Why is it so hard to design a new market?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As great as its benefits are, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-market-design\/\">market design<\/a> is difficult for three reasons. However, the book <em>Play Bigger<\/em> suggests that overcoming these disadvantages is worth it for your company in the long-run<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at why entering the new market has its disadvantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reason-1-you-must-build-your-company-product-and-market-simultaneously\">Reason #1: You Must Build Your Company, Product, and Market Simultaneously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the authors, the first disadvantage of entering a new market is that <strong>you must build your company, market, and product <em>simultaneously<\/em> so they support and reinforce each other<\/strong>\u2014a colossal challenge for any company. When you can do this, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/flywheel-effect-jim-collins\/\">flywheel effect<\/a> occurs, wherein one part of the company boosts the next part, which boosts the third part, which boosts the first part, and so on. When this flywheel composed of company, market, and product spins fast enough, the company builds so much momentum that it becomes the unbeatable market winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you might build your low-tech devices company, market, and product simultaneously by encouraging developers to think in a minimalistic way and to make only limited use of tech in their work because this approach is aligned with the product you\u2019re selling. You might also choose to employ more marketers than developers because your company\u2019s challenge won\u2019t be the development of the product\u2014in your case, relatively easy\u2014but rather the marketing of a product that\u2019s intentionally less advanced than others on offer. These choices about the company in turn improve the product and market design, which loop back and further improve the company\u2014thereby starting a flywheel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reason-2-the-tendency-to-settle-for-better-not-different\">Reason #2: The Tendency to Settle for \u2018Better,\u2019 Not \u2018Different\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another disadvantage of entering a new market is that <strong>there\u2019s a strong pull to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/create-a-product\/\">create a product<\/a> that\u2019s better\u2014not different\u2014in an existing market simply because doing so is easier than creating a different product in a new market<\/strong>, write the authors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because, at some point in the inception of a new business, the daily demands of running it begin to take priority over the bigger-picture concerns of market design and aligning company, market, and product in service of building a new market. What\u2019s more, businesses experience financial pressure to make a profit now by catering to existing customer needs and problems instead of bringing in greater profit later by creating a whole new market. All this leads to the tendency to simply build a good-enough product that can compete in an existing market but won\u2019t ever make you a market winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/zero-to-one\"><em>Zero to One<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Peter Thiel argues that not only is it more <em>profitable<\/em> for a company to fight the tendency toward creating better, not different, but it\u2019s also <em>necessary<\/em> for global progress and the survival of humanity. He contends that when companies around the world <em>replicate<\/em> the products and processes that have made western countries affluent\u2014rather than building novel products and processes\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/zero-to-one\/chapter-1#the-path-of-progress\">they also replicate the harmful environmental impact of those products and processes<\/a> and perpetuate unfair business practices that concentrate wealth.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, when setting up your low-tech device company, investors may pressure you to add high-tech features to your product so it can compete with other smartphones, and customers might also clamor for such features because they want a product that\u2019s akin to other products they\u2019re familiar with and don\u2019t realize they have a problem of tech overwhelm. Heeding these voices, however, would prevent you from establishing a new market for low-tech devices and making yourself its winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reason-3-consumers-hesitate-to-embrace-new-solutions\">Reason #3: Consumers Hesitate to Embrace New Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final disadvantage of entering new markets is that <strong>it\u2019s difficult to get consumers to embrace a new solution or market<\/strong>, write the authors. Humans have a natural tendency to want to maintain the status quo, and it takes significant effort to shift consumers\u2019 thinking from acceptance of the way things are now to an understanding of how things could be improved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you design your market, as we\u2019ll discuss in the next part, <strong>you\u2019re responsible for shifting consumers\u2019 mindsets from the status quo to embracing the new possibilities your market and product provide<\/strong>. At your low-tech company, you\u2019ll need to show consumers how the status quo\u2014constant smartphone use\u2014is a problem and how life could be better if they weren\u2019t so engrossed in their phones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the disadvantages of entering new markets?
