- THEN MARKETING CAN’T FIX THAT.

integrated part of the product

THE THIRD WAVE OF TECH.
WELCOME TO
WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS BRINGING NOW ISN’T JUST IMPROVEMENTS AND EFFICIENCY AROUND THE
PRODUCT - IN THE COMPANY’S INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL VALUE CHAINS - IT IS CHANGES TO THE
NATURE OF THE PRODUCTS THEMSELVES.
PARTI:COMMUNICATIONISMARKETINGISDISTRIBUTIONISPRODUCT
8. Before the advent of modern information technology,
products were mechanical and activities in the value
chain were performed using manual, paper processes and
verbal communication. The first wave of IT, during the
1960s and 1970s, automated individual activities in the
value chain, from order processing and bill paying to
computer-aided design and manufacturing resource
planning. (See “How Information Gives You Competitive
Advantage,” by Michael Porter and Victor Millar, HBR,
July 1985.) The productivity of activities dramatically
increased, in part because huge amounts of new data
could be captured and analyzed in each activity. This led
to the standardization of processes across companies—
and raised a dilemma for companies about how to
capture IT’s operational benefits while maintaining
distinctive strategies.
HOW SMART, CONNECTED PRODUCTS ARE
TRANSFORMING COMPETITION
The rise of the internet, with its inexpensive and
ubiquitous connectivity, unleashed the second wave of
IT-driven transformation, in the 1980s and 1990s (see
Michael Porter’s “Strategy and the Internet,” HBR,
March 2001). This enabled coordination and integration
across individual activities; with outside suppliers,
channels, and customers; and across geography. It
allowed firms, for example, to closely integrate globally
distributed supply chains.
The first two waves gave rise to huge productivity gains
and growth across the economy. While the value chain
was transformed, however, products themselves were
largely unaffected.
HOW SMART, CONNECTED PRODUCTS ARE
TRANSFORMING COMPETITION
Now, in the third wave, IT is becoming an integral part of
the product itself. Embedded sensors, processors,
software, and connectivity in products (in effect,
computers are being put inside products), coupled with a
product cloud in which product data is stored and
analyzed and some applications are run, are driving
dramatic improvements in product functionality and
performance. Massive amounts of new product-usage
data enable many of those improvements.

34. Ed Thompson, an analyst at market research firm Gartner, says:
“Between 5% and 10% of companies truly have a customer culture at
their core, but the rest have been forced to care because all other
means of differentiation have been eroded over time. That’s why it is
currently a hot topic and has been very high on CEO agendas for the
last three years or so.”
In many consumer sectors, it has become increasingly difficult for
organisations to really stand out from the crowd in terms of pricing,
products or services.As a result, the last great bastion of
differentiation in recent years has become that of customer
experience – and that seems unlikely to change any time soon.

forced to care because
all other means of
differentiation have
