The Evolution of Bundling and Fragmentation in Business
Business evolution cycles between bundling and fragmentation phases driven by technological advancements and shifts in founder mindset. In the past, bundling occurred with Microsoft dominating the market, offering bundled software solutions. Subsequently, the rise of the web enabled the unbundling phase, leading to fragmentation as it became easier to create companies and information became abundant. The current trend is towards AI language models that prefer integrated information and connected endpoints. Founder mindset has also shifted towards technical and product-driven approaches, with a focus on creating superior products. Companies like Facebook exemplify this by acquiring and integrating various services to create bundled products for cross-use and distribution.
