Value Creation in Perspective

Matt Barney

Chapter Chapter 7 in Leading Value Creation, 2013, pp 209-219 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As a boy, I thought the old stories of pirates were legends of earlier eras. But today Somalian pirates are so prolific, that they actually have a stock exchange (Ahmed, 2009)! As you might expect, victims despise pirates so they purchase antipirate technologies to protect ships, such as the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD)’s sonic antipirate technologies ( http://www.lradx.com ). Their competitors include a Swedish company selling water cannons at the appropriately named website, http://piratesafe.com . Both help ships target a parasitic transportation bottleneck that delays goods, harms employees, and costs extra money. Similarly, there is an entire antikleptoparasitic industry around systematically negotiating and returning kidnapping victims (Economist, 2012c).
