Authors pick 14 different companies
Made 7 comparisons with 10x co, and average performing co.
“Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not?”
Five characteristics of uncertainty and chaos.
Foundation Research Methodology

Selected various industries and companies
Time period from 1970s-2002
Matched pair methodology
Study a small number of cases with more detail.
Key benefit: avoid “sampling of success.”

Two overreaching principles
When comparison company became public, it should have been similar in comparison to 10 x company (industry, age, size).
Registered average market performance

Clear difference between 10x and comparison co, supported with evidence.
Explanation why the difference affected the outcome.
Cross Pair Analysis, Concept Generation, Financial Analysis, and Event-History Analysis.

Is a sample size of 14 too small? “The test of whether we had and adequate
study set was whether we were confident that we had enough pairs to detect a pattern across all of the companies.”
Generalized findings: only studied US, companies, only studied companies from 1970-2002.
Limitations & Issues
![Page 10: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Authors state that if you adopt these principles you are not guaranteed exceptional performance, but the probability of improving success is improved.
Some critics argue that some of the 10x companies were just lucky.

While invention depends on creativity, innovation requires collaboration and cross-functional integration Managing creativity
Organizing for creativity From invention to innovation
The challenge of integration
“Invention is an act of creativity requiring knowledge and imagination.”
Creating the Conditions for Innovation
![Page 14: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The creativity that drives invention is typically an individual act that establishes a meaningful relationship between concepts or objects that had not previously been related Creativity is associated with particular
personality traits Depends on the organizational environment in
which people work Stimulated by human interaction

The critical link between creative flair and commercial success is market need Customers are most acutely involved with
matching existing products and services to their needs.
Balancing Creativity and Commercial Direction

Organizational initiatives aimed at stimulating new product development and the exploitation of new technologies include the following: Cross functional product development teams
highly effective mechanisms for integrating creativity with functional effectiveness.
Product champions provide a means for incorporating individual
creativity within organizational processes and for linking invention to subsequent commercialization
Organizational Approaches to the Management of Innovation

Buying innovation Recognition that small, technology- intensive start- ups
have advantages in the early stages of the innovation process has encouraged large companies to enhance their technological performance by acquiring innovation from other firms.
Open innovation requires creating a network of collaborative
relationships that comprises licensing deals, component outsourcing, joint research, collaborative product development and informal problem solving and exchanges of ideas
Organizational Approaches to the Management of Innovation cont.

In Ch. 4, they performed an analysis of 290 innovation events
Determined the types and degree of innovation among the 10X and the comparison companies.
Innovation refers to different dimensions, including product, operational, and business-model innovations.
Innovation Analysis
![Page 22: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Major: Clearly offers a high degree of performance or feature improvement compared to existing products or services in the marketplace
Medium: Offers a solid degree of performance or feature improvement
Incremental: Offers some performance or feature enhancement, but doesn’t signify major progress
Degree of Innovativeness
![Page 23: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. The companies in the study created a number of different innovations.
2. There appears to be an innovation “threshold” effect: companies innovated more in industries in which innovation played a significant role.
3. The 10X companies were not more innovative than comparison companies.
4. The 10X companies pursued more incremental innovations than the comparison companies.
Findings on Innovation
![Page 24: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. 10X companies pursued more of a bullet approach than the comparison companies.
2. 10X companies did not fire more cannonballs than the comparison companies.
3. 10X companies had a higher proportion of cannonballs that were calibrated than the comparison companies.
4. Calibrated cannonballs yielded more positive outcomes than uncalibrated ones.
5. 10X companies had more success with their cannonballs than the comparison companies.
Findings from the Bullets-Then-Cannonballs Approach
![Page 25: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In Ch. 5, they performed an analysis of 300 company-years of financial statements to determine the extent to which the 10X and comparison companies built cash reserves and used debt.
They studied financial ratios for each matched pair on an annual basis and determined how often each 10X company had a better ratio than its comparison company.

1. 10X companies overall had more conservative balance sheets during the observation period than the comparison companies.
2. 10X companies overall had more conservative balance sheets in their 1st 5 years as public companies than the comparison companies.
3. 10X companies overall had more conservative balance sheets in their 1st year as public companies than the comparison companies.
Findings on Financial Ratios Analysis

Death Line risk Could kill or severely damage the enterprise
Asymmetric risk Potential downside is much bigger than the
potential upside Uncontrollable risk
Exposes the enterprise to forces and events that it has little ability to manage or control

Pages 260-269Competitive Advantage in Technology
“The principal link between technology and competitive advantage is innovation”

Invention: the creation of new products and processes through the development of new knowledge of existing knowledge
Innovation: the intentional commercialisation of invention by producing and marketing a new good or service, or by using a new method of production
Innovation Process

Basic knowledge Invention Innovation Diffusion
Supply side leads to imitation Demand side leads you to adoption
Figure 6.1 The development of Technology

Profitability of an innovation to the innovator, depends on the value created by the value created by the innovation and share of that value that the innovator is able to appropriate.
Profitability of Innovation
![Page 33: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
This is used to describe the conditions that influence the distribution of returns to innovation
Strong Regimes: Innovator is able to capture a substantial share of the value created
Weak Regimes: other people get a large share of the value rather than the innovator
Regime of appropriation
![Page 34: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Intellectual Property: subset of laws that protect most non-tangible property
Patents: exclusive rights to a new and useful product, process, substance or design (usually last 17 years, 14 years for design)
Copyrights: exclusive to production, publications, or sales rights of the creator of an artistic, literary, dramatic, and musical works
Trademarks: Words, symbols, or other marks used to distinguish the goods or services supplied by a firm
Trade secrets: offer a modest level of legal protection for recipes, formulae, industrial processes, customer lists, and other knowledge acquired by the business
Property Rights in Innovation
![Page 35: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tacitness and complexity
In the absence of laws to protect an innovator these things will help from imitation.
Imitation by a competitor depends on the ease the technology can be comprehended and replicated
1st depends on the extent to which the technical knowledge can be codifiable Codifiable information: that which can be written
down2nd depends on the complexity of the product
![Page 36: Great By Choice Research Foundations Kyle Kunkel Thor Fink John Barron Parker Teddy Lathrop.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb15ff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Lead-time
1st two factors may not always stop imitation but with significant lead-time the odds of greater success are much better
Lead-time: the time it takes followers to catch up

Complementary Resources
Bringing new products and processes to a market requires not just invention, it also requires the diverse resources and capabilities needed to finance, produce and market the innovation
These are referred to as COMPLEMENTARY RESOURCES
These are also resources that can be acquired through other firms
