Gertler, Chair Professor John Morgan Professor Yingyi Qian Fall 2010 Essays on Competitive Strategy and Innovation Management Copyright 2010 by Richard Dick Wang Abstract Essays on Competitive Strategy and Innovation Management by Richard Dick Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration University of California, Berkeley Professor Paul J. Gertler, Chair This dissertation examines product positioning and development strategies by firms. Product strategies not only determine a firm’s performance, but they also influence the types of goods that are available in the market. I conduct empirical evaluations on how rivalries shape product decisions, and propose a framework that guides firms to devise incentive schemes to spur new ideas which are vital to the development of innovative products. I begin by focusing on product differentiation strategy among rivals. I develop a theoretical model on programming choice by rival broadcasters in the media industry. The model predicts that the level of product differentiation is determined by the relative strengths of the rivals. I test this model using data from the Chinese satellite television industry. I analyze dynamic product positioning activities of 30 satellite television channels with respect to their dominant rival. Consistent with theory, the empirical evidence shows that weaker firms are more responsive when compared to the stronger ones to differentiate their products from the dominant rival.

    5/11/2008 14:38:00 Harvard College Marathon Challenge Post-Event Survey Summary 2008 Questions/Complaints/Blame? E-Mail [email protected] Website: http://marathon.harvard.edu ©2008 Harvard College Marathon Challenge. Reproduction, distribution, or any other use of this data, in whole or in part, is prohibited without express written consent from Harvard College Marathon Challenge. 1 OVERVIEW: HARVARD COLLEGE MARATHON CHALLENGE (HCMC) Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC) started in 2005. HCMC participants raise money for Project HEALTH and Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA), two charities that mean a great deal to many Harvard students and employees. In exchange for their successful fundraising efforts, HCMC participants receive official invitational entries (numbered bibs) to run in the Boston Marathon. These invitation entries allow participants to run the Boston Marathon at their own pace; they are exempt from the time-qualifying requirement by virtue of their charitable fundraising efforts. In 2007-08, HCMC participants raised approximately $45,000 to benefit PBHA and Project HEALTH. To ensure diversity, HCMC participants were selected by a process that took into account student vs. staff status, year of graduation, residential affiliation, past PBHA/Project HEALTH involvement, gender, previous running/marathon experience, and especially demonstrated prior commitment to the HCMC program. Each participant paid a nonrefundable registration fee and met several interim fundraising benchmarks, culminating in a final fundraising benchmark that ranged from $750 for participants who joined very late – some less than two weeks before the Marathon – to $2500 for undergraduate "veteran" participants. Throughout the months prior to the Marathon, participants used the HCMC listserv as arrange training runs and to discuss a wide range of training, fundraising, and related issues.

  • Tournaments for Ideas
    Tournaments for Ideas By John Morgan Yahoo Research and Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley And Richard Wang Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley Keywords: Tournaments, Strategy, Innovation, Information Technology John Morgan is a Research Scientist at Yahoo and the Gary & Sherron Kalbach Professor of Business Administration at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. <[email protected]> Richard Wang is a Ph.D. Candidate with the Business & Public Policy Group at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. <[email protected]> Mailing Address: University of California Haas School of Business #1900 Berkeley, CA 94720-1900 The authors wish to thank the editor and three anonymous referees for their comments. Financial support to Richard Wang was provided by the California Management Review. 1 Abstract Governments and foundations have successfully harnessed tournaments to spur innovation. Yet this tool is not widely used by firms. We offer a framework for managers seeking to organize tournaments for ideas. We present the theoretical underpinnings of tournaments. We then connect the theory with three recent innovations—the power of the network, the wisdom of crowds, and the power of love—that boost the effectiveness of tournaments. Short cases and academic studies are used to illustrate our framework. 2 TOURNAMENTS FOR IDEAS During the Age of Discovery in Europe, innovations in navigation technology were of great importance in conquering the seas. In particular, a method for accurately determining the longitude of a ship’s location was needed. Sea-faring empires created Longitude Prizes to attract inventors. In 1714 the British Parliament held a tournament and offered a grand prize of £20,000 (roughly £6 million in today’s term) to the inventor who arrived at the best solution.

  • Upcoming Events
    February 2008 Volume 30 / Issue 1 UPCOMING EVENTS BOSTON MARATHON GROUP TRAINING RUN: Sunday, March 30 The annual CRR Boston Marathon Group Training Run will be held on Sunday, March 30, three weeks before the Marathon. The Training Run covers the first 22.5 miles of the Marathon course, from the starting line in Hopkinton to beyond Heartbreak Hill, finishing at Cleveland Circle in Brookline. For most of our runners, this will be their last long run before the Marathon, and doing the run on the course itself is a big confidence booster for Marathon Day. Many other running clubs and charity training groups will also be holding training runs that same Sunday, so that there will be a thousand or more runners on the route that morning, making for a party atmosphere and a great experience for runners and volunteers alike. If you are not running, we need VOLUNTEERS for the support crew that drives along the course and provides water stops every 2-3 miles. As we did last year, runners and volunteers will meet at 6:45 AM at the Park and Ride lot on Route 138 in Canton. To get there, take Exit 2 North (“Route 138--Milton”) from Rt. 128/93, go through a set of traffic lights and past the Dunkin’ Donuts on the left, and the Park and Ride lot will be on the left just after the D&D. We'll carpool from there to the starting line in Hopkinton, aiming to get our runners underway by 8 AM. Once the runners have started, the support crew will drive all the cars along the route to support the runners.
