Description: Collaborative Advantage by Jeffrey H. Dyer Demonstrates the power of collaborative advantage, arguing that, in the future, competitive advantage will increasingly be created by teams of companies, rather than by the single firm. Managers who do not recognize this development - regardless of their industry - are in danger of adopting the wrong strategies for their firms. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Why has Chrysler been twice as profitable as GM and Ford during the 1990s even though it is a much smaller company with plants that are less efficient than Fords? Why does Toyota continue to have substantial productivity and quality advantages long after knowledge of the Toyota Production System has diffused to competitors? The answer, according to Jeff Dyer, is that Toyota and Chrysler have been the first in their industry to recognize that the fundamental unitof competition has changed--from the individual firm to the extended enterprise. In this book Dyer demonstrates the power of collaborative advantage, arguing that, in the future,competitive advantage will increasingly be created by teams of companies, rather than by the single firm. Managers who do not recognize this development--regardless of their industry--are in danger of adopting the wrong strategies for their firms. Dyer draws on eight years of study of the automotive industry, including a wealth of data from interviews with over 200 executives and surveys of over 500 suppliers, as he offers detailed case studies of Toyota and Chrysler to show managers how tocreate collaborative advantage with their supplier networks. Dyer demonstrates how to build trust in the extended enterprise, how to exploit and manage knowledge (describing how Toyota manages knowledgeacross organizational boundaries), and how to create advantages through dedicated asset investments. In turn, these processes generate stunning performance advantages and an identity for the extended enterprise. To be successful in future years, executives will have to convert their corporations into fully integrated, extended enterprises. In Collaborative Advantage, Jeff Dyer shows them how.

Review "Collaborative Advantage is built upon solid scholarship and practical experience. It is not a one-size-fits-all missionary treatise for a managerial technique. Rather, its solid theoretical framework helps us understand what types of supplier relationships are best in various situations, and then frames a practical process for building them. This is a very good book that every manager concerned about competitive advantage should read." --ClaytonChristiansen, Professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Innovators Dilemma"Jeff Dyer has done a great job of defining the process and rationale behind Chryslers Extended Enterprise concept. Hopefully, it will continue to be a template for others to follow to implement Supply Chain Management in their companies."--Thomas Stallkamp, Vice Chairman and CEO, MSX International; formerly Vice Chairman of DaimlerChrysler Corporation"Collaborative Advantage is built upon solid scholarship and practical experience.
