, taking us on an intellectual roller coaster ride through physics, chemistry, biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Along the way, he builds a metaphorical ladder that leads from the big bang to the need for ethical action in our daily lives.Combining an extraordinary range of scholarship with an accessible and entertaining writing style, The Infinite Staircase: What the Universe Tells Us About Life, Ethics, and Mortality provides a coherent and unified platform for a full human life.

"في "عبور الفجوة" يُظهر جيوفري مور أن دورة تبنِّي التقنيات -التي تبدأ بالمبتكرين وتنتقل إلى المتبنين المبكرين ثم الأغلبية المبكرة ثم الأغلبية المتأخرة والمتقاعسين- تتضمن فجوة ضخمة بين المتبنين المبكرين والأغلبية المبكرة. ففيما يتطلع المتبنون المبكرون إلى التضحية للحصول على ميزة السبق، تنتظر الأغلبية المبكرة حتى تتيقن بأن التقنية المعنية تحسّن الإنتاجية حقًّا. والتحدي الذي يواجه المبتكرين والمسوّقين هو تضييق الفجوة وتسريع تبنِّي التقنية لدى جميع الشرائح بأقصى ما يمكن".

Il classico del marketing (qui nell’ultima edizione aggiornata) che ha rivisto in chiave tecnologica la curva di adozione delle novità teorizzata da Rogers, uno dei concetti di riferimento per il marketing e l’organizzazione delle start-up (tecnologiche e non) degli ultimi decenni. Qualunque prodotto innovativo viene acquistato e apprezzato inizialmente da una ristrettissima minoranza di innovatori e da un gruppo (leggermente più ampio) di utilizzatori precoci prima di arrivare al grande pubblico. Ma fra gli early adopters e la maggioranza iniziale si nasconde un burrone in cui moltissime aziende finiscono per precipitare, giocandosi la possibilità del grande successo. I consigli di Geoffrey Moore permettono di salvarsi dal passo falso e di “cavalcare la curva” fino a diventare mainstream.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

An interesting perspective on marketing and selling in today's competitive environment.
