Creare valore disgregando 
settori consolidati: il caso WhatsApp 
© Umberto Bertelè 3
Il caso WhatsApp (1/4) 
“WhatsApp è riuscita a distruggere il 
mercato degli SMS in soli 4 anni: 
un’operazione che avrebbe 
richiesto in altri tempi tra i 20 e i 30 anni”, 
ha sostenuto uno dei principali operatori mondiali di venture capital, in 
occasione della recente acquisizione di WhatsApp da parte di Facebook per 
19 miliardi di dollari. 
Diciannove miliardi per una start-up nata nel 2009, che è riuscita in 4 anni 
- investendo pochi soldi (60 milioni di dollari) e con pochissime persone (55 
in tutto), ma rinunciando quasi integralmente (dato il suo business model) ai 
ricavi - a superare la soglia dei 450 milioni di utilizzatori e dei 50 miliardi 
di messaggi processati al giorno: la più elevata velocità di crescita nella 
storia dell’economia mondiale 
© Umberto Bertelè 4
Il caso WhatsApp (2/4) 
Al di là dell’entità della cifra pagata, è 
proprio la velocità con cui WhatsApp e le 
start-up sue concorrenti stanno 
disgregando un mercato ricco come quello 
degli SMS, con pesantissimi danni per gli operatori telecom che lo 
controllano, che merita riflessione. 
Anche perché si tratta di un mercato di nascita relativamente recente, 
sviluppatosi (fino all’avvento degli smartphone) con il diffondersi dei 
cellulari, e anche perché i soccombenti sono in larga maggioranza grandi 
imprese. 
Così come merita riflessione il fatto che i nuovi entranti - WhatsApp e le 
altre start-up – sottraggano alle imprese incumbent quote crescenti di 
mercato, ma non subentrino a esse (se non in minima parte) 
nei ricavi e nei profitti, perché offrono i servizi alternativi (quasi) 
gratuitamente.

Il caso WhatsApp (3/4) 
Quali sono stati gli ingredienti alla base 
del fenomeno WhatsApp? Se ne possono 
evidenziare almeno cinque: 
• la possibilità nata con gli smartphone di un accesso in mobilità a Internet 
e quindi di un convogliamento alternativo dei messaggi; 
• la possibilità passando attraverso Internet di aggirare la politica di 
discriminazione dei prezzi in funzione degli utilizzi applicata dagli 
operatori telecom: quale ad esempio l’inclusione nei messaggi stessi di 
foto; 
• la disponibilità crescente di banda larga (broadband), per i suoi riflessi 
sulla qualità dei servizi fatti transitare attraverso Internet; 
• la disponibilità di una infrastruttura sempre più consistente di cloud 
© Umberto Bertelè 6 
computing; 
• il costo estremamente contenuto per la creazione e la diffusione di una 
app di così grande successo.
Il caso WhatsApp (4/4) 
La crescita di WhatsApp attraverso la 
disgregazione di un settore ricco come 
quello degli SMS è un caso esemplare di 
big-bang disruption…… 
……cioè il fenomeno, dilagante nell’economia, di sparizione di interi 
settori o comunque di stravolgimento delle loro logiche competitive 
per l’entrata in gioco di business model completamente (quale quello di 
WhatsApp) o parzialmente alternativi, resi possibili dalla più recente 
ondata di innovazioni tecnologiche e di investimenti infrastrutturali 
nell’ICT.

Swatch Switches Gears on Smartwatches as Apple Looms 
Its Stock Falling, Swatch Adds 'Smart' Features to Watches 
Swatch Group is starting to 
get worried about 
smartwatches. Over the past 
12 months, Swatch shares 
have fallen nearly 11%, more 
than rivals Richemont and 
LVMH. 
For years Swatch has 
dismissed Internet-enabled 
watches as novelties that 
won't disrupt business at the 
world's biggest watchmaker. 
Aug. 25, 2014 
The company said it is introducing fitness functions, a key feature of smartwatches, 
to its Touch line of digital watches.

Cameras Succumb to Smartphone Juggernaut 
There was a time when it would have been 
crazy to suggest that a phone camera would 
ever approach the speed and quality of a 
stand-alone camera. Now, that day is over. 
Sales of point-and-shoot cameras have been 
declining for years .. Taking a picture with a 
phone simply isn't a subpar experience. For 
most people, most of the time, a phone is all 
you need. 
NOV. 10, 2013 
What the phone did to the camera isn't an isolated incident. The story 
behind the death of the stand-alone camera is a history of the future of 
almost everything.

Smartphones Expose Camera Makers' Shortcomings 
Sales of Mass-Market Models Plummet, and High-End Hopes Look Misplaced 
(1/2) 
Smartphones are killing off the 
once-core business of compact 
digital cameras. Worse still, 
hopes that sales of high-end 
models would make up the 
shortfall now look misplaced. 
Sales of compact cameras are 
already tumbling fast at Canon 
and Nikon, which together sold 
44% of all cameras globally last 
year.

... At Canon sales of compact

earlier. At Nikon sales were down

That wasn't a surprise given 
smartphone cameras are essentially 
making compact cameras seem 
increasingly obsolete…

Nintendo’s declining sales put change of game plan on 
cards 
Nintendo announced that it had cut its net 
profit forecast of Y55bn ($527m) in the 
year to March to a net loss of Y25bn, as 
sales of its Wii U games console and 3DS 
handheld unit fell well short of global 
targets .. 
The core problem is that the world’s largest games machine maker has 
been hurt by the big shift to mobile devices. Casual gamers are abandoning 
specialised hardware in favour of playing on phones and tablet computers, 
on which titles can be downloaded at a fraction of the cost ..

Apps have become the core feature 
of every smartphone. Work or 
leisure, finance or fitness, apps are 
available for anything you could 
dream up – and probably some you 
could not. 
Mobile app stores recorded 64bn 
downloads last year .. Revenues 
are forecast to soar to $26bn this 
year, from $18bn in 2012.

And it is not just smartphones. The 
increasing popularity of tablets has 
opened up even more possibilities 
for app designers .. Practical tools 
such as Google Maps and social 
media such as Facebook are some of 
the most widely used apps, 
but games dominate the market .. 
“About 70 to 80 per cent of revenues 
on Google Play and iTunes come 
from games” ..

Smartphone owners’ appetite for new apps wanes 
The average number of apps downloaded on a monthly basis has decreased 
considerably in 2014. As smartphones saturate mobile markets in the US

Film in streaming a pagamento: Lo «store» Google arriva anche in 
Italia 
Si arricchisce il mercato del cinema on line a pagamento . Sul play disponibili pellicole a noleggio e in 
abbonamento Un nuovo contendente cerca di portare in 
Italia lo streaming legale di film: si chiama 
Google ed è pronto a dare battaglia ai 
numerosi concorrenti. Da oggi infatti anche in 
Italia sarà possibile noleggiare o acquistare 
film da Google Play, il negozio online del 
colosso delle ricerche già noto per la vendita 
di applicazioni, giochi, musica e libri. 
Google sbarca in un mercato affollatissimo dove i servizi abbondano: 
ITUNES (Apple); CHILI TV (cui partecipa anche il «Corriere» con il Cinema Store); CUBO 
VISION (Telecom Italia); MYMOVIESWIDE!; VODDLER (arrivato in Italia a maggio); XBOX 
VIDEO (Microsoft); PLAYSTATION 3 (Videostore di Sony). 
Entro fine anno arriveranno anche le piattaforme di Mediaset e Sky.

YouTube ad revenue surges to $5.6bn 
Advertisers will spend a 
projected $5.6bn on YouTube in 
2013, an increase of more than 
50 per cent on the previous 
year, according to a report. 
The sharp rise, which follows 
an explosion of viewing on 
mobile devices, comes as 
advertisers strive to 
reach younger consumers who 
have drifted away from 
television ..

Streaming services take toll on digital music sales 
Long considered the music industry’s best prospect for growth, US digital 
music sales declined in 2013 for the first time since the launch of Apple’s 
iTunes store in 2003… US digital single track sales dropped 6 per cent in 
2013 to 1.26bn units from 1.34bn in 2012... 
Total digital album sales were about flat year 
on year, with 118m units sold. 
The sales decline comes amid the fast growth 
of streaming music services, such as Spotify, 
Deezer and Rdio. .. The total number of audio 
and video streams surged 24 per cent to 50m 
streams during the first half of 2013 
compared with the same period the year 
before ..

Second wind 
Some traditional businesses are thriving in 
an age of disruptive innovation 
Even staid businesses such as law firms and universities are 
threatened by technology-cum-globalisation. 
But look at the air more closely and you can see some 
strange objects floating around: 
- Swiss watches 
- Montblanc fountain pens 
- Harris Tweed jackets 
- old-fashioned sailing boats. 
Management gurus may tell people to bow down before the great god of 
disruptive innovation. 
But some companies are cheerfully doing the opposite - preserving or 
resuscitating traditional technologies and business models.

L’Editoria: I giornali 
Due business model tradizionali per il giornale “cartaceo”: 
• la formula mista “lettori + pubblicità”, con il passaggio per le edicole o la 
distribuzione diretta (prevalentemente per abbonamento) 
• la formula “free press”, solo pubblicità, con la distribuzione diretta gratuita nei 
© Umberto Bertelè 33 
punti di grande passaggio. 
Che cosa succede con l’avvento di Internet? 
• cresce la disponibilità di notizie gratuite su web, che comincia ad assorbire 
fatturato pubblicitario; 
• inizia la vendita online dei giornali, con effetti abbastanza limitati; 
• iniziano a scendere, anche per effetto della crisi, sia le vendite cartacee sia la 
pubblicità sui giornali; 
• inizia un lento processo di riorganizzazione dei giornali, diverso a seconda dei 
paesi, con una progressiva fusione fra le redazioni cartacea e online
L’Editoria: I giornali 
Che cosa succede con l’avvento di smartphone + tablet + app + 
cloud+ banda larga? 
• cresce molto, soprattutto con il tablet, la vendita online: limitata però ai 
giornali più importanti e non tale da bilanciare le perdite nelle copie cartacee (se 
non forse per giornali specializzati come FT e WSJ); 
• il prelievo sulla vendita (che avviene attraverso app) è forte: il 30 per cento nel 
© Umberto Bertelè 34 
caso di Apple; 
• cresce il contenzioso con gli OTT per la sottrazione illecita di news, con un 
paradosso: senza il passaggio attraverso gli OTT un giornale “non esiste”; 
• calano drasticamente le vendite del “cartaceo” e cala drasticamente la 
pubblicità, facendo entrare in crisi anche giornali come il NYT; 
• “mai così tanti lettori come adesso (Ferruccio De Bortoli)”, ma mai così pochi 
soldi; 
• violente ristrutturazioni, come quella recente di RCS; 
• chiusura di moltissime edicole (un terzo delle esistenti a Milano), che vedono 
esaurirsi la loro funzione.

Barnes & Noble, the Last Big Bookseller Standing: But for How Long?

.. Despite a heavy investment in the Nook business, 
Barnes & Noble is expected to have a three-year 
cumulative loss of more than $700 million 
On January 3, Barnes & Noble said its holiday sales for 
the nine-week period ending December 29 were $1.2 
billion, down 10.9% from a year ago. .. Nook product 
sales fell 12.6% from a year ago. 
Barnes & Noble isn’t alone. Many traditional retailers are struggling against 
online powerhouse Amazon.com: Best Buy, Target, .. 
Bricks-and-mortar retailers are battling a phenomenon called “the showrooming 
effect“: the consumer practice of checking out a product in a retail store and then 
buying it online at a better price. ..

JAN 16, 2013 
… Despite the bankruptcy of chief competitor Borders in 
2011, Barnes & Noble has struggled to increase sales. It 
has actively moved to address consumers’ rapid shift 
from print to digital books and to combat Amazon’s 
expanding Kindle business. However, Barnes & Noble’s 
Nook now faces a growing number of competitors .. 
The challenge for Barnes & Noble is that it lacks a strong digital content 
ecosystem relative to Amazon, Apple and Google. Both Apple and Amazon, for 
example, have invested heavily in video content and digital music distribution. 
Barnes & Noble historically has focused solely on books. 
“Barnes & Noble is the last bookstore chain standing,” says Wharton 
management professor Steve Kobrin, “There’s still a niche there, but it may go to 
small independent bookstores.”

The largest U.S. brick-and-mortar 
bookseller, beset by tough competition 
from online retailers like Amazon and 
discount stores like Wal-Mart, plans to

Investors applauded the news, sending 
shares up more than 6 percent in midday 
trading.

Staples: trouble in store 
Retailer faces a double whammy akin 
to the book industry 
Another rough day for bricks and 
mortar retail. Staples, the US office-supplies 
chain, said that it would close 
up to 225 stores in North America 
over the next two years. 
That is about 12 per cent of the 1,846 it had at the end of 2013. Also this week, 
RadioShack, the troubled electronics retailer, said that it was shutting up to 1,100 
stores (about a fifth of its total.) Technology in general and Amazon in particular 
are transforming the way people buy stuff. All retailers are trying to work out how 
to transform themselves in order to survive.

Target Fills Its Cart With Some of Amazon's Tricks 
(1/2) 
Target has come up with an answer to Amazon.com. Copy it. 
The discount chain's latest online offerings have a distinct 
Amazon feel - from recurring deliveries for diapers to on-demand 
streaming video and free shipping and discounts for 
its members. All emulate similar offers from the e-commerce 
company. 
Target says Amazon is just one of many competitors and 
it isn't mimicking anyone. Still, the moves highlight an 
important fact of doing business at Target: the 
customer who visits the discounter's giant stores and 
the customer who orders online from Amazon are 
increasingly the same person.

(2/2) 
The deep overlap poses a significant threat to a 
company that despite the cultural moves and heavy 
investment continues to struggle with e-commerce, 
even as customers shift more and more of their 
shopping online. 
Target's Internet sales are less than 2% of its $73 
billion in total sales last year. By comparison, 
Amazon's North America sales rose 30% last year to 
$35 billion, most of it in categories of goods that 
Target also sells.

Big fashion names fund shopping app 
Retailer faces a double whammy akin 
to the book industry 
Some of the fashion world’s biggest names are backing a 
fledgling New York ecommerce platform that aims to use 
the familiarity of social media hallmarks to make shopping 
easier on a mobile phone. 
Lew Frankfort .. and Groupe Arnault, the fund controlled by LVMH’s Bernard Arnault, have all 
invested in a recent $7.5m funding round for Spring, a mobile app that launches in the US. 
Spring is a direct-sales marketplace targeting young, twenty-something female 
professionals that combines the visual aesthetic of photo-sharing app Instagram with the 
compulsive swipe function of dating app Tinder and the “favouriting” and “following” 
components of Twitter. 
Spring provides the software and technological infrastructure, while the fashion companies 
handle inventory and shipping via their existing ecommerce operations.

China e-commerce love affair breaks records on Single’s Day 
Monday in China was Single’s Day, a day that e-commerce companies have turned 
into the world’s biggest day for online shopping by offering a steady stream of 
promotions and deep discounts. 
By 1:04pm on Monday, sales on Alibaba, the nation’s largest e-commerce group, 
reached $3.1bn. At midnight, this figure had almost doubled to $5.7bn. 
Last year, revenue from online sales in China was between $190bn-$210bn, a close

Alibaba to raise up to $21.1bn in IPO 
Alibaba is seeking to raise up to $21.1bn 
on the New York Stock Exchange in what 
will be one of the largest IPO on record, 
with a price range of $60 to $66. At the top 
of the range this would value the company 
at about $160bn. 
At $16bn, Facebook’s listing in 2012 is the 
largest technology or internet-related IPO. 
Alibaba is China’s largest ecommerce platform, controlling as much as 80 per cent 
of the market, with nearly $300bn worth of goods sold on its marketplaces last 
year (more than comparable figures for Amazon.com and eBay combined). 
Alibaba has been facing competition from other Chinese Internet companies, 
including Tencent, as they all work to lure China's 500 million smartphone users.

Airbnb Is in Advanced Talks to Raise Funds at a 
$10 Billion Valuation 
The rich price tag reflects Airbnb's potential to 
disrupt the hotel industry. In six years, the company 
has become a required destination for millions of 
tourists looking for cheap rooms, while giving 
homeowners a new source of income. 
The company could be worth more than Wyndham 
Worldwide, which manages 7,500 hotels under the 
Wyndham, Ramada and other brands, and is 
valued at $9.3 billion. Hyatt Hotels has a market 
value of $8.4 billion.

Uber hit with nationwide ban in Germany 
Uber is facing its biggest legal challenge so far after its most popular service was banned 
throughout Germany, marking the first time the disruptive taxi app has been hit with a 
countrywide restriction. The temporary injunction imposed by Frankfurt’s Regional Court 
prohibits the fast-growing company from operating its Uber Pop “ride-sharing” service. 
Uber said it would continue to operate in defiance 
of the injunction, but it faces fines of up to 
€250,000 ($328,000) per trip if it is caught violating 
the ban, which does not affect its higher-priced 
"Black" limousine service. 
Ride-sharing companies allow anybody who 
passes a background check to act as an ad-hoc taxi 
driver after being hailed by a smartphone app. 
Critics say the model poses safety risks and skirts regulations that licensed taxi drivers must 
adhere to, while Uber and other start-ups say it increases consumer choice and creates 
jobs. Amid escalating regulatory challenges and battles with taxi operators around the 
world, Uber last month hired David Plouffe, election campaign manager to Barack Obama, 
to lead its strategic and policy response.

Silicon Valley start-ups vie to make online credit work 
(1/2) 
Lending working capital to small businesses hardly sounds like the sexy end 
of the digital industry. But something of a race is on between a band of 
internet start-ups – many with big-name backers [i.e. Google, David 
Bonderman (co-founder of private equity firm TPG), Vikram Pandit and Tom 
Glocer (former CEOs respectively of Citigroup and Thomson Reuters)] - that 
see this as one of the best avenues to breaking into the financial services 
world.

Manually collecting and analysing the information needed to understand 
whether a business can remain solvent is a costly activity. That usually 
makes it uneconomic to lend the small amounts of cash that small 
businesses need. Automating this process promises to change the 
economics.

Silicon Valley start-ups vie to make online credit work 
(2/2) 
The ability to pull in accounting data automatically from a borrower’s own 
books has been made easier by the fact that much of that information now 
resides in cloud services. Most lenders also draw on other pools of data – 
from government census surveys to user reviews on online sites such as Yelp 
– to build their risk models and gather a full picture of a business’s 
prospects. Crunching the data with algorithms, rather than human analysts, 
has further reduced overheads.

Lending Club seeks to raise more than $500m in IPO 
Lending Club moved ahead with plans for an IPO that will test investor demand 
for peer-to-peer lenders. 
The San Francisco-based company, founded in 2007, is likely to seek a valuation of 
about $5bn and hopes to raise more than $500m. 
The company runs an online marketplace for connecting borrowers and lenders. It 
has facilitated more than $5bn in loans, including over $1bn in the second quarter 
of 2014. 
Unlike a bank, Lending Club does not assume credit risk or use its own capital to 
invest in loans. Investors have been lured by high-yielding loans in the platform 
during a period of historically low interest rates.

Apple plans to include short-range wireless 
technology in its coming smartwatch, 
signaling that it sees a role for the device in

The gadget's use of near-field communication, or NFC, reflects Apple's broader 
ambitions for the so-called iWatch beyond health and fitness tracking. 
Apple also is expected to add the wireless technology to the next versions of its

Indian start-ups tap into mobile payments technology 
A handful of Indian start-ups, aided by a growing 
number of global investors, are hoping to roll out types 
of mobile technology first popularised by Silicon Valley 
start-up Square. 
Square and its rivals, including eBay’s PayPal unit, make credit card readers that 
plug into smartphones for use by small scale merchants from artisans to babysitters 
who often avoid the hassle of accepting cards. 
Leading Indian start-ups such as Ezetap and Mswipe might not have Square’s 
heady valuation – which was put at about $5bn in January – but their technology 
works in much the same way, while targeting the more basic phones that remain 
common in India and other emerging markets. 
International enthusiasm for the sector was underlined last week when American 
Express took a minority stake in Bangalore-based Ezetap.

Banks Vie for a Piece of Africa's Mobile

Where Most Have a Phone and Few Have Bank Accounts, 
Telecom Operators Dominate Fast-Growing Business 
In Kenya, where telecom companies dominate the 
mobile-payments market, one of the country's largest 
banks is fighting to retake some of its traditional turf. 
M-Pesa - owned by Safaricom, the Kenyan subsidiary of 
global telecom giant Vodafone - is Kenya's most popular 
mobile-payments service. 
M-Pesa, launched in 2007, handles $18 billion in 
transactions annually. They come from cow herders in 
the country's dusty Rift Valley villages, pedicab drivers in 
the bustling port of Mombasa and technology 
entrepreneurs in traffic-clogged Nairobi. Together, they 
are equivalent to 43% of Kenya's economic output.

The Money Is in the Email 
Square Cash Lets Users Email Funds to Friends 
While you can buy a $500 iPad at Amazon.com with a single 
click, sending even small amounts of cash to a friend or relative is 
still often a tedious and slow task. In most cases, you wind up 
doing exactly what you would have in 1957 - writing a check and 
mailing it. The recipient then has to cash it or deposit it in her 
bank account. 
But starting Tuesday, you can just email cash, free of charge, directly from your debit card to 
anyone else's, regardless of what bank each party uses. There's no login or password to 
remember and no special software or hardware required - you just use email. It works on 
both ends using any email service or program on any email-capable device, whether a 
computer, a smartphone or a tablet. 
This new service, called Square Cash, comes from Square, best known for equipping small 
brick-and-mortar merchants with smartphone-swiping devices that allow them to accept 
credit cards, and with tablets that act as sophisticated cash registers.

A drab office block in a busy inner suburb of Mexico City is the epicentre of one of the most

paramedics, dressed in starched white coats, sit in cubicles waiting to answer phones. The 
medics are supported by computer systems loaded with protocols pooled from some of the

This little call-centre is the heart of Medicall Home, created by a telemarketing 
entrepreneur, Pedro Yrigoyen, which provides a bare-bones primary healthcare service for 
about five million Mexicans for just $5 a month, paid through their mobile phone bill. 
Two-thirds of the issues raised by callers are resolved over the phone .. If Medicall Home

Cars that use radar sensors and cameras to detect other cars or objects and

technology could go a step further, and warn drivers of potential collisions with 
cars they or their bumper-mounted cameras and radars can't see.

adopting a rule by 2016 requiring such vehicle-to-vehicle communications

February 25th, to value the company at over $30 billion 
(GM is worth only twice as much). 
Morgan Stanley reckons that the battery factory will also 
make it a leading competitor in low-cost energy storage, 
the key to making renewable energy more practical. The 
bank is also confident that Tesla’s Silicon Valley location 
will put it in the driverless front seat of autonomous 
motoring.

Michigan Is Building A Fake City Just To Test Driverless Cars 
Testing automated vehicles is a risky 
process, which is why Michigan’s 
Department of Transportation and the 
University of Michigan have joined 
forces to create a 30-acre urban 
environment that will be used 
specifically for testing driverless cars. 
It will occupy 30 acres at Michigan University’s North Campus Research Complex, 
where the Mobility Transformation Facility (MTF) will simulate the broad range of 
complexities vehicles encounter in urban and suburban environments. 
This will include approximately three lane-miles of roads, complete with 
intersections, traffic signs and signals, sidewalks, benches, simulated buildings, 
street lights, and obstacles such as construction barriers.

Robots: rise of the machines 
As you invest in the future, you are betting on your own demise 
Neelie Kroes, vice-president of the European 
Commission, warned robot makers they would 
have to address public fears that their 
creations would terminate millions of jobs. 
One study estimates that 47 per cent of US 
jobs are at risk from smarter, harder-working 
robots. 
Last year the number of industrial robots sold globally hit a record high at 179,000, 
up from just over 80,000 a decade ago. Some 95,000 professional service robots, 
valued at about $17.1bn, are expected to be installed between 2013 and 2015, and 
the global market for automated labour is forecast to hit close to $82bn by 2020. 
China, trying to cope with rising labour costs and rapidly growing demand, is 
installing robots at a record pace.

3D printing: a powerful technology, but no panacea 
Corporate leaders are continually warned that additive manufacturing (more 
commonly known as 3D printing) will cataclysmically disrupt virtually all businesses 
on the planet. 
Futuristic visions encompass everything from custom 3D-printed cars to human 
organs available on demand for transplants. 
The reality, however, is rather different. Companies are using additive 
manufacturing (AM) today to complement established methods such as injection 
moulding and casting. And AM is not likely to replace these methods in the near 
future for several reasons.

3D printing 
(1/2) 
The economics of 3-D printing are improving rapidly. While still only a 
sliver of value in the manufacturing sector (0.02 percent), sales of 3- 
D printers are set to double, to $4 billion, by 2015, and prices for the 
equipment are declining swiftly. Also, 3-D printers open up the 
possibility of more distributed production networks and radical 
customization. 
In early manufacturing applications, some companies are using the 
devices to accelerate product development, since they eliminate wait 
times for prototyping by faraway specialists.

January 2014 
3D printing 
(2/2) 
Companies will be able to consider new supply-chain models and, in 
some cases, replace traditional suppliers of parts with targeted usage 
of in-house printers. 
These printers won’t replace traditional high-volume modes of 
production, such as die casting and stamping. 
For more specialized goods, though, it’s easy to imagine the 
emergence of service businesses - the equivalent of copy or print 
shops - that would manufacture items based on design specifications 
provided by B2B or B2C customers. Crowdsourcing networks for new-product 
ideas could one day complement traditional R&D activities 
for some manufacturers.

Spare a thought for Silicon Valley’s rust belt(1/2) 
More cost-cutting to come at suppliers of corporate technology 
Shrinking revenues. Stagnant share prices in 
the midst of a stock market boom. 
Doubts that some will ever see significant 
growth again. 
While younger companies riding the social 
media, cloud and mobile waves are all the 
rage on Wall Street, large parts of the tech 
industry are in a funk. 
Companies missing out on the stock market party include some of the biggest 
suppliers of corporate technology, including IBM, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and 
Oracle. Microsoft and Intel have also been left behind by the rise of mobile.

Spare a thought for Silicon Valley’s rust belt(2/2) 
More cost-cutting to come at suppliers of corporate technology 
In the four years to 2010, their combined 
revenues grew 30 per cent despite a blow to 
demand from the 2008 financial crisis. The 
following four years, by contrast, are expected 
to show growth of only 9 per cent. 
Most have at least managed to maintain a 
good earnings record, thanks to cost-cutting 
and share buybacks. 
As the Financial Times reported last year, some creative accounting to hide 
supposedly “one off” costs has also helped to lift profits.

The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will 
be immense - and no country is ready for it 
(1/4) 
107 
Innovation has always cost people their jobs .. For those who believe that 
technological progress has made the world better, such churn is a natural 
part of rising prosperity. 
Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones .. but for 
workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves 
evident faster than its benefits. Even if new jobs and wonderful products 
emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social 
dislocation and perhaps even changing politics ..
JAN 14, 2014 
The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will 
be immense - and no country is ready for it 
(2/4) 
108 
Over the past three decades, labour’s share of output has shrunk globally 
from 64% to 59%. Meanwhile, the share of income going to the top 1% in 
America has risen from around 9% in the 1970s to 22% today .. 
Worse, it seems likely that this wave of technological disruption to the job 
market has only just started .. The public sector is one obvious target: it has 
proved singularly resistant to tech-driven reinvention. But the step change in 
what computers can do will have a powerful effect on middle-class jobs in 
the private sector too ..
JAN 14, 2014 
The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will 
be immense - and no country is ready for it 
(3/4) 
The digital revolution is transforming the process of innovation itself ... The 
number of digital startups has exploded .. It takes years for new industries 
to grow, whereas the disruption a startup causes to incumbents is felt 
sooner. 
109 
Airbnb may turn homeowners with spare rooms into entrepreneurs, but it 
poses a direct threat to the lower end of the hotel business - a massive 
employer .. If this analysis is halfway correct, the social effects will be 
huge .. Innovation has brought great benefits to humanity….
JAN 14, 2014 
The effect of today’s technology on tomorrow’s jobs will 
be immense - and no country is ready for it 
(4/4) 
110 
But the benefits of technological 
progress are unevenly distributed, 
especially in the early stages of 
each new wave, and it is up to 
governments to spread them. 
In the 19th century it took the threat 
of revolution to bring about 
progressive reforms. Today’s 
governments would do well to start 
making the changes needed before 
their people get angry.

Davos 2014: Google's Schmidt warning on jobs 
Google chairman, Eric Schmidt, has 
warned the jobs problem will be "the 
defining one" for the next two-three 
decades .. He said given the constant 
development of new technology, more 
and more middle class workers 
would lose their jobs .. 
Mr Schmidt compared the situation to the industrial revolution .. He pointed 
out that .. more jobs were created by small companies and therefore 
entrepreneurs needed more support.

Umberto Bertelè - Pensiero innovativo, strategia, pianificazione: le ricette per ricominciare a correre

  • 3. Creare valore disgregando settori consolidati: il caso WhatsApp © Umberto Bertelè 3
  • 4. Il caso WhatsApp (1/4) “WhatsApp è riuscita a distruggere il mercato degli SMS in soli 4 anni: un’operazione che avrebbe richiesto in altri tempi tra i 20 e i 30 anni”, ha sostenuto uno dei principali operatori mondiali di venture capital, in occasione della recente acquisizione di WhatsApp da parte di Facebook per 19 miliardi di dollari. Diciannove miliardi per una start-up nata nel 2009, che è riuscita in 4 anni - investendo pochi soldi (60 milioni di dollari) e con pochissime persone (55 in tutto), ma rinunciando quasi integralmente (dato il suo business model) ai ricavi - a superare la soglia dei 450 milioni di utilizzatori e dei 50 miliardi di messaggi processati al giorno: la più elevata velocità di crescita nella storia dell’economia mondiale © Umberto Bertelè 4
  • 5. Il caso WhatsApp (2/4) Al di là dell’entità della cifra pagata, è proprio la velocità con cui WhatsApp e le start-up sue concorrenti stanno disgregando un mercato ricco come quello degli SMS, con pesantissimi danni per gli operatori telecom che lo controllano, che merita riflessione. Anche perché si tratta di un mercato di nascita relativamente recente, sviluppatosi (fino all’avvento degli smartphone) con il diffondersi dei cellulari, e anche perché i soccombenti sono in larga maggioranza grandi imprese. Così come merita riflessione il fatto che i nuovi entranti - WhatsApp e le altre start-up – sottraggano alle imprese incumbent quote crescenti di mercato, ma non subentrino a esse (se non in minima parte) nei ricavi e nei profitti, perché offrono i servizi alternativi (quasi) gratuitamente. © Umberto Bertelè 5
  • 6. Il caso WhatsApp (3/4) Quali sono stati gli ingredienti alla base del fenomeno WhatsApp? Se ne possono evidenziare almeno cinque: • la possibilità nata con gli smartphone di un accesso in mobilità a Internet e quindi di un convogliamento alternativo dei messaggi; • la possibilità passando attraverso Internet di aggirare la politica di discriminazione dei prezzi in funzione degli utilizzi applicata dagli operatori telecom: quale ad esempio l’inclusione nei messaggi stessi di foto; • la disponibilità crescente di banda larga (broadband), per i suoi riflessi sulla qualità dei servizi fatti transitare attraverso Internet; • la disponibilità di una infrastruttura sempre più consistente di cloud © Umberto Bertelè 6 computing; • il costo estremamente contenuto per la creazione e la diffusione di una app di così grande successo.
  • 7. Il caso WhatsApp (4/4) La crescita di WhatsApp attraverso la disgregazione di un settore ricco come quello degli SMS è un caso esemplare di big-bang disruption…… ……cioè il fenomeno, dilagante nell’economia, di sparizione di interi settori o comunque di stravolgimento delle loro logiche competitive per l’entrata in gioco di business model completamente (quale quello di WhatsApp) o parzialmente alternativi, resi possibili dalla più recente ondata di innovazioni tecnologiche e di investimenti infrastrutturali nell’ICT. © Umberto Bertelè 7

For most people, most of the time, a phone is all you need. NOV. 10, 2013 What the phone did to the camera isn't an isolated incident.

Che cosa succede con l’avvento di Internet? • cresce la disponibilità di notizie gratuite su web, che comincia ad assorbire fatturato pubblicitario; • inizia la vendita online dei giornali, con effetti abbastanza limitati; • iniziano a scendere, anche per effetto della crisi, sia le vendite cartacee sia la pubblicità sui giornali; • inizia un lento processo di riorganizzazione dei giornali, diverso a seconda dei paesi, con una progressiva fusione fra le redazioni cartacea e online

Despite a heavy investment in the Nook business, Barnes & Noble is expected to have a three-year cumulative loss of more than $700 million On January 3, Barnes & Noble said its holiday sales for the nine-week period ending December 29 were $1.2 billion, down 10.9% from a year ago. .. Nook product sales fell 12.6% from a year ago. Barnes & Noble isn’t alone. Many traditional retailers are struggling against online powerhouse Amazon.com: Best Buy, Target, .. Bricks-and-mortar retailers are battling a phenomenon called “the showrooming effect“: the consumer practice of checking out a product in a retail store and then buying it online at a better price. ..
  • 37. Barnes & Noble, the Last Big Bookseller Standing: But for How Long? (2/2) © Umberto Bertelè 37 JAN 16, 2013 … Despite the bankruptcy of chief competitor Borders in 2011, Barnes & Noble has struggled to increase sales. It has actively moved to address consumers’ rapid shift from print to digital books and to combat Amazon’s expanding Kindle business. However, Barnes & Noble’s Nook now faces a growing number of competitors .. The challenge for Barnes & Noble is that it lacks a strong digital content ecosystem relative to Amazon, Apple and Google. Both Apple and Amazon, for example, have invested heavily in video content and digital music distribution. Barnes & Noble historically has focused solely on books. “Barnes & Noble is the last bookstore chain standing,” says Wharton management professor Steve Kobrin, “There’s still a niche there, but it may go to small independent bookstores.”

Investors applauded the news, sending shares up more than 6 percent in midday trading.

  • 56. September 2, 2014 Uber hit with nationwide ban in Germany Uber is facing its biggest legal challenge so far after its most popular service was banned throughout Germany, marking the first time the disruptive taxi app has been hit with a countrywide restriction. The temporary injunction imposed by Frankfurt’s Regional Court prohibits the fast-growing company from operating its Uber Pop “ride-sharing” service. Uber said it would continue to operate in defiance of the injunction, but it faces fines of up to €250,000 ($328,000) per trip if it is caught violating the ban, which does not affect its higher-priced "Black" limousine service. Ride-sharing companies allow anybody who passes a background check to act as an ad-hoc taxi driver after being hailed by a smartphone app. Critics say the model poses safety risks and skirts regulations that licensed taxi drivers must adhere to, while Uber and other start-ups say it increases consumer choice and creates jobs. Amid escalating regulatory challenges and battles with taxi operators around the world, Uber last month hired David Plouffe, election campaign manager to Barack Obama, to lead its strategic and policy response. © Umberto Bertelè 56

But something of a race is on between a band of internet start-ups – many with big-name backers [i.e. Google, David Bonderman (co-founder of private equity firm TPG), Vikram Pandit and Tom Glocer (former CEOs respectively of Citigroup and Thomson Reuters)] - that see this as one of the best avenues to breaking into the financial services world. 58 Manually collecting and analysing the information needed to understand whether a business can remain solvent is a costly activity. That usually makes it uneconomic to lend the small amounts of cash that small businesses need. Automating this process promises to change the economics.

April 10, 2014 Silicon Valley start-ups vie to make online credit work (2/2) The ability to pull in accounting data automatically from a borrower’s own books has been made easier by the fact that much of that information now resides in cloud services. Most lenders also draw on other pools of data – from government census surveys to user reviews on online sites such as Yelp – to build their risk models and gather a full picture of a business’s prospects. Crunching the data with algorithms, rather than human analysts, has further reduced overheads. 59

FT - March 24, 2014 Indian start-ups tap into mobile payments technology A handful of Indian start-ups, aided by a growing number of global investors, are hoping to roll out types of mobile technology first popularised by Silicon Valley start-up Square. Square and its rivals, including eBay’s PayPal unit, make credit card readers that plug into smartphones for use by small scale merchants from artisans to babysitters who often avoid the hassle of accepting cards. Leading Indian start-ups such as Ezetap and Mswipe might not have Square’s heady valuation – which was put at about $5bn in January – but their technology works in much the same way, while targeting the more basic phones that remain common in India and other emerging markets.

These printers won’t replace traditional high-volume modes of production, such as die casting and stamping. For more specialized goods, though, it’s easy to imagine the emergence of service businesses - the equivalent of copy or print shops - that would manufacture items based on design specifications provided by B2B or B2C customers. Crowdsourcing networks for new-product ideas could one day complement traditional R&D activities for some manufacturers.
