REVIEWS

“Business ecosystems are redefining the rules of competition in today’s digital economy. In this groundbreaking book, Arnoud De Meyer and Peter Williamson provide a comprehensive guide to executives who are seeking to get their head around this new way of competing. Based on detailed case studies of some of the hottest companies in the world, such as Alibaba and Amazon Web Services, the authors show how our old ideas about competitive advantage are no longer relevant, and what the alternative might look like. They provide excellent advice for any company that is seeking to gain an edge in this new digital world.”

Julian BirkinshawLondon Business School

“Peter Williamson and Arnoud De Meyer are leading academics who have also led global businesses. As such, Ecosystem Edge is the rare book that is both full of big-picture, complex insight—showing the reader how business outcomes are the product of networks, partnerships, and collaboration—and also current examples, clear tools, and specific takeaways so that executives can convert ideas into action.”

Tanya Menon, ProfessorThe Ohio State University Fisher College of Business

“This book provides a decisive approach to the new nature of innovation and the power of value networks. In an experience-based economy, the game-changers will not be those with the most automated production systems, but those with the best-developed knowledge and know-how assets, whose business environments involve subcontractors as full-fledged partners in value creation.”
