Develop Frameworks to Identify Future Tech-driven Winners

Investment implications

  • Integrating technology successfully has become a key indicator of commercial success.
  • Firms that successfully integrate technology potentially create lasting competitive advantage and earnings growth. Investors' frameworks should include firms that:
  • Capture network effects in their product offerings (e.g., Tencent, Amazon).
  • Actively supplement in-house tech development with technology-driven M&A (e.g., GM acquiring AV startup Voyage).
  • Consciously structure their business models around the adoption of technology, even at the cost of cannibalizing current business (e.g., Netflix)
