Online resources: Summary: How-to guidance for optimizing incumbent technologies to deliver a better product and gain competitive advantage Their zip codes are far from Silicon Valley. Their SIC codes show retail, automobile or banking. But industry after industry is waking up to the opportunity of "smart" products and services for their increasingly tech-savvy customers. Traditionally technology buyers, they are learning to embed technology in their products and become technology vendors. In turn, if you analyze Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and eBay, you marvel at their data centers, retail stores, application ecosystems, global supply chains, design shops. They are considered "consumer" tech but have better technology at larger scale than most enterprises. The old delineation of technology buyer and vendor is obsolete. There is a new definition for the technology elite - and you find them across industries and geographies. The 17 case studies and 4 guest columns spread through The New Technology Elite bring out the elite attributes in detail. Every organization will increasingly be benchmarked against these elite - and soon will be competing against them. Contrasts the productivity that Apple, Google and others have demonstrated in the last decade to that of the average enterprise technology group Reveals how to leverage what companies have learned from Google, Apple, Amazon.com, and Facebook to your company's advantage Designed for business practitioners, CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, technology vendors, venture capitalists, IT consultants, marketing executives, and policy makers Other titles by Vinnie Mirchandani: The New Polymath: Profiles in Compound-Technology Innovations If you're looking to encourage technology innovation, look no further. The New Technology Elite provides the building blocks your company needs to become innovative through incumbent technologies.Summary: Intro -- The New Technology Elite : How Great Companies Optimize Both Technology Consumption and Production -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Part I The Convergence of Technology Production and Consumption -- Chapter 1 The New Monday Morning Quarterback -- Case Study: UPS-That's Technology "Amore" -- Chapter 2 The "Industrialization" of Technology -- Case Study: HP-The Quest for a "10 Out of 10" Supply Chain -- Chapter 3 From Amazon to Zipcar: No Industry Untouched -- Case Study: Roosevelt-Innovation Island -- Chapter 4 Australia to Zanzibar: No Country for Old Products -- Case Study: Estonia's "Tiigrih¨upe"-Tiger Leap -- Chapter 5 Convergence, Crossover, and Beyond -- Guest Columns: Crossover Executive Perspectives -- Perspective 1: Tony Scott (CIO, Microsoft) -- Perspective 2: Vijay Ravindran (Chief Digital Officer, The Washington Post Co.) -- Part II Key Attributes for the New Technology Elite: Three Es, Three Ms, Three Ps, and Three Ss -- Chapter 6 Elegant: In a World of Flashing 12s -- Case Study: Virgin America-Redefining Elegance in Flying -- Chapter 7 Exponential: Leveraging Ecosystems -- Case Study: RIM's Evolving Ecosystem -- Chapter 8 Efficient: Amid Massive Technology Waste -- Case Study: Facebook's Hyperefficient Data Center -- Chapter 9 Mobile: If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Xiamen -- Case Study: The Boeing 787 and HCL Technologies -- Chapter 10 Maverick: No Rules.
