Looking at the past, present and possible futures: three different
standpoints:• Technology• Producer• Consumer

The Generations of Technology
(moving from “craft” technology)•Automate existing processes
![Page 5: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Generations of Modern Technology
• Automates existing processes (up to Artificial Intelligence)
•Builds bridges between parts of a corporation that had little to do with each other
![Page 6: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Generations of Modern Technology
• Automates existing processes• Builds bridges between parts of a corporation that had little to do
with each other
•Cancels traditional divisions and creates entirely new ways in which you can organise a company

•Destroys the walls between an organisation’s internal divisions

![Page 13: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The *Producer’s* Perspective/ Production of goods/ services
•Artisanal: individual producer dependent on friends/family for all necessary support: purchasing, production, sales, delivery….
![Page 14: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Production of goods/ services• Artisanal:
•Industrial: based on ownership of capital, land, and other resources - including “loyal full-time employees” – for MASS MANUFACTURE of standardised goods
![Page 15: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Production of goods/ services• Artisanal: • Industrial: mass manufacture
•“Manufacturing for one” ( or “custom-manufacturing”): customers interface with existing production system to “assemble” a product or service from pre-existing choices
![Page 16: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Production of goods/ services• Artisanal • Industrial• “Manufacturing for one” ( or “custom-manufactured”)
•All the above are dependent on the model:
production-sales
![Page 17: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Production of goods/ services• Artisanal • Industrial• “Manufacturing for one” ( or “custom-manufactured”) • All dependent on the model: production-sales
•Assumption: knowledge, expertise, technique reside with the producer
![Page 18: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Three different standpoints:•Technology•Company•Consumer
![Page 19: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The *consumer* perspective
•End of WWII reveals a world of scarcity: the problem was simply: • not enough product!!!
![Page 20: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Meanwhile, customers… - 1• From around 2000 AD:
•Education and ever more user-friendly technology helps the public to become increasingly knowledgeable, experienced and savvy
![Page 22: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• From around 2000 AD: • Education and technology-user-friendliness lead to increasingly
knowledgeable, experienced and savvy “customers”
•Falling technological, regulatory and financial barriers to entry mean that these customers may just organise things for themselves!
Meanwhile, customers… -2

these customers may just produce things for themselves…
•…and could even become competitors!

experienced and savvy “customers” • Falling technological, regulatory and financial barriers to entry mean that these
customers may just produce things for themselves – and even become competitors!
•Companies began to respond by re-configuring their entire business model

• Companies began to respond by re-configuring their entire structure:•Engaging in dialogue with customers•Creating/mobilising customer-communities•Co-creating the content of their experience

In the world of information/content:
Blogs, discussion forums, posts, chats, tweets, podcasting, pins,
digital images, video files, audio files, etc. created by users
![Page 27: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
But what are the implications of “open access”?
• Cost-free access to content, e.g. in peer-reviewed/academic internet journals … but which are, in print, (still!) extremely expensive• Their subscription prices have risen at triple the rate of inflation for
the past three decades (Harvard Magazine, issue 1, 2015)• In 2014, the most expensive journals subscribed by Harvard libraries
were• the monthly Journal of Comparative Neurology (John Wiley) at $28,787 • and • the weekly Science (American Association for the Advancement of Science) at
$26,675

In the world of Information Technology itself
OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE .• users have full access to the source code, e.g. for the purpose of study• Can make their own changes and improvements to the source code,
and• Distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose!
![Page 31: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Implications for SIX
• Strategy: Niche?, Global?, Regional?, National?
•So, the current Challenges: • Lowering costs• expanding the product and service offering• extending data and technology leadership• Increasing geographic range/ acquiring new customer groups

Implications for SIX• Strategy: Global?, regional?, national?, niche?
• Current Challenges: • expanding the product and service offering• extending data and technology leadership• Increasing geographic range/ acquiring new customer groups
•Return of merger mania/ hostile takeovers?: Due to oversupply of exchanges in the world and/or greater availability of capital for the purpose? •What if value chains are reconfigured by e.g. FX being put on
exchanges?
![Page 43: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

• Return of merger mania/ hostile takeovers?: Due to oversupply of exchanges in the world and/or greater availability of capital for the purpose? FX on exchanges?
•Direct financing?: New developments (bitcoins?, abolition of IP legislation?, loss of licence to operate for companies?…) may mean an entirely new global financial architecture?
• ……..

Implications for you, professionally:
•Improve our skills…•Upgrade our skills…•Take on entirely new skill-sets/ responsibilities…
….AND we need to be T-shaped!!!
![Page 45: The Emerging shape of the global economy and what it means for six and for you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58aa552e1a28ab10578b5b9f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
For us personally, the most important questions are much more fundamental:
•What is the purpose for which my life was created?•What sort of character ought I to develop – and to encourage in others?•What is a good lifestyle – what should determine my choices?•What is a good society - and how to nurture it?
