FABERNOVEL's New Study Explains How The New Disruptors Outperform Google And Amazon In The Network EconomySAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The fastest growing superpowers in the Network Economy are not Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon, but rather Netflix, Airbnb, Tesla, and Uber. These 'unicorns' have built their massive success on the scaffolding of GAFA's infrastructures, according to a new study from FABERNOVEL. The study, which presents actionable lessons for companies looking to reshape their strategy for the new economy, finds that the fastest-growing superpowers in the Network Economy position themselves as Magnet, Intimate, Real Time, or Infinite Enterprises.

GAFA are driven by a common vision of borderless markets and a customer-centric culture which redefined their notions of value creation, core business, and talent management. With over $350B of cumulative turnover in 2014, a 10.7% increase over 2013, GAFA already had a comparable economic power to South Africa, the world's 32nd largest economy by GDP. GAFA's collective available cash of $118B in 2014 was enough to buy British Petroleum. FABERNOVEL's 2015 study returns to look at GAFA as open network organizers and leaders of the Network Economy. The report, 4 Superpowers to Outperform in the Network Economy, analyzes the new generation of startups GAFA have spawned. It finds thatmore than half of 'Unicorn' startups valued at over $1B relied on GAFA to facilitate and accelerate their launch and their growth. Today's giants, disruptors, and their clones from all over the world have mastered GAFA's rules, and the homogenization of emerging models is gradually shaping a new economy. These new players are increasingly showing phenomenal growth rates. Unicorns – a category that has more than doubled from 42 to 119 between January 2014 and July 2015 – commonly reach a valuation of $1B in just 18 to 24 months. By comparison, Google took 8 years to reach this valuation, and a classic Fortune 500 company once took 20. The Internet and its networks have facilitated market access and shifted the location of both resources and value. Whereas in the industrial economy, company-controlled value creation led to centralized resources, the Network Economy's hyper-flow of information, opinions, and access to assets require new approaches. FABERNOVEL's report finds that GAFA and new disruptors like Uber and Netflix are mutating towards a Value Distributor model: organized by network, they identify value points and redistribute them. FABERNOVEL's study finds that the fastest-growing companies understand and control this network organization, and with it the pool of connections and interactions that provide new performance levers:
