Important Revolutions Of The Past 30 Years Include The Internet, Personal Computers, The Xml Programming Language, And The Breakup Of At & T. What Do They Have In Common? All Are Based On Innovations That Break Technology Apart. After Breaking A Technology Apart, It Still Works -- Phone Calls Could Still Be Made After The Breakup Of At & T -- But It Is Composed Of Smaller And More Flexible Pieces That Can Be Used To Create New Innovations. This Process Is Called Disaggregation, So Named Because The Pieces Of The Technology That Were Formerly Stuck Together Are Pried Apart But Not Destroyed. Using The Simple Metaphor Of The Pebble And The Avalanche -- Prying Rocks Loose From A Mountaintop Releases Tremendous Energy -- This Book Explains The Workings And Benefits Of Disaggregation. Author Yudkowsky Uses Case Studies From Familiar Companies And Industries To Explain How To Generate Similar Innovations, In The Process Identifying Strategies And Tactics That Maximize These Innovations.

Moshe Yudkowsky. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 149-159) And Index. The Pebble and the Avalanche shows how the Internet, the auto industry, music downloading, and other rapidly evolving industries are all connected by the same dynamic -- disaggregation. Moshe Yudkowsky shows why this dynamic is crucial to survival in the 21st century marketplace, and how you can use it to bring about change in your industry. Disaggregation means taking things apart -- for example, the break-up of AT&T, which greatly improved phone service. But there are more subtle examples. Separating information from the storage medium -- digital music doesn't rely on records, tapes, or CDs; digital photographs don't require paper; and digital movies don't need film -- has enabled millions of people to create and share their work (and others') far more easily than ever before, with enormous implications. Think of this process as an avalanche: at the top of a mountain, rocks are jammed together in a solid mass. Pry some of these rocks loose and you will unleash a tremendous outpouring of energy that sweeps everything from its path. The same thing happens in technology: with the right innovation, you can pry the pieces of technology apart and unleash an outpouring of powerful ideas that shake apart whole industries. Yudkowsky details exactly how disaggregation works, describing five different ways of taking things apart, and the many ways it can be used to generate new innovations. The Pebble and the Avalanche provides strategies for successfully adapting to a disaggregation revolution, and points towards the future, identifying several industries that are about to be completely transformed by disaggregation. The Pebble and the Avalanche shows how the Internet, the auto industry, music downloading, and other rapidly evolving industries are all connected by the same dynamic -- disaggregation. Moshe Yudkowsky shows why this dynamic is crucial to survival in the 21st century marketplace, and how you can use it to bring about change in your industry.

Disaggregation means taking things apart -- for example, the break-up of AT Takes a "big picture" look at what causes whole industries to change. The author shows how the Internet, the auto industry, music downloading, and more, are all connected by the same dynamic - disaggregation - and also shows why this dynamic is crucial to survival in the 21st century marketplace
