COMPLEMENTOR not Competitor !
Gianluigi Bodda
Chief Executive Officer at ATECSO (Automotive Technologies & solutions)
Creating value that can be captured is the essence of business.
The best way to capture value will obviously be different for different businesses. But one idea that we emphasize is working with what we term "complementors." A complementor is the opposite of a competitor. It is someone who makes your products and services more rather than less valuable. Not surprisingly, the complementor concept is especially relevant to the builders of the Information Economy. Hardware needs software and the Internet needs high-speed phone lines. No one, alone, can build the infrastructure for the new economy. It's a whole new system made up of many complementary parts. Too often we forget to focus this perspective !!! Everybody could be COMPLEMETOR respect another one !!!
