Summary of Go Tech, or Go Extinct by Paul Cuatrecasas

Description

The market value of top technical companies is almost five times greater than that of the top traditional companies in other industries. Paul Cuatrecasas argues that this market value represents the true power technical companies have in today’s economy, which gives them the flexibility they need to adapt to emerging trends. Legacy industries must ready themselves as technology encroaches on their core operations. Drawing on his extensive experience with mergers and acquisitions, Cuatrecasas adeptly outlines steps executives must take to acquire, and transform into, technology companies.

Take-Aways Technology drives today’s markets, and traditional industry players need to take notice. Exponential growth in technology impacts businesses in all sectors. Leaders must act to ensure their company embraces technology. Technology and talent drive the winners in the technology economy. Executives who choose to embrace technology and transform their businesses’ cultures are taking risks, but inaction poses greater peril. Leaders must focus on acquiring technical talent to transform their businesses and become technology companies. Successful corporate integrations with technical companies bend a firm’s culture toward success. Resistance to acquiring and then becoming a technical company typically stems from fears over making the wrong decision.
