Complements: Strategy Implications A customer values your product more when she has the complementary product
than when she has your product alone – Price of complement drops -> demand for your product increases
Complements create value and profit opportunities
Examples:– Hot dogs and ketchup– Cars and roads – Tires and restaurant guides– Hardware and software– “Piracy” and Silicon Valley – Theaters and ?
![Page 23: The Hive Think Tank: The Content Trap - Strategist's Guide to Digital Change](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022100802/587146541a28ab55588b5879/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Complements and Product Connections: Strategy Substitutes should be expensive, complements cheap
– The battle between digital giants
Substitutes should be restricted, complements ubiquitous
Core competence versus complements– Narrow versus broad definition of business

MTV and music

Digital streaming and prime-time viewership
Free online courses and classroom enrollment

Product Connections: Strategy
Product connections are pervasive
A result of consumer choice as much as technology
Requires deep understanding of user experience
Large opportunities to create and leverage positive connections

Functional Connections: Implications for Strategy
Context matters!– Customers, Competitors, Organization, History, Geography
Implications– Beware of best practice and indiscriminate benchmarking – Strategic choices have tradeoffs
And need alignment
![Page 33: The Hive Think Tank: The Content Trap - Strategist's Guide to Digital Change](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022100802/587146541a28ab55588b5879/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33© 2016 Bharat N. Anand
Proceed from strategic direction to functional initiatives rather than reverse
A common approach:– “Discuss initiatives
Free model New products & services for print Stronger marketing in local areas Re-price Sunday paper Bundling analysis Rationalize newsrooms More features in sports pages
– Assign initiative leaders for implementation”
– Result: incremental, misaligned, undifferentiated
Functional Connections: The Initiatives Trap
![Page 34: The Hive Think Tank: The Content Trap - Strategist's Guide to Digital Change](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022100802/587146541a28ab55588b5879/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34© 2016 Bharat N. Anand
Prioritize what’s most important to your customer
Strategic success comes from “saying no”
Functional Connections: Prioritization

Digital Transformation and Strategic Success
Traditional Mindset Offer the best quality product
Narrow product focus, core competence
Best practices and benchmarking
Digital success Networks and user connections
Complements and product connections
Recognize functional connections
Not Content and Product
But
Customers and Connections

Higher education: Digital Strategy?
“Will the classroom be abolished, and the child of the future be stuffed with facts as he sits at home?
–Bruce Bliven, The New Republic, 1924
Integration of online, hybrid, and collaborative learning…
Data-driven, personalized learning…
Intelligent tutoring systems…
Students as creators, not consumers…
