COMPETING FOR THE FUTURE CONCEPT OF SERVED MARKET REVENUE AND MARGIN STRUCTURE What is the basic value proposition? How have we segmented the market? What kind of customers do we serve? Where are our customers? What customers and needs are we NOT serving? Where in business system do we make profit? Where do margins come from? What has determined size of margins? What are major cost & price drivers? CONFIGURATION OF SKILLS AND ASSETS FLEXIBILITY & ADAPTIVENESS Could profits be extracted at a DIFFERENT POINT in the value chain? What do we believe we know how to do well? What physical infrastructure supports us? What kind of skills predominate in our company? What is the trajectory of our development spend? How alert are we to new value delivery models? How easily could investment programs be re- oriented? How easily could the infrastructure be changed? Which constituencies would most resist change? Might customers’ needs be better served by an ALTERNATE CONFIGURATION of skills and assets? What is our VULNERABILITY to the ‘new rules of the game’? Hamel, G. & Prahalad, C.K. (1994).
