THE INDUSTRY MAKERS, AND A PRESCRIPTION FOR INCUMBENTS: The Final Volume Showing New Industries in the Age of AI and Evolution Strategies for Incumbent FirmsAI Management Library – Volume X The Companies That Created Industries—and What Existing Enterprises Must Learn Why do some companies create industries, while others continue to lead them? IBM. TSMC. ASML. Arm. Costco. BYD. SpaceX. Anthropic. Although these eight companies operate in very different industries, they share one defining characteristic. They did not simply compete within existing markets. They redefined the rules of their industries. Some built the foundations of the semiconductor ecosystem. Others transformed artificial intelligence, space exploration, electric vehicles, or retail. Meanwhile, many established enterprises—despite possessing outstanding technologies, talented people, and abundant resources—have struggled to adapt to changing environments and have gradually lost their competitive advantage. What separates those that reshape industries from those that fall behind? This book answers that question through the perspectives of Future Value Theory and Enterprise Redefinition, providing a systematic framework for understanding what organizations must redefine to thrive in the Age of AI.
