Companies like Uber and Airbnb are destroying age-old industries and established brands by marginalizing their business models. These companies altered the competitive landscape by leveraging the power of networks, taking advantage of their self-organizing power to co-create along with customers.
Business leaders must respond now since networks are revolutionizing every industry.
Our research revealed that there are four business models that cut across all industries: Asset Builders, Service Providers, Technology Creators and Network Orchestrators. Consistently, these four categories of companies have valuations of 1, 2, 4, and 8 times revenues respectively.
