Strategy in Nascent Markets

Kathleen Eisenhardt, Stanford University

Kathleen Eisenhardt, Stanford W. Ascherman M.D. Professor in Stanford Engineering, introduces her definition of strategy and her focus on strategy in nascent markets, which are characterized by uncertainty, ambiguity, and speed. Because these markets are new, founders cannot plan their strategies, but they must still be coherent in order to be successful.
