3. 新的增长机会常常伴随着更大的风险
Once a company begins to exhaust its coregrowth formula, it has got to look further afield. And that means expandinginto tangentially related businesses where they may no longer have the inherentadvantage.
一旦一家企业开始逐渐耗尽其核心增长模式,它就必须把目光放到其他领域。这就意味着向相关的临近业务扩展,而企业在这些领域可能并没有内在优势。
Amazon is a particularly intriguingexample, because its managers are taking all sorts of new risks via expansion,even while its core business — ecommerce — is growing by leaps and bounds. It’snot impossible to make this work, but the degree of difficulty goes upexponentially when you enter a market or product category where you don’t have theupper hand. Amazon’s failure in a variety of new ventures, from smartphones, totablets, to search is a case in point.
亚马逊是一个特别有趣的例子,因为亚马逊的管理者在其核心业务——电子商务——蒸蒸至上的同时,还在通过扩张冒各种风险。这种方式并不是不可能成功,但是当你进入了你完全无法掌控的领域或产品类别时,成功的难度就会以指数级增长。亚马逊在各种新项目上遭遇的失败——从智能手机、平板电脑,到搜索——都是很好的例子。
