Create Marketplace Disruption:
How to stay ahead of the competition

Adam Hartung, July 2008, FT Press

Creat Marketplace Disruptions Book Cover

Some companies can’t change in response to market disruptions. Those companies die. Other companies do respond… eventually. They survive, but they see their profits squeezed, their growth flattened. Then there are the long-term winners; companies that create their own disruptions and thrive on change. In Create Marketplace Disruption, Adam Hartung shows how to become one of those rare companies, creating lasting growth and profits.

This book reveals why so many companies behave in ways that are utterly incompatible with long-term success… and why even “good to great” companies are struggling for air. You’ll discover how to reposition your organization away from the Flats and Swamps of traditional Defend and Extend Management and back into the Rapids of accelerated growth. Hartung demonstrates how to attack competitors’ Lock-ins, make their Success Formulas obsolete, and create the White Space needed to invent your own new formulas for success.

What you will learn

Create Marketplace Disruption shows how disrupting yourself is critical to reaping the benefits of market changes, and part of a process that can be reproduced over and over again. By reading this book, you will discover:

  • How we got into the mess and how to get out of it: The myth of perpetuity and the dark side of success.
  • That reinventing success means no more Defend and Extend: How to create your new Success Formulas and stay competitively advantaged.
  • Why “thinking outside the box” doesn’t work: First, get outside the box. Then, think!
  • How to maintain “The Phoenix Principle” for long-term success: Practicing Disruption until it comes naturally.
