    Owning Game-Changing Subcategories is about creating organizational growth in the digital age by creating and owning game-changing subcategories fueled by digital.Owning Game-Changing Subcategories outlines the path to finding, managing, and leveraging new subcategories. In the digital age, the path has been made wider, shorter, and more frequently traveled. Throughout Owning Game-Changing Subcategories, David Aaker discusses certain aspects of the digital age that alter this path, such as E-commerce providing fast, inexpensive market access bypassing the cost of gaining distribution into storefront retailers or creating personal sales teams and social media and websites enabling communication on steroids in comparison with traditional use of advertising or events.      Growth is not only a success measure but also creates energy and opportunity for customers and employees. And such growth almost never occurs with “my brand is better than your brand” marketing. Owning Game-Changing Subcategories explores the only ways to grow a business (with rare exceptions) which is to:develop new “must haves” that define a game-changing subcategory that provides a new or markedly superior buying or use experience or brand relationship to a core customer base;become the exemplar brand that represents the subcategory and drives its visibility, positioning, and success; and   create barriers to competitors that could include “must-have” associations and a basis of relationships that go beyond functional benefits.

    NAMED A "BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF 2019" by strategy+business 
    
     
    
    Annually, $4.6 trillion of merchandise is left in abandoned e-commerce shopping carts.  
    
     
    
     
    
    Every year, the U.S. economy loses $3 trillion dollars in productivity due to excess bureaucracy.  
    
     
    
     
    
    Red tape and over-complicated licenses have contributed to China’s GDP exceeding India’s by $82 trillion over the span of just three decades. 
    
     
    
     
    
    If you’re a business leader, these statistics should give you nightmares. According to science-based marketing and business expert Roger Dooley, they illustrate the real and growing threat of “friction,” which he defines as the unnecessary expenditure of time, effort, or money in performing a task.  
    
     
    
     
    
    In today's high-speed, customer-empowered world, the levels of swiftness and efficiency of business transactions will determine ultimate success or failure. In this groundbreaking guide, Dooley helps you spot the inevitable points of friction in your organization, and he provides the tools and insight you need to eliminate them. By truly understanding the impact friction can have, you’ll be able to establish positive habits and eliminate negative ones-all with the end result of building a company that’s the envy of your industry. Friction takes you step-by-step through the process of: 
    
     
    
     
    
    * Empowering frank conversations 
    
    * Guiding individual and team behaviors 
    
    * Getting ahead of friction 
    
    * Optimizing the customer experience 
    
    * Building a frictionless corporate culture 
    
     
    
     
    
    Combining scientific research with real-life examples of leaders who have conquered business friction, Dooley teaches you how to identify roadblocks, alter them for the benefit of both business and customer, and create positive, lasting change. 
    
     
    
     
    
    If you’re in a leadership position, now is the time to declare war on friction-before your competitors do. Stamp out ridiculous rules, pointless procedures, and meaningless meetings. Become a relentless advocate for the customer and for minimizing customer effort. Lubricate every point of friction and make your company run like a well-oiled machine. 
    
     
    
     
    
    Friction provides the know-how you need to lead your company to industry dominance.
