非标定确定了正在重塑全球经济的力量,并将商业和社会的基本规律之一 - 规模经济 - 置于头顶。 技术与经济相结合的一种创新趋势正在破除业务和社会长期占据主导地位的巨大行业 - 包括企业,银行,农场,媒体集团,能源系统,政府和学校。规模和规模已成为一项责任。新一代的新贵正在使用人工智能来自动完成一些需要昂贵投资的任务,并“租用”技术平台为超集中的市场建立业务,使其在没有庞大组织的情况下发展壮大。 在非标定,风险投资家Hemant Taneja解释了未缩放的现象如何让Warby Parker便宜而轻松地创办一家小公司,建立一个更好的产品,并立即成为一个全球竞争对手,争夺眼镜巨头Luxottica。它同样使Stripe能够在世界各地建立支付处理器,Livongo帮助糖尿病患者控制疾病,同时降低治疗成本。未缩放的经济正在重塑大规模,根深蒂固的行业,并为企业家,富有想象力的公司和资源丰富的个人开启了极好的可能性。它可以成为解决世界上一些※大问题的模式,包括气候变化和高昂的医疗保健成本,但也会释放当今领导人必须解决的新挑战。 Unscaled identifies the forces that are reshaping the global economy and turning one of the fundamental laws of business and society--the economies of scale--on its head. An innovative trend combining technology with economics is unraveling behemoth industries--including corporations, banks, farms, media conglomerates, energy systems, governments, and schools-that have long dominated business and society. Size and scale have become a liability. A new generation of upstarts is using artificial intelligence to automate tasks that once required expensive investment, and "renting" technology platforms to build businesses for hyper-focused markets, enabling them to grow big without the bloat of giant organizations. In Unscaled, venture capitalist Hemant Taneja explains how the unscaled phenomenon allowed Warby Parker to cheaply and easily start a small company, build a better product, and become a global competitor in no time, upending entrenched eyewear giant Luxottica. It similarly enabled Stripe to take on established payment processors throughout the world, and Livongo to help diabetics control their disease while simultaneously cutting the cost of treatment. The unscaled economy is remaking massive, deeply rooted industries and opening up fantastic possibilities for entrepreneurs, imaginative companies, and resourceful individuals. It can be the model for solving some of the world's greatest problems, including climate change and soaring health-care costs, but will also unleash new challenges that today's leaders must address.
