边缘优势战略:利润增长的新思路

《延展业务边界:助力企业发掘近在咫尺的“金矿”》

作者:艾伦•刘易斯  丹•麦科恩

很多人都知道,公司获利的最佳办法是充分运用现有的资源及能力实现进一步发展。但其中鲜为人知的是,最好的发展机会往往潜藏于商业模式的“边缘”(Edge)。

《延展业务边界》试图指引企业找到潜藏于核心业务周边的业务发展机会。本书提出了“边缘战略”的概念,建议企业领袖在现有业务的边界寻找增长点,旨在为企业提供一套既能提高利润率、又大大降低风险的业务发展战略方案。与传统战略不同,“边缘战略”的核心在于真正尊重并深入挖掘客户需求的多样性,通过拆分、内容简化、升级销售、重新组合等方法, 重新定义产品、服务与定价组合,将选择权真正交到客户手中,在帮助客户更好地达成目的的同时,实现企业的财务目标。

企业首先要了解自身的核心产品、服务和资产所提供的价值边界,其次,要挖掘尚未被满足的目标客户的需求边界,将两者进行对比,分析其中的差距和连接点,从而找到延展业务边界的战略指引。本书列举了大量实例,系统地阐述了三种企业延展业务边界的框架:产品边缘、旅程边缘和企业边缘。在此基础上,依次介绍了如何运用这三种框架以释放企业核心业务周边的机会及应对日趋严酷的市场环境。在本书结尾,我们还在实操层面上向企业家们提供了识别和激活“边缘战略”的十个步骤。

Expectations Investing: Reading Stock Prices for Better Returns

Expectations Investing: Reading Stock Prices for Better Returns

In a sharp break from standard practice, Expectations Investing is a valuation process that uses the market's own pricing model, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), with an important twist: Rather than forecast cash flows, expectations investing starts by interpreting the expectations implied by a company's stock price. Authors Alfred Rappaport and Michael Mauboussin align investing strategy with corporate strategy and share the valuation tools that have been used by successful shareholder value-oriented companies over the years. They demonstrate how the market really values stocks, how expectations revisions affect stock price, and how investors use this analysis to foresee shifts in a company's competitive dynamics.
