In the business world, imitation gets a bad rap. We see imitating firms as ?me too? players, forced to copy because they have nothing original to offer. We pity their fate: a life of picking up crumbs discarded by innovators striding a path paved with fame and profit. In Copycats, Oded Shenkar challenges this viewpoint. He reveals how imitation?the exact or broad-brushed copying of an innovation?is as critical to prosperity as innovation. Shenkar shows how savvy imitators generate huge profits. They save not only on R&D costs but also on marketing and advertising investments made by first movers. And they avoid costly errors by observing and learning from others? trials. Copycats presents suggestions for making imitation a core element in your competitive strategy and pairing it powerfully with innovation, including:- How to select the right model to imitate- How to avoid oversimplification of a model- Which imitation strategy to use- How to prepare and execute an implementation planEngaging, practical, and rich in company examples, Copycats unveils how to add imitation to your competitive arsenal. | Copycats by Oded Shenkar, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
