The Ecosystem Economy

Prepare your organization for a transformed competitive landscape.

The Ecosystem Economy offers a compelling new take on how the global economy is being fundamentally transformed by the acceleration of new technology development, evolving consumer preferences and behaviors, business models and organizational and performance management constructs. In the book, two McKinsey senior partners make the case that traditional sector siloes are breaking down. They demonstrate how business leaders at all levels can exploit disappearing barriers between sectors to reimagine and refocus their organizations’ efforts to create substantial and durable new competitive advantages.

You’ll learn why it’s so important for companies to adapt right now and develop new approaches to succeed in the face of a foundationally changed global economy driven by ecosystems. You’ll also discover how the ecosystem economy will continue to evolve and transform, as well as receive a comprehensive playbook you can apply to your own firm, regardless of its size.

An essential and incisive resource for executives, board members, and other business leaders seeking fresh approaches to doing business in the modern economy, The Ecosystem Economy will also earn a place in the libraries of investors looking for new ways to think about value propositions, competition, partnership, and performance management.
