Play Bigger: How Rebels and Innovators Create New Categories and Dominate Markets
Autor Al Ramadan, Dave Peterson, Christopher Lochhead, Kevin Maneyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iun 2016
Jim Goetz, Partner, Sequoia Capital
Winning today isn't about beating the competition at the old game. It's about inventing a whole new game: creating a new market category, developing it and dominating it over time. The companies that succeed in this become Category Kings, famous brands that define the whole category - think Xerox, Google, Uber. Category kings are almost impossible to dethrone and take the lion's share of the category's economics. They play bigger than other companies.
In this farsighted, pioneering guide, the founders of Silicon Valley advisory firm Play Bigger introduce the new discipline of category design and its mechanics. By applying category design, companies can create new demand where none existed, conditioning customers' brains to change expectations and buying habits. While this discipline is crucial in the tech industry, it applies to every kind of industry and even to personal careers.
Play Bigger will show how any company can position themselves at the top of their own category, reap the rewards and alter the future.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
In what way does Apple work like the 165-year-old glass company, Corning?
How do you explain why some start-ups last and build value while others shoot up and then flame out?
Why was Elvis not just the King, but a category king?
The key to each has to do with creating, developing, and dominating new categories of products and services.
Stick around and we’ll tell you how that’s done.
Winning today isn’t about beating the competition at the old game. It’s about inventing a whole new game—defining a new market category, developing it, and dominating it over time. You can’t build a legendary company without building a legendary category. If you think that having the best product is all it takes to win, you’re going to lose.
In this farsighted, pioneering guide, the founders of Silicon Valley advisory firm Play Bigger rely on data analysis and interviews to understand the inner workings of “category kings”—companies such as Amazon, Salesforce, Uber, and IKEA that give us new ways of living, thinking, or doing business, often solving problems we didn’t know we had.
It’s not about disruption anymore—it’s about creation. Category kings are the explosive and enduring companies that create value over time by opening up a category with vast potential and setting themselves up to control the majority of it. Category kings take seventy to eighty percent of the category’s economics. Category kings become famous brands because they become the symbol of the whole category—think Xerox, Google, Uber. A category king is almost impossible to challenge. These are the companies that shape our lives and alter the future. They play bigger than other companies.
In Play Bigger, the authors assemble their findings to introduce the new discipline of category design. By applying category design, companies can create new demand where none existed, conditioning customers’ brains to change expectations and buying habits. While this discipline is crucial in the tech industry, it applies to every kind of industry and even to personal careers.
