The reason why it is so difficult for existing firms to capitalize on disruptive innovations is that their processes and their business model that make them good at the existing business actually make them bad at competing for the disruption. |

| rantnrave:// Lots of discussion about SCREENING ROOM and their plans for day and date movies in the home. While I have not seen the service yet and don't know all the specifics of the plan I do think a growing number of consumers want those movies available immediately in their home. Or at least the choice. The industry is still held hostage by the "film ultimate" formula which forecasts total earnings based on theater run. Filmmakers still want the dream of the lights going down and entertaining audiences in a theater. I get it. I love going to the movies. I love the escape. But media businesses need to serve their audiences before their distributors. Watch any kid in an on-demand world and ask them what their expectation is. They think everything is on NETFLIX. Theaters aren't going away. But the demand for a home experience day and date will only grow. If these big franchises are about giving fans what they want. Why doesn't that extend to exhibition location? Think about your consumer first... Excited to be back full time at REDEF.

In 2014, airlines in the United States billed more than three billion dollars in "change fees"-fees charged to customers who cancelled or changed itineraries. This bounty came after most of the industry (minus Southwest) tacitly agreed to create a new industry standard of two hundred dollars per change, plus, in some cases, an additional fifty-dollar service fee for tickets booked on non-airline Web sites. | |

This fascinating biography opens with its horrible subject, David Litvinoff, coming round after a severe beating. He is naked, bleeding, has had his head shaved and is bound to a chair which is in turn secured to a fifth-floor balcony railing above Kensington High Street, along which a CND march happens to be passing. He struggles free, staggers through his vandalized flat and, one suspects, immediately starts to work up the story to amuse his friends. Keiron Pim reveals that the man behind this brutal punishment was the artist Lucian Freud, with whom Litvinoff had fallen out. | |

I visited SeaWorld in San Diego as a kid; I loved it. Of course, I also remember loving Orky and Corky, the performing orcas at Marineland of the Pacific, SeaWorld's less prestigious competitor in Los Angeles. From the standpoint of the 21st century, that park - once featured in an episode of "I Love Lucy" - was no doubt a dreadful place. | |
