In an attempt to shave costs and reduce operating expenses, many firms have used outsourcing and offshoring. But as opportunities for innovation and growth migrate to the peripheri es of companies, industries, and the global economy, efficiency w ill no longer be enough to sustain competitive advantage. In this book, authors argue that the only sustainable advantage in the f uture will come from an institutional capacity to work closely wi th other highly specialized firms to get better faster. Enabled b y the emergence of global process networks, firms will undergo a three-stage transformation - deepening specialization within firm s, mobilizing best-in-class capabilities across enterprises and, ultimately, accelerating learning across broad networks of enterp rises. Hagel and Seely Brown discuss the strategic levers that wi ll accelerate this migration, and they outline a new approach to strategy development that will help companies capture this shifti ng source of strategic advantage. Calling for a forceful reinvent ion of business strategy and the very nature of the firm itself, this bold and forward-looking book reveals what every company mus t do today to become tomorrow's market leader.
