Recommendation

Author Ray Wang warns that Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google enjoy an insurmountable lead over traditional firms and any would-be challengers – yet their golden age is only beginning. Duopolies – in which two or three digital giants dominate entire sectors of the economy – will prevail in the decades to come, as these corporations leave mere crumbs for everyone else. Policymakers must police, or even blunt, this development, Wang argues, to check the rise of duopolies and leave room for genuine competition.

Take-Aways

  • The digital giants’ rush to dominate the market began after the 2008 financial crisis.
  • The gap between digital giants and would-be competitors fueled an era of emergent duopolies.
  • Success today – and in the coming decades – involves data, digitization and the creation of data-driven digital networks (DDDNs).
