Clark Gilbert - From Resource Allocation To Strategy


Listen Later

In this episode, long time friend of the show, Clark Gilbert joins us to discuss his book 'Anomaly Seeking Research, 30 Years of Development in Resource Allocation Theory,' co-authored with Clayton Christensen and others. Gilbert elaborates on key themes from the book, including Joe Bower's groundbreaking 1970 resource allocation model, and how this framework has shaped decades of strategic management research. He provides valuable insights into the iterative and multi-level nature of resource allocation processes and how they influence organizational strategy. Real-world examples from various industries, including media and academia, are used to illustrate core concepts. The episode also explores the impact of customer dependency and non-consumption on resource allocation and strategy formation. Sponsored by Kyndryl, this episode offers a deep dive into how innovative strategies are developed and executed across different sectors.
