Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people´s behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organizational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered. Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people´s behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered. The hierarchical structure of these established companies assumes high coordination cost due to human activity. But when the coordination cost drops
The organisational structure that companies in the 20th century established was based on the fact that employees needed to do all the work. The coordination cost was high due to the effort and cost of employees, housing etc. Now we have software that can do this for use and the coordination cost drops to close-to-zero. Another thing is that things become free. Consider Flickr. Anybody can sign up and use the service for free. Only a fraction of the users get pro account and pay. How can Flickr make money on that? It turns out that services like this can.
Many businesses make money by giving things away. How can that possibly work? The music business has suffered severely with digital distribution of content. Should musicians put all there songs on YouTube? What is the future business model for music?
5. Communication in the 20th Century
Phone call Postal Letter Talk with Clerk
Analog, slow and expensive - coordination cost is high
1900 2000
6. Travelling in the 20th Century
How would you organise a
vacation at a beach resort in the
Mediterranean in 1971?
How many people would need to
become involved?
7. Coordination
To solve coordination, hierarchical
structures must be formed
Corporate structure with layers of
middle managers
Coordination cost is high and
involves many people
Getting things done is expensive
and slow
Hierarchy

20. Coordination Cost
All of the financial cost and institutional difficulties arranging
group output
Form an institution - get resources together
1. Management Problem
2. Structure - economic, legal, physical etc.
3. Inherently exclusionary
4. Professional class
21. Solving the Coordination Cost
Cost of communication is now basically zero and universal
Put the cooperation into the infrastructure
Design a system that coordinates the output of the system as a
byproduct of operating the system with out regard to institutional
models
22. New Solutions
New solutions get built on the Internet infrastructure

43. What is happening to traditional businesses is that they
are getting challenged by digital real-time software base
network companies
It the transformation of old established physical way of
doing business into new ways that are optimized around
real-time software systems
This is called Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation
44. Software is becoming the change agent of all business
If the internet has not disrupted a business, it will
Traditional industries like retail, shipping, banking,
insurance, law firms, health and the list goes on…
Digital Transformation
45. Any business that is built around a
hierarchy with high coordination
cost, will be crushed by a
networked software solution with
low coordination cost
49. Traditional Banking
Highly established and structured
organisations
Conservative and secretive
Slow and expensive
Not very transparent with endless
“hidden fees”

59. “Retail guys are going to go out of business and
ecommerce will become the place everyone buys. You
are not going to have a choice. We’re still pre-death of
retail, and we’re already seeing a huge wave of growth.
The best in class are going to get better and better. We
view this as a long term opportunity.”
— Mark Andreessen
60. Retail is fundamentally implausible economic structure
You combine the fixed cost of real estate with inventory
Every retailer is put in a highly leveraged position
Few can survive a decline of 20 to 30 percent in revenues
There is fundamentally a better model
63. A) People that just steals, they will never pay
B) People that want to try before buy - if they like they pay
C) People that want something but it is not available
D) Copyright laws don’t apply anymore - its not piracy
Reasons for Piracy
68. Subscription to vast repository of music
Very accessible and relevant
Music Subscription
69. In the LP/CD era, the industry was based in scarcity model of
economics
Only few artists became popstarts - professionalised and limited
Today, consumers don’t want to pay as much as they did for music
Add to that, the fact that anybody can be a musician and be on
Soundcloud or Spotify

72. “Every industry that becomes digital
becomes free”
- Chris Anderson, Editor WIRED
Freeconomics
73. The Economy of the Free
Source: Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business
Subsidising Products is well known
Cross-subsidy
Now, a different sort of free has emerged
The new model is based on the fact that the cost
of products themselves is falling fast
76. A Taxonomy of Free
"Freemium"
What's free: Web software and services, some content
Free to whom: users of the basic version
Subscription model of media
Varying tiers of content, from free to
expensive, or a premium "pro" version
The 1% Rule - 1% of a community does
all the work
F2P in the video games industry
77. A Taxonomy of Free
Advertising
What's free: content, services, software, and more
Free to whom: everyone
Examples
Yahoo's pay-per-pageview banners
Google's pay-per-click text ads,
Amazon's pay-per-transaction "affiliate ads"
Paid inclusion in search results
Paid listing in information services
Lead generation
78.
79. A Taxonomy of Free
Cross-subsidies
What's free: any product that entices you to pay for something else
Free to whom: everyone willing to pay eventually, one way or another
Examples
Give the music, sell concerts
80. A Taxonomy of Free
Zero marginal cost
What's free: things that can be distributed
without an appreciable cost to anyone
Free to whom: everyone
Examples
On-line music
Digital reproduction and peer-to-peer
distribution, the real cost of distributing
music has truly hit bottom
81. A Taxonomy of Free
Labor exchange
What's free: Web sites and services
Free to whom: all users, since the act of using these sites and
services actually creates something of value
Examples
Free porn if you solve a few captchas
Rating stories on Digg, voting on Yahoo Answers,
or using Google's 411 service
82. A Taxonomy of Free
Gift economy
What's free: the whole enchilada, be it open source software
or user-generated content
Free to whom: everyone
Examples
Wikipedia
Zero-cost distribution has turned
sharing into an industry
83. Economy of Abundance
Traditional products exist in the economy of scarcity
When the cost of copying and distributing becomes
close to nothing, the economy shifts
You can’t sell copies – their worthless
It’s not only about money - time and respect are also
important
So is your digital footprint
114. Discoverability
Online web sites and
product reviews
Social media, Facebook,
Pinterest, Twitter etc
Youtube, Vimeo etc
Buying
Buying online
Show rooming and buying
online
Buying in-store has to be an
experience - shareable
Rating
Social media, Facebook,
Pinterest, Twitter etc
If it is not shareable, it did
not happen
Use the medium people use
