| Abstract: | The growing importance of knowledge workers, the rapid innovation of substitute products, and rising information intensity are redefining how firms compete. As a result, traditional strategies and organization designs are often ill-suited for firms seeking to learn new technologies and prepare themselves to meet new competitive challenges. Some of the key strategic imperatives that help firms successfully renew their sources of competitive advantage include learning new ways to pursue self- cannibalization of older technologies, buying out emerging entrants, identifying the skill sets of potential competitors, and fostering new product innovation through parallel development teams. |
