Unbundling the Corporate Giants
Hi,
With today's news of HP's split, I recalled a couple of stats I recently saw:
- From 1973 to 1983, 350 corporations fell out of the Fortune 1000.
- From 2003 to 2013, 712 corporations fell out of the Fortune 1000.
It's becoming increasingly difficult for incumbents to stay ahead.
Interestingly, today, the threat to large corporations rarely comes from a single company or business model. If you unbundle a large corporation into its underlying businesses, there are tens or even hundreds of emerging companies attacking their products, their markets and their customers.
It is death by a thousand cuts.

New York - all sizzle, no steak
Of any market outside Silicon Valley, NY has probably garnered the most praise and buzz recently. So when Dan Primack of Fortune took NY out behind the woodshed recently, we had to dig into the data.
Have a great week ahead.
