Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This is Moore's second book expounding his high-tech marketing theories, focusing on what to do when you've followed his advice in Crossing the Chasm so well that customers are beating down your door and crawling in the windows, putting your business into a new lifecycle stage: the mass market. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

This work focuses on the moment in the life cycle of a product when it either does or does not become a market leader. Using examples from companies such as Apple and Oracle, it demonstrates the importance of applying "Technology Adoption Life Cycle" to a product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read 'Information Rules' instead if you want the real facts!, 29 Jan 2002

By	allenhiggins@eircom.net (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside the Tornado: Marketing Strategies from Silicon Valley's Cutting Edge (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'.

4.0 out of 5 stars The concepts will radically focus your marketing activities!, 12 Nov 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside the Tornado: Marketing Strategies from Silicon Valley's Cutting Edge (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars insightful marketing framework for an engineer, 20 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside the Tornado: Marketing Strategies from Silicon Valley's Cutting Edge (Hardcover)

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.
