Disruption: Blind-Sided by SMAC Tech Blockbuster, Nintendo, and PowerPoint
With SMAC, the impact of
technology
is often less forgiving and more abrupt,
leaving
businesses
little
or no time to
reinvent traditional business lines. Case in
point, Blockbuster went from total video
rental domination to utter market failure
in just six years. The advent of the online
store allowed new-kid-on-the-block Netflix
to quickly capture the home movie rental
market by cutting out a trip to the video
store. Netflix effectively blitzed the industry
with their mail deliver and online streaming
services, pushing Blockbuster from $6 billion
in revenue in 2004 to bankruptcy in 2010.
Nintendo, the video game legend, recently
reported a worrisome drop in hardware sales

of its home and handheld console gaming
systems, due to consumer adoption of smart
phones and tablets. Despite the company’s
recent innovations across motion-led gaming
and hand-held consoles, the flood of new
gaming options in the mobile computing
environment will likely force the company
to completely revamp their business model.
“We think we need to consider the possibility
that home consoles could become a thing of
the past,” Citigroup analyst Soichiro Fukuda
wrote in a recent report.
Today’s tech start-up landscape is also
ripe with new aggressive companies bent
on toppling legacy products and services
providers. Seattle based company Haiku
Deck has topped 500K downloads of
their mobile presentation creation app. A
recent review on popular tech media outlet
TechCrunch praised the new technology for
its sleek design and ease of use in the mobile
environment, going so far as to label the
new app a “PowerPoint Killer”. The successes
that Haiku Deck has achieved after being
on the market for just one year illustrates
how traditional companies can quickly get
blindsided by much smaller competitors.
While Microsoft’s market positioning in the
presentation creation market remains strong,
the company will inevitably have to migrate
PowerPoint into the mobile environment,
as consumers increasingly use tablets and
smart phones to create and share graphics.
