How to Capture New Markets
In this Soundview Live webinar, How to Capture New Markets, world-renowned business strategist Stephen Wunker guides you through the process of creating counter-intuitive strategies that will lead to success in capturing new markets, such as treating competitors as collaborators, timing market entry and targeting narrow niches before big customer segments.
Wunker’s experiences with Celtel BV of India, Ericsson’s launch of the Psion, and the founding of Saverfone, plus his groundbreaking work with Clayton Christensen, provide a rich source of observations and principles from which he can guide you to turn new markets into drivers of growth for your company.
