...The Art of Standards Wars Carl Shapiro Hal R. Varian S tandards wars—battles for market dominance hetween incompatible technologies—are a fixture of the information age. Based on our study of historical standards wars, we have identified several generic strategies, along with a number of winning tactics, to help companies fighting today's—and tomorrow's—battles. There is no doubt about the significance of standards battles in today's economy. Public attention is currently focused on the Browser War between Microsoft and Netscape (oops, America On-Line). Even as Judge Jackson evaluates the legality of Microsoft's tactics in the Browser War, the Audio and Video Streaming Battle is heating up between Microsoft and RealNetworks over software to deliver audio and video over the Internet. The 56k Modem War of 1997 pitted 3Com against Rockwell and Lucent. Microsoft's Word and Excel have vanquished WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3 respectively. Most everyone remembers the Video-Cassette Recorder Duel of the 1980s, in which Matsushita's VHS format triumphed over Sony's Betamax format. However, few recall how Philips's digital compact cassette and Sony's minidisk format both flopped in the early 1990s. This year, it's DVD versus Divx in the battle to replace both VCRs and CDs. Virtually every high-tech company has some role to play in these battles, perhaps as a primary combatant, more likely as a member of a coalition or Prepared for the Cnlifornia Management Review.Jh'is material...

...the ideas and ways of the soldiers as he motivates them for battle. One piece in Patton’s speech that was quite effective was his imagery. On multiple instances, Patton vividly described scenes that every soldier could relate to. In his attempt to break the nerves and fear of some young soldiers, he says, “When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend’s face, you’ll know what to do.” The thought and concept of such a situation may be repulsive, but Patton’s blunt description shows the truth. The men can imagine such an event occurring in battle. They know that the only way to prevent such an outcome is by killing the Nazis in battle. Even here, Patton continues to motivate his soldiers by letting them know that they will need to fight to protect their friends around them. He makes the comparison of how the Army will advance in the simile, “we’re gonna go through him like crap through a goose.” This easily relatable statement brings the idea of confidence down to a level understandable to all. In a more hopeful tone, Patton describes a situation by saying, “Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around… in the great World War II…” Here with this imagery, Patton depicts the future situations in the lives of these men. They will be able to talk of what they accomplished to their grandchildren and will be honored for what they have sacrificed. The men can visualize what the future holds for them just like how Patton described the scene. They...

...current organizations fails to know what is happening at the ground level and it is the duty of the employee in charge to give out a report (Edwards, 2008). During such a presentation to the top management, it is important for one to give out sampled evidence to support the allegation in an honest manner. This should be made in comparison to the actual products to bring out the difference. Physical evidence brings out product defects and it will challenge the top management to act fast to avoid legal battles with the consumers (Brooks, 2012). How would you specifically notify customers of such an occurrence? It is an ethical obligation of an organization to notify the consumer of the possibility of a defective product in the market. A preferred way of notifying the consumers may be through a media campaign such as print and electronic media to sensitize consumers. This will help in controlling the consumers from buying the potentially defective products also any legal battle the organization may get itself...

...General (Gen.) Robert E. Lee was the brilliant Confederate leader whose skill in military strategies, battlefield intellect, and the trust and confidence of his men and subordinate leaders, allowed the South to continue to fight during the four gruesome years of the Civil War. In the Battle of Antietam, Gen. Lee’s direct involvement made the difference for the Confederate army. With a force nearly half the size of his opponents, Gen.

Lee was able to get an advanced education at the United States Military Academy. He graduated second in his class and was a...
