11. Strategic Framework
11.1. Strategic Generatives. A generative value is a quality or attribute that must be generated, grown, cultivated, nurtured. A generative thing can not be copied, cloned, faked, replicated, counterfeited, or reproduced. It is generated uniquely, in place, over time and in this respect conforms to Porter's model for developing sustainable business strategies and Emerald's stated strategy of Focussed Differentiation
11.1.1. Immediacy
11.1.1.1. Sooner or later you can find a free copy of almost any digital article, but getting a copy (or an alert) delivered to your inbox the moment it is released -- or even better, produced (like earlyCITE) -- by the publsher is a generative asset
11.1.1.2. Emerald alerts. emails, and presence in social/professional and academic communities can provide immediacy that pirated or aggregated/embargoed agreements cannot
11.1.2. Personalisation
11.1.2.1. A generic version of a concert recording may be free, but if you want a copy that has been tweaked to sound perfect in your particular living room -- as if it were preformed in your room -- you may be willing to pay a lot. Personalisation requires an ongoing conversation between the publisher and student, researcher and faculty. It is deeply generative because it is iterative and time consuming. You can't copy the personalisation that a relationship represents which accords very well with Emerald's Porterian strategy fo focussed differentiation
11.1.2.2. Emerald's range of applications, social media presence, customer and subject portals, Saved search and ToC alerts combine to deliver a highly personal and personalised experience that you own and exercise control over.
11.1.3. Contextual Interpretation
11.1.3.1. Goes to meaning making and giving context to the content after discovery and access. Making use of content, free or otherwise, requires judgement, awareness and discretion. Content on it's own cannot provide this, but a community and strong editorial policy can link to supporting people and advice that is highly iterative and generative and offers a highly valuable, perhaps unique proposition that differentiates content providers.
11.1.3.2. Emerald's Supplemental materials, guidance and learning combined with coherent metadata polciies and relationships to like content can combine to provide contextual interpretation and support to the user after the discovery and access phases.
11.1.4. Authenticity
11.1.4.1. Relates to trust and confidence. Sure, you could download some free, wikipedia research or something from an IR but sometimes you need to be sure the content you're relying on is authentic, verified and substantiated - Peer reviewed or edited in some way and differentiated from 'Free'
11.1.4.2. The Emerald brand - trust, high quality, relevance with rigour. Evidenced by citation, impact, usage and recommendation
11.1.5. Embodiment
11.1.5.1. At its core the digital copy is without a body. Possible to take a copy of a work and throw it on a screen. People like a physical thing in their hand too and will pay for it.
11.1.5.2. Emerald can provide embodiment via POD, print outs, download rights, mobility to digital articles and research
11.1.6. Findability/Discoverability
11.1.6.1. When there are millions of books, millions of articles, millions of blogs, millions of everything requesting our attention,being found is valuable.
11.1.6.2. That Emerald can find, nurture and refine the work of authors that they believe researchers will connect with.
11.1.7. Accessibility
11.1.7.1. Ownership often sucks. Many people are be happy to have others tend to their "holdings" by subscribing to them. Research institutions will Emerald to serve their resarchers access to content anywhere int he world and on any device world, when and where we want it, as well as any table, photo or dataset.
11.1.7.2. The basic Emerald proposition -Selling ACCESS to leading research from around the world.
11.2. Digital Strategic Framework. In this context, I use the term online strategy to be limited to the development of plans to deploy Emerald's online assets (content) to maximize business results (products and databases) and digital strategy to be the more transformative step of developing into a digital business, where digital connotes deeper interactions with stakeholders (authors, researchers, students, faculty and professionals), more personalised offerings and interactions, data driven decision making, and an organisational models and processes which are more nimble and reactive to changes in the business, technology and industry environment . An Emerald digital strategy should consistent with the Strategic Priorities, is aligned to WV objectives, resources and capabilities and recognises the dynamism of the digital environment in which Emerald participates. The Digital Strategic Framework is underpinned by the Strategic Priorities of the business and provides a coherent decision making scope in order to deliver the unique generative properties described above.
