The First LIVE Valuetainment Conference for Entrepreneurs is here. An event you won't want to miss hosted by Patrick Bet-David. For tickets and details visit: www.valuetainment.com
It would be amazing if you guys did full on paid online courses. I'm always looking for new non-scammy entrepreneurial and professional courses, and this channel is just so good it's almost become part of my morning routine.
I was thinking to introduce red ocean & blue ocean strategies to my IB students for extended essay but now can show them your video & can have good discussion. Thanks for explaining it so well
Tom, my startup went through a bloody 1st year but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Now I'm patiently rebuilding from scratch. These case studies are helping so much. This is straight up value. Thank you. Egan, South Africa
I had to read Blue Ocean Strategy while in grad school. What a great book and an awesome way to get you thinking "outside the box" when it comes to developing competitive advantages over your competition.
There are very few people like Jobs with innovation + design. Musk will bring Tesla mainstream like Jobs did with the iPhone. PS - thank you for two books!
Good to see that you are a learner by reading Tom. Maybe you could do one on Barnes and Noble. Or one on books you like that is separate from the case studies. Thanks again for producing this. It is nice how Patrick and you are producing good content this is a good hobby that you have. Also am hoping I could get you or someone like you to be a mentor.
Absolutely fantastic analysis as always, Tom, also don't forget that besides NeXT Steve also had an important role in creating Pixar. Another interesting factoid is that the NeXT Cube was quite popular for research, and Tim Berners-Lee used on when he created the concept of the Internet as we know it today.
There's actually a bunch of things from the Apple missteps and Scully and Apple Clone Era that people leave out: - There was a LOT of tech change from roughly 1990 to 2000 before computers really modernized and standardized. - This includes the I/O devices in the back, which Apple usually limited. So printers and bigger monitors and in general, upgrades were mostly out. You used to be required to upgrade stuff such as a sound card, which is unheard of by 2000. Soon as inkjet came out, the dot matrix printer was out. - Tech moved really fast, in part because of the internet, so what happened when you didn't have a modem and you couldn't upgrade one? Or when the 6x and 8x CD ROMs were suddenly the price you bought your 2x CDROM 15 months ago? - Storage went from about 40mb to a gig from 90-2000 and CDROMs started to get replaced by DVDROMs in computers. - USB came out and Apple tried to kill it in their computers into the mid-2000's with ad campaigns about Thunderbolt. - Windows 95 copied the ease of use Apple had but didn't make a stable platform until Win98. - Apple tried to keep the one button mouse for FAR too long. (They still want their mice to look like it's one button) It wasn't an issue for consumers until right mouse clicks got coded into every website and browser. But business started using it right away. - Apple tried to separate business licenses for far too long, so Enterprise software just never developed despite Myst, the biggest early game for Apple being famously made on Hypercard. - On that note, I actually think the Clone Saga was their best move, at the time. They hadn't been moving and changing fast enough, nor had they been flexible enough to keep up with all the changes the 90's brought. Lots of computer companies failed in that period that had been legacy computer systems through the 80's for the same reasons as above. - So when they allowed Clones, suddenly a lot of business applications got developed (still no Enterprise software despite there being a chance to remake Hypercard into an API after the success of Myst. But APIs and gaming and businesses used the F-key row to some extent. I only ever use F5,9 and 11 but businesses and consumers and enterprise devs would have seen that and thought (true or not) that the device was underpowered. The 90's set in the idea of the LARGE computer tower = power. (Something you can see in NVIDIA cards now. Yes, that's mostly heat sinks for the huge power draw that melts some smaller case wires now) - Jobs needed to come back with the iMac at the time he did to not only change Apple, but to change the industry and get away from the clutter. I think it mostly all happened the way it needed to, and it wasn't really ever a bad choice or series of bad choices. It's probably more akin to early cars and early flight, in that the technology and industry changed so much, so fast, that it looks like a bunch of bad business for not changing nearly quarter to quarter.
Just ordered both books! Thanks for all the material and knowledge that you guys pack into these videos! 2017 going forward will be huge for our company, I can feel it!
+Amie Howes - thank you for saying that! You will have both of those books on your shelf forever. You will go back to them time and time again, I am sure of it. Thanks, Tom
Thank you for your knowledge and experience I was hoping to see a case study like this quick follow up question, how would you say could be the best way to change strategy in a company without hurting egos and leading other people towards our goals without leaving anyone behind ? Again thank you so much 15 min of valuetainment get me more knowledge than a university semester and also, more books!!!!!
+Juan Banquero - people are people. It has been said that this would be easier if it wasn't for the damn people. Someone is going to have an ego bruised. The test of leadership is who can get everybody behind a blue ocean strategy and pushing forward together. That is the true test of leadership. Steve Jobs was able to do it. Thanks, Tom
Thank you for your quick reply! Yes people are complex but maybe you have had experiences in board rooms giving and taking bad news but if you manage in order to fulfill corporate goals also When I grow up I want to be just like you guys! Thank you so much!!!
+Gregory Parkin - BlackBerry is actually a good story followed by a sad story. It would be an honor to do that one because I had such respect for the company, back in the day. Thanks, Tom
The Apple clones would have really challenged the PC. I was a fan of "Power Computing", one of my favorite companies and marketing campaigns. Jobs came back and yanked the all clone licenses.
Some generic tips for all your videos -: 1. Pls increase video length from 15-20 mins to 45 mins. 2. Pls add more information like more financial details - ratios, P&L, revenue, typical price of their flagships products per unit etc. 3. Pls add more info about various C-level folks during various phases of the company. 4. The main competitors - market share of each player - during various periods / phases / eras. 5. Info about foreign sales vs national sales, including market share, competitors' shares etc. 6. The company strength, presence in various parts of the world, offices, staff, outsourcing, manufacturing units. 7. Unique or strong features of their products, weaknesses, comparison to other market players. 8. Their marketing strategy, sales strategy, work culture, how they paid their staff compared with their competitors etc.
funny you mention that book. I just reached the half way point 20 minutes before this video . in my country, residential real estate assets are worth twice as much as all other different types of assets (including commercial and industrial real estate) combined. the funny thing with that, however, is that residential properties are rarely owned by large companies. most residential real estate companies are owned by 2 or 3 people, essentially just family members. I've seen, what I think, is a major blue ocean in my country which is ignored completely. there are a few investors who do small scale very low quality examples of half of the blue ocean and then other half is an alternative industry but I have yet to even come across the combination of both (which I believe was either the 1st or 2nd pathway mentioned in the book). now I just need to get off my but and continue to improve every day.
And I would of said it again, DAMN. P.S. I like the side recap better than the full screen. I like to see constant improvement on such an already great series.
Blue ocean strategy's path to innovation: What can you reduce below the industries standard that would represent improvement? What can you raise above? What can you eliminate? What could you create that's brand new?
+Mohammed Iqbal - reducing things that are in the current situation but are causing friction and not necessary. By reducing them you improve the new product in the future. Thanks, Tom
Valuetainment is more bang for my buck than my four years of university combined (BSc Psych and MSc International Management; most UK undergrad courses are 3 years not 4)
You have always left me better than you found me sir. I have watched almost all of your case study and every time I feel so blessed that I found you, who can teach me and give me direction. love you work, love you.
+Adnan Daad - Thanks! I have not forgotten your invitation and look forward to Patrick and I coming to your country to spend some time with you and others. We need to find a way to set this up in the future. Thanks, Tom
Can you please explain how Spotify makes money pls? 😅 Love all of your content btw, this channel really brings both value and entertainment like no one else can
I worked back in the day as a off campus engineer for Be Inc, I helped transition them to x86. But in doing so, I thought it wouldn't last because the PC market is really this red ocean and you have Microsoft who at the time totally dominated the market. I thought the only way to get BeOS in the hands of the consumer wasn't by a cd in a box, but by offering a computer that ran BeOS but didn't try to be a PC. Sure it could have an Intel CPU, blah, blah. But it wasn't made for Windows, but for Be, kinda like a Google Chrome device. Sure you can install linux with some work, but it wasn't really designed for that use. We could save tons of time by writing drivers that just worked for certain hardware, we could keep out of that x86 blood bath by offering a product that could serve the consumer better. We could even contract it out. The response I got from our CEO was we tried vertical integration, and we failed. We want Be to work with Windows as like an add on. I didn't think that type of strategy would work and largely it didn't. So I took the mantle and crafted "Microsoft free computing devices" myself and found some success. Obviously with Linux this can be easily done today, just look at System76 but back in 1999... Not so easy.
+shubham sagar ?!?!?!?! - somewhere there are people who built that company or book or product. So you are asking if it's OK to pirate from an entrepreneur and capitalist to build your own company? How would you feel if someone pirated the product that you work so hard to invent? I'm not trying to be hard on you, I'm only trying to reflect the question back to you. Thanks, Tom
Valuetainment I'm trying to say that there are places in India where people sell pirated stuff.(I bought a copy of rich dad poor Dad from there) who sell these things for a fraction of the cost. is it OK to buy the items for them rather than buying a official copy of that book if I'm trying to save money for my business?
Valuetainment also I don't think you are going hard, you have total right to be angry if someone copied your idea your product your creation. I'd be going crazy if someone did that too. plus I'd like to know your opinion too as it would help me to understand my actions and how they effect others.
+shubham sagar - I do understand. I also understand there are a pirate markets located around the world such as in India that take the books and digital content from other parts of the world and create legal online websites. When I say legal - it's legal for them to do it locally even know they are selling pirated goods that we get them sooner than other parts of the world. I suggest you, talking about books, buy them from a source that you know rewards the author?
Valuetainment funny that you asked because they are so lazy, they literally printed the entire book with original author credits and original publishers. it's somewhat like they sell books which got rejected for using a slightly poor quality of paper. other than that poor quality paper,the rest of the content is literally same as the official copy, down to original publisher's logos and everything. they only have an extra page at least in which the pirated price is written with hands. and the book Rich Dad poor Dad, I bought it for 10 INR. which is about $0.16. and only compromise I had to make was a slightly poor quality paper. And I don't think that they give any money to original creators though.
Well I can just quit my MBA right away - valuetainment you should do online mba courses and get them accredited, that would be the best leaders of future
+Domini Gai - thank you so much. I appreciate that you tune in. I'm glad that my case studies can be entertaining and full of value. Hey, wait a minute that's Valuetainment!! Thanks, Tom
+Srineesh Salur - you have asked about this a couple times and I appreciate that you're being persistent. I want to be able to do everyone's suggestions and I'm continuing to research this one. Thanks, Tom
to create VALUE INNOVATION u have to ●1eliminate (what the industry takes for granite)ex classic red wine 2reduce (factors that should be reduced below the industry standard)ex. price,graphics 3create (what has the industry never created)ex ease of the activity of making tent or a new wine 4raise (what factors should be raised above industry standard)ex the quality E.R.C.R●
One of the interesting angles could be how Disney turned their company from where it was in animations and transformed itself to a media conglomerate with worldwide recognized, famous and profitable theme parks and cruises. Covering Blue and Red ocean was very helpful and I definitely plan on getting the blue ocean strategy book. These case studies are one of my favorite things about Valuetainment, and I really enjoy the content you guys pump out :)
this is how im reading blue ocean strategy Read 30 pages 4/20 252 actually pages rest index So 222 pages left 10 pages a night at ■least■ Do atl east will finish on 22.2 days so May 12.2 will be complete It takes me blank minutes to read ten pages with notes So blank hours left to finish it Info. 30 days in april Pages must have detailed notes

+Balentin Perez - That's the objective. Glad we are helping you. Thanks, Tom
I had to read Blue Ocean Strategy while in grad school. What a great book and an awesome way to get you thinking "outside the box" when it comes to developing competitive advantages over your competition.
+My Plate My Life True that!! Thanks Tom
There are very few people like Jobs with innovation + design. Musk will bring Tesla mainstream like Jobs did with the iPhone. PS - thank you for two books!
+Charles Botensten - you are very welcome. Those two books will be on your shelf forever. I know it. They are on my shelf too. Thanks, Tom
Tom is great evergreen content. This was was the first time I learned about blue ocean.
+Nacho TV - I'm glad that I exposed you to something new. Our goal is to leave you better than we found you. Thanks, Tom
Good to see that you are a learner by reading Tom. Maybe you could do one on Barnes and Noble. Or one on books you like that is separate from the case studies. Thanks again for producing this. It is nice how Patrick and you are producing good content this is a good hobby that you have. Also am hoping I could get you or someone like you to be a mentor.
+Mitchell Smith - Barnes and Noble is close to my heart. I ran a digital publishing company and they really stumbled. Thanks, Tom
Absolutely fantastic analysis as always, Tom, also don't forget that besides NeXT Steve also had an important role in creating Pixar. Another interesting factoid is that the NeXT Cube was quite popular for research, and Tim Berners-Lee used on when he created the concept of the Internet as we know it today.
The NeXT cube was just another UNIX machine with a graphical interface.

+Gregory Parkin - BlackBerry is actually a good story followed by a sad story. It would be an honor to do that one because I had such respect for the company, back in the day. Thanks, Tom
The Apple clones would have really challenged the PC. I was a fan of "Power Computing", one of my favorite companies and marketing campaigns. Jobs came back and yanked the all clone licenses.

Keep the visionaries in your companies focussed and listen to the whispering of the horses. 'Red ocean' and 'Blue ocean' are keywords to remember.
funny you mention that book. I just reached the half way point 20 minutes before this video . in my country, residential real estate assets are worth twice as much as all other different types of assets (including commercial and industrial real estate) combined. the funny thing with that, however, is that residential properties are rarely owned by large companies. most residential real estate companies are owned by 2 or 3 people, essentially just family members.

@valuetainment thank you so much for these case studies , you really helping me a lot
This guy could be a Billionaire with the amount of knowledge he has. Why is he not a Billionaire yet?
Honest question.
Motivation for working for long hours, which, if you have a family, almost impossible!

I need to read these two books.
Nice video,really loved it.just 1 question what is reduce in 4 bos(blue ocean strategy)

+Sammiches - Blue Ocean is a great book and explains it in detail. Thanks, Tom
I worked back in the day as a off campus engineer for Be Inc, I helped transition them to x86.

also what is your opinion on use of torrent for software and book?
is it fine if I use pirated stuff to kick start a business?

Valuetainment funny that you asked because they are so lazy, they literally printed the entire book with original author credits and original publishers. it's somewhat like they sell books which got rejected for using a slightly poor quality of paper. other than that poor quality paper,the rest of the content is literally same as the official copy, down to original publisher's logos and everything. they only have an extra page at least in which the pirated price is written with hands.
and the book Rich Dad poor Dad, I bought it for 10 INR. which is about $0.16. and only compromise I had to make was a slightly poor quality paper.
And I don't think that they give any money to original creators though.

a case study into ray crock and mc Donald's would be great
+josh cullen - that would be interesting. A movie titled Founder came out recently and tells the story pretty well. Thanks, Tom
Tom, can you make a case study out of valuetainment and the subscribers growth?
Givin away the secrets? No way.
Also if you want him to have a chance to read you comment you'd gotta put it on a newer video.
Hi Tom I think the valuetainment channel should cover Disney's history in a future case study.
+Daniel Bedenbaugh there are a lot of angles to Disney. Which one do you find most interesting? Thanks, Tom
One of the interesting angles could be how Disney turned their company from where it was in animations and transformed itself to a media conglomerate with worldwide recognized, famous and profitable theme parks and cruises.
Covering Blue and Red ocean was very helpful and I definitely plan on getting the blue ocean strategy book.
These case studies are one of my favorite things about Valuetainment, and I really enjoy the content you guys pump out :)
Wait for Fridays because of you and shark tank
+Akshay Bansal thank you for that! Thanks, Tom
