A new model to interpret dynamic sectors
If the first chapter is a helpful synopsis of the evolutions that most of the competitive systems have gone through, the rest of the book concentrates on the Value Net Model. This tool is clearly explained with many helpful examples that illustrate step by step the methodology that Parolini indicates as the way to analyze businesses from a new point of view: not strictly and statically bound to the single firm, but opened to the opportunities that the firm could play in the value creating system it competes or may compete. This book expresses an idea that I believe is an extremely interesting evolution of Porter's Value Chain Model and the concepts that Norman-Ramirez expressed in 1994 ("Designing Interactive Strategy: from the Value Chain to the Value Constellation"). I would suggest this book to anyone interested in strategy and consulting, since it may be helpful not only for those interested in the new economy, but also for those people seeking for a bright interpretation of more traditional businesses.
