内容简介
As industries worldwide move toward consolidation, niche companies need to take advantage of strategies that are forward-thinking and anticipate new trends. BEATING THE GLOBAL CONSOLIDATION ENDGAME identifies nine key strategies that niche companies must master in order to outperform their markets and gain the largest benefits from consolidation.
Action steps
To time the strategies accurately, all decision-makers must know what stage of industry consolidation they’re in, along with the implications of each stage. This ensures a company’s survival and success against global consolidators. Taking you through the Merger Endgame Theory life-cycle, the authors show how companies can develop stable strategies and viable niches:
* Determining your industry’s Endgame position and expected evolution of consolidation in coming years
* Identifying industry sectors with comparable models to illuminate strategic success factors for your sector
* Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of Endgame consolidation winners and losers
* Spotting potential market splits and new configurations for the value-creation chain
* Determining the best niche options and the best sequence for executing them
These action steps are supported by case studies of leading companies around the world including BMW, NetJets, Swatch, Ducati, and KPMG – and show how these niche fighters developed competitive advantage, survived market collapses, and delivered superior customer service while increasing their market share.
