Let's think about the way that changes our modes of production. But, to put it bluntly, Porter's value chain is antiquated in the light of the social era.

Michael Porter and Mark Kramer's article in January's HBR tries to advance our world's shared values by arguing that doing right is the best long-term business strategy. But first, let's praise Porter and Kramer. Their article puts Porter's reputational weight behind an idea that in itself has, well, shared value.

But if you want to win, says Michael Porter , this is absolutely the wrong way to think about competition. Companies benchmark each other's practices and products. Instead, Porter urges a different kind of competition: compete to be unique. Copycat products and services will always make sense. Profitability deteriorates.

And while I'm delighted that giants (many of my intellectual heroes, truth be told) like Porter, Peter Senge, Gary Hamel, Martin Wolf, and others agree, it's another matter to get to the other side.

As Michael Porter argued a long time ago , the simplest measure of competition is profitability.
