Chris Anderson on Markets - Dictionary of Arguments
I 5 Market/Anderson: Anderson's thesis: the mass market is transformed into a mass of niches. These niches have always existed. Only now are they found by search engines and are available. Within these niches there are smaller markets with local stars. >Search engines. I 7 Digital markets: the 80/20 rule no longer applies here, which otherwise applies almost everywhere: 80% of sales are made with 20% of the goods. In the digital market, on the other hand, the ratio is 98/2. e.g. 2 % of the titles in juke boxes are selected in 98% of the cases. >Internet, >Internet culture, >Social media, >Social networks. Robbie Vann-Adibè (CEO of Ecast until 2005): Thesis: in the age of reduced shipping costs to almost zero and instant access, consumers are looking for just about everything. This means that 98% of the goods that would never have been found before are now available. I 8 Anderson: this would radically transform some of the largest markets. (...) New: demand is no longer filtered by scarcity. I 11 Market/Anderson: Thesis: in the 21st century we can speak of markets with unlimited choice. I 22 Amazon: Amazon makes a third of its turnover with books that are too rarely sold to get into the normal bookstores at all._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
