rewarding than being at the cutting edge.
If you get there first, you'll lead the pack, right? Not
necessarily! The skill-sets of most established companies, say
strategy experts Constantinos Markides and Paul Geroski, are far
better suited to scaling up newly created markets pioneered by
others (in other words, being "fast seconds") than to creating
these markets from scratch. In Fast Second, they explore the
characteristics of new markets, describe the skills needed to
create and compete in them, and show how these skills match up with
different types of companies. Drawing on examples of successful
fast-second firms such as Microsoft, Amazon, Canon, JVC, Heinz, and
many others, they illustrate how to determine which new markets
have the potential to be successful and how to move into them
before the competition does, when to make a move into a new market,
how to scale up a market, where to position a company in the
market, and whether to be a colonizer or a consolidator.

Index.
"A bold challenge to conventional thinking with plenty of
examples to support the authors' hypothesis."
(Voyager (BMI Inflight), February 2006)
"...a ring of real wisdom..." (Financial Times,
21st September 2005)
"This interesting book examines types of innovation and
how these can help companies succeed in creating and colonising new
markets." (Brand Strategy, May 2007)
"This is more than just an interesting new business book. It
is a bold challenge of the pervasive conventional wisdom of
building breakthrough, innovative capability as a foundation stone
of competitive advantage. Through their strong and clear argument
and their richly detailed examples, these leading strategic
thinkers present a provocative set of ideas that no manager (or
management teacher) can afford to ignore."
--Christopher A. Bartlett, Thomas D. Casserly, Jr. Professor of
Business Administration, Harvard Business School
"Fast Second will force cutting-edge leaders of big,
established companies to totally rethink radical innovation.
Conquering radical new markets is about timing and a smart strategy
for scaling them up, not creating them."
--Kathleen M. Eisenhardt, Stanford W. Ascherman M.D. Professor,
Stanford University, and coauthor, Competing on the Edge:
