Over the summer I e-mailed Anders Drejer to make him join our flight.
He accepted right away. He works as a professor at the Strategy-lab in
Aarhus, Denmark.
He just published a book – “Innovation gennem netværk – Innovation made
possible through networks, something like that….”. Very very
interesting. I just got a one directly from the publisher – Thank you
Anders.
When reading the book you on the same time experience “like coming
home” – which always is nice 
- on the other hand it opens up for
new angels and perspectives on our important discussions here at CPH127.
I promised Anders to write an overall review of his book – I certainly
will, but due to my wife’s pregnancy it has to wait a week or two.
Please be patience.
A chapter in his book handles the different types of competition, which
of course is put in context of leadership and innovation. He states –
and I agree…
Competition isn’t about new products or markets, not any longer, its
merely about the ability to create the future and having the
knowledgeleadership in the industry. Competition is more about
attracting and building up the necessary competences.
But do you agree? What kinds of competences are needed to survive in
the business climate of tomorrow? And where do you see competition
come from?
