Age of the Mechanical Machine
• Harnessing generative potential of fire to create
market in-equilibrium through automation.
• Capital intensiveness creates capital markets
• Vertical integration to to ensure maximum utilisation
• Diversification to ensure utility of investment
• Management logic: Economies of size and scope
• Technology means of control through communication
• Scientific management of work
• Professionalisation of graphic design for marketing
• Industrial design

Age of the Smart Machine
• Information the new fire
• From information to strategic assets
• Dis-equilibrium through information management
• Managerial challenge: Managing complexity and
information overload
• Management logic: Modularisation allowing
coordinated distribution
• Design hierarchies
• Networks and distributed organisations
• Outsourcing and virtualisation
• Global value networks - designed in USA, made in

Age of the Generative Machine
• The Turing/von Neumann Anything Machine (f.ex. your smartphone)
• Flexibly reprogrammable machine is the new fire
• Digital technology intensively interconnected
• From looking at the interface to residing “within the machine”
• Procrastinated binding and generativity (Apps and services
even Steve Jobs could not have imagined)
• Separation of form and function of reprogrammable
universal machine
• Separation of contents and media
• Globally distributed contribution of innovation
• Deconstruction of products and industries (Tower Records and
Blockbusters anyone?)

I have learned that we are standing on a
burning platform. And, we have more than
one explosion - we have multiple points of
scorching heat that are fueling a blazing fire
around us. [...] Apple disrupted the market by
redefining the smartphone and attracting
developers to a closed, but very powerful
ecosystem. In 2008, Apple's market share in
the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by
2010 it escalated to 61 percent. [...]Apple
demonstrated that if designed well,
consumers would buy a high-priced phone
with a great experience and developers
would build applications. They changed the
game, and today, Apple owns the high-end
range.
