Editorial : Certain products, like the VCR and the microprocessor, are far more valuable as the center of a network of ancillary items than they ever could become on their own. Platform Leadership, by Annabelle Gawer and Michael A. Cusumano, examines how a handful of firms has maximized this position--or are attempting to do so--and proposes a framework that other businesses can use to establish similar game plans. Combining original research with analysis that draws upon their experiences as professors specializing in high-tech strategy, Gawer and Cusumano focus on Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, Palm, NTT DoCoMo, and supporters of the Linux operating system to show how to establish and expand this vital hub positioning. Their four-pronged approach concentrates on scope (what firms produce on their own and encourage others to produce), technology (how much detail about product architecture and design they should disclose to outsiders), alliances (how collaborative or competitive their relationshi
Based on lessons from successful high-technology platform leaders, this book explains the dynamics of these highly complex and interconnected processes and partnerships. It provides a study of how companies successfully become platform leaders - companies whose products provide the basic technological architecture on which other products and systems are built (such as the microprocessor and Windows Operating System). The authors discuss how platform producers encourage other firms to create complimentary innovations, orchestrate innovations and standards for an entire industry and deal with various internal and external tensions or conflicts that arise when implementing platform-leadership strategies.

But the idea of using the inside of the bark, stripping it out, and then applying common sense to TIE THE STRIPS TOGETHER is true. They call it the Feynman equation but claim that it was first developed by, you guessed it, Heaviside in 1902, some 50 years earlier!
All of the "coincidences" prompted me to find out more about Oliver Heaviside, and professor's Nahin's book is the answer. Simeons protocol and rather than keep this wonderful discovery to herself and hog the astonishment all to herself, leaving the rest of us battling calories and fatfree and sugarfree and whatever other diet we might try and torture ourselves with she SHARED the knowledge, assembled an entire group of people to share insights, lesso
