Dominant Designs: How Dominant Technological Designs Make Our World Simpler But Worst-Off

Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/r3ciprocity A dominant design occurs when a design with specific features becomes the de facto standard within a product sector. There’s no consensus of when this emerges, however it is probably when one design accounts for 40-60% or more of the products. Prior to the emergence of the dominant design, there is usually an era of ferment, where firms are competing on different designs as they are not quite sure of what consumers prefer. Once the dominant design emerges, then competition usually is a winner-take-all market. The winner take all market appears to be a duopoly or monopoly structure. Essentially, what this means is that there’s just a clear preference for one product design over another. This means that sometimes the best product doesn’t always win. And also means that path dependency, or historical events, also makes a very large difference on the outcomes of a technology. I think from a perspective of consumer choice and democracy, this is clearly a moment of where behavioral tendencies trump more rationale decision-making perspectives. In general, I think that sometimes we end up with what is called a ‘prisoners dilemma,’ where if we all choose to maximize our own benefits, at the expense of others, that we end up with the result that is inferior in the long run. In long-run, it might mean fewer choices to choose from, which can result in some people being poorly served in a free-market. When a dominant design emerges, there is a market opportunity for additional product categories because there is unmet needs. For More Reading And References, See: Anderson, P., M. Tushman. 1990.

Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements. r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money. The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
