White Raven: An innovation Factory or a packaged service?

As a response to Keso, "rambling: Entrepreneurship or incubation."

Although the mobile war has not yet formally opened, but the final seems to have been expected, the winner will be several based on the cloud, with open application features, with basic http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18542.html "> Information sharing and business benefit sharing capabilities of the platform-oriented enterprises. Other mobile players should be the application and service providers on each platform, because the platform itself has a benefit-sharing mechanism, and the application itself can be their own business model, these players can live very moist. The future of mobile market, must be based on data, applications, benefit sharing, platform collaboration, transparent and open, than the previous software market, the current traditional internet market more dynamic.

Instead of talking about platform companies, Keso said that "there are really more opportunities to hatch" from "very creative and dynamic" on the Android and iphone platforms.

I am very optimistic about the "very creative, dynamic" small company on the Android and iphone platforms, and even tried to do it myself. I think such a small company, the first need to have several characteristics:
1. Innovation Ability
2, rapid response capacity
3. Small and flexible team
4. The whole team's obsession with doing things
5, down-to-earth for the user to solve specific problems of the ability
6. Cost Control Ability

Idealab is a respectable company, not just a personal incubator for Bill Gross, but a group of people who are practicing creative things that once represented the innovation momentum of the entire technology sector. A group of creative, capable, passionate people obsessed with technological innovation, efforts to practice, and quickly and skillfully participate in a creative to do from 0 to 1. It's just that they're not good at getting one thing from 1 to 100, lacking the ability to correct themselves in the late-stage operation, or GoTo.com (later Overture) will not be defeated by Google, to know that Idealab's valuation was once more than 10 billion dollars.

Mobile areas, including China's mobile sector, is likely to come out another idealab in the next 3-5 years, which is very much to be expected. But I never thought the innovation plant would be such a (or similar) business.

First of all, I do not think that, before the war has yet to be finalized, the resumption of the halo-shrouded small business that is willing to do the platform. A great counselor who used to live a luxurious life in a princely mansion, had the strength to seal the Houbaisiang, and suddenly you let him out to open a small country noodle. You have the heart, he can not help but afraid

Second, I do not believe that a habit of high beat the people, and suddenly will be responsible for passing the small guard. Even if he wanted to, he could hardly resist the ball. Do not rely on resources, to go from very specific very real small things start, for the open complex is afraid of difficult. I think he's better off playing the "odd art net" that holds up the high beat, of course, after the end of his forbidden period.

Then, for the future platform enterprises, the object of acquisition will not be the application provider, but the platform infrastructure provider, the purpose of the acquisition should be more team and talent, rather than a project or a product. If you're just buying a product or project, I think those big companies aren't interested. And, the model that the Innovation factory shows now most want to sell is the product, not the person. Unless you start at the beginning, you just want to tie up a bunch of good people and sell them. (This is probably also keso so-called "from the beginning with the potential of large companies to acquire the expertise of the company" bar, hehe. ）

I would say that innovative factories should be seen as a good packaging tool. Its task is to put Kai-Fu Lee's personal experience, connections, influence, attention and a sincere and handsome face, packaged into a generic component, put on the "innovation" of the skin, and then into one of the need to be concerned about the project, bundled sales. (But at the same time, the Innovation factory recently in the mobile field of propaganda and publicity, for this has not yet been a potential area of good. ）

Innovation？ Packaged services.
