Marketing
How Latecomers Can Grow to Dominate New Markets
This webinar from Soundview features the research of Gerard Tellis and Peter Golder as presented in their book Will and Vision. Drs. Tellis and Golder debunk the “pioneering” or “first mover” business theory that the organization that enters the market first will dominate that market. Historical research and current examples lend credence to the speakers’ proposition that anyone can take on the current leader and win the market.
Two intangibles that every successful market invader has are Vision, a clear picture of how the organization will better serve the market, and Will, the determination to succeed no matter what seems to block the way.
The speakers provide useful, how-to information on how you can start invading established markets yourself while motivating you to rethink your marketing strategy and objectives. Can you afford to miss the opportunity to discuss these myth-breaking, trend-setting ideas with the originators?
