¶ … Tail
Anderson (2004) argued that the laws of supply and demand can be viewed in a different manner that can positively affect an organization's ability to create and sustain a competitive advantage within a market. Using the entertainment market as an example, he suggested that opportunities exist in fulfilling specific and unique customer demands in smaller quantity and dismiss more mainstream approaches.
The purpose of this essay is to explain how the economics of abundance discussed in this article, or the long tail approach, may be applied in managing information systems. This essay will suggest that all systems are about finding a balance point between quantity and quality and in some cases, as in the long tail scenario, they are not asymmetrical.
When organizations seek to tailor the fine entertainment tastes described in Anderson's work, they discover that there are many customers who will readily spend money on attaining unique and special items. It is a growing trend to become an outsider and prefer things outside the mainstream it appears from this author's research. I tend to agree in some aspects, but this trend itself is nothing but a temporary market correction that reflects a natural balancing effort.
