Format:Paperback
The concepts introduced by Moore can radically reduce marketing communciation costs by reducing inaproporate and un-timely marketing activities. He focuses on segementing the marketing in an additional dimension called 'Technology Adoption Life Cycle'. This is used to measures the degree of assimilation of a customer and readiness to adopt a new techncology. Moore suggests new ideas how this information can be used to turn customers from sceptics to supportive prospects. It becomes clear how appropriate and timely marketing communication stragtegies enable new products to cross the 'chasm' into the 'tornado'.
An excellent books which I have practically used and and demonstrated that the concepts can also be applied to technolgy service organisations as well as technology products.

Format:Paperback
Geoffrey Moore's prescription for marketing types and company officers in high tech industry suffering from eCommerce/Internet complaint is TALC, the Technology Adoption Life Cycle (ha, was that supposed to be funny?). Originally written in the mid 90's so I've made allowances for the lack of empirical evidence for Geoffery's assertions which seem to based more on gut feel or instinct. TALC and the Inside the Tornado has too much intuition, read Hal and Varian's 'Information Rules' if you want to find out what is really going on. Unorganised, poorly edited and of little current relevance.
Over uses 'to be sure'.

I'm a systems engineer and found the framework developed in the book useful in understanding where different high-tech companies are in their respective product life-cycles. Perhaps, this is elementary knowledge for marketing folks.

Moore understands the economics of information
Traditional economic models do not work when we apply them to
the value of information and knowledge. Information has value, but
only for a short time. Read more
