The Industrialist's Dilemma: Thomas Tull, Legendary Pictures (video)

The Industrialist's Dilemma Session 9: Thomas Tull, Legendary Pictures - The way people spend their free time today is fundamentally changing how individuals watch movies and television. Consumers have substantively more options for consuming video with the advent of Netflix, YouTube and other social media, said Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull.

"On the theatrical side this is becoming a winner takes all business. The films that are breaking out are doing better than ever. And the films that come out, even if they have a star, even if they have a lot of money behind them, that's not a shield against them going to almost zero. And that is a very, very different experience than when I first started in this business in 2004."

During his visit to The Industrialist's Dilemma class on March 10, 2016, Thomas discussed with Lecturers Robert Siegel and Aaron Levie, amongst other things, how Legendary is responding to these changes and using data to be more effective in its marketing and advertising to target audiences in order to yield better results.

The Industrialist's Dilemma, Beth Comstock, GE (video)

The Industrialist's Dilemma Session 8: Beth Comstock, GE - At at time when GE is facing slowly-growing or no-growth market segments, industrial firms still have to find growth – both in their existing businesses and in new areas. GE saw digitization coming to several of its business units and realized that they had to make changes to how they were running the company, shared GE Vice Chair and CMO Beth Comstock. "We had to first say what digitization meant to our company, and we saw the opportunity. We had to name it to claim it. We said we saw the Industrial Internet."

During her visit to The Industrialist's Dilemma class on March 3, 2016, Beth discussed with Lecturers Robert Siegel and Aaron Levie how GE is changing its business models, partnering with Silicon Valley companies, and adding new competencies that complement its existing heritage.
