    Reed Hastings literally saw the future, strategised a plan and executed it over a time horizon of 23 years. He is truly amazing! I can’t think of many firms as innovative at Netflix.

      @@ludotrico1 Well this is an interview with Hastings not Randolph 😆
      I do agree that Marc Randolph was detrimental to the success of Netflix, but the watershed moments and initial foundation of the firm was subject to Hastings openness to innovation and a clear classical approach to strategy

  • @randycampbell8676
    @randycampbell8676 Před 7 lety +1

    He says Amazon is "normal business" instead of "network effect" business. Any idea why? Or resources for understanding how Amazon isn't an network effect business?

    • @liangchen6451
      @liangchen6451 Před 7 lety +18

      The way I see it is that as a consumer you can switch to another service provider instantly without any cost caused by your network built with your previous provider, say you want to buy a book from Amazon and realized another company has a better deal, there is little to stop you doing that, in contrast, if you find another social network website that offers tons of features, benefits, you have got your whole relationship network to move with you, the thought of all that work will simply stop you doing that.

    • @randycampbell8676
      @randycampbell8676 Před 7 lety

      That makes sense. I wonder though if vendors can find the same value elsewhere? If not, then isn't that a network effect? Maybe he's saying that for a company to enjoy network effects they need both sides of the network to be unable to find the same value elsewhere without a lot of friction? If either vendors, or consumers, can just leave, then it isn't a network effect business?

    • @liangchen6451
      @liangchen6451 Před 7 lety +1

      I think vendors are just as easy to leave as the consumers, because:
      1. the vendors will always follow the consumers, if the consumers can go away freely, so do the vendors
      2. the core values the service providers offer(whatever they are) can be improved(logistics service, payment service or something else)
      3. even if the dominant service provider (say Amazon) can try to stop the vendors from leaving for a new platform, there is a price to be paid here, the vendors win.
      I think the definition of effect business describes the profit you may get from the network of users, but only when the users can not switch to another platform easily could you enjoy the profit, the only possibility I see that you can do this is to grow to be the 1st player in the market ASAP, then the barrier for other competitors would be so huge it's almost impossible to cross.

    Interviewer is a little impatient at times. I felt like he wasn't always listening to Reed and was just waiting for an opportunity to ask the next question. You have one of the greatest Entrepeneurs of modern times sat next to you, give him some time to speak. Great insights overall though from Reed.
