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 the Paperback edition.

Review
"We at Cisco have been living inside the tornado for the better part of a decade now, and we make heavy use in our strategy sessions of Geoff Moore's models for how high-tech marketplace dynamics evolve, and how business strategies must change to match them. This is an excellent book for anyone competing in the new Internet economy." -- John Chambers, CEO, Cisco Systems"Few businesses operate today without the hope of making it 'Inside the Tornado.' Geoffrey and The Chasm Group have captured the essence of business marketing strategy in a framework that is more useable and meaningful." -- Carol Bartz, chairman and CEO, Autodesk"When I first read "Inside the Tornado" several years ago, I was struck by how accurately it described our networking business. Now the Internet has created a whole series of tornadoes which will lead to a new world of pervasive connectivity and untold opportunity for 3Com. Thank you, Geoffrey Moore, for your powerful treatment of these world-changing business models." -- Doug Spreng, senior vice president, Client Access Business Unit, 3Com Corporation

2.0 out of 5 stars Read 'Information Rules' instead if you want the real facts!, 29 Jan 2002
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
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, 21 Aug 1999
By A Customer
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.
