This Podsight is composed of excerpts from Hamilton Helmer's book, "7 Powers," including forewords and an introduction. The book introduces a framework for understanding and achieving lasting competitive advantage in business, focusing on seven "powers": Scale Economies, Network Economies, Counter-Positioning, Switching Costs, Branding, Cornered Resources, and Process Power. The excerpts detail each power, illustrate them with case studies (e.g., Netflix, Intel, Pixar, Toyota), and explain how these powers interact with industry economics and competitive positioning to create durable value. Numerous endorsements from prominent CEOs and investors highlight the book's significance and practical application in business strategy.
