From competitive advantage to nodal advantage: Ecosystem structure and the new five forces that affect prosperity Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

In today's world, a group of entities rather than mainly a single firm coordinates a set of actions that deliver utility to mutually joined consumers, so creating ecosystems. In this informative article, we imply that in the current ecosystem-based production and consumption environment it is vital to recognize a fresh set of factors that determines business success. We then propose that in order to be able to come up with a network oriented outlook, it is imperative to make a transformation from the idea of firm-established competitive edge to ecosystem-based nodal advantage through which services and products, or procedures held by an individual firm and changing one or more ecosystems are manipulated separately to improve company. To this end, we provide a fresh set of five powers which will probably have an effect not only a node's financial profitability but also its susceptibility within its ecosystem and also the survival of the ecosystem itself. Based on these forces, we recommend the formulation of policies and also tactical triangulation to prevent infra-nodal substitution, raise stranglehold that is nodal, and improve ecosystemic transitions to be accommodated by nimbleness.
