Glenville Drive, Building A Richardson, TX 75082 Copyright © 2019 Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP PERCEPTIONS The Audacity of Capacity here are many factors that have disrupted entire industries in the last decade, but one of the most significant ones is rooted in this concept: Leveraging seasonal and/or flexible capacity is a game changer. We’ve seen this in such industries as household goods moving, short-term housing and accommodations, cars for hire, airlines, real estate, and others—name an industry, and it’s probably happening there! Traditional providers struggle with learning how to compete against alter- native choices in their same market; to bring some flexibility to pricing and distribution strategies that helps them weather the ups and downs of supply and demand. An unfortunate miscalculation Tcan impact an entire year’s outcome. Traditionally, there’s been a fine line to walk between main- taining the capacity to serve and navigating seasonality or timing that can bring severe spikes. There are a few observations we’ve made that might make getting ahead of such disruption a little easier: Industry disruptions are multiple, and faster than ever. Today’s industries face more than one disruption—in fact, some of the new disrupters are impacting the older ones.
