John Antioco:对 Netflix 的轻视和错误的商业决策导致 Blockbuster 错失良机,最终走向衰败。他坚持传统的商业模式,忽视了互联网和在线租赁的兴起,并且对 Netflix 的威胁反应迟缓。他认为顾客不会放弃实体店租赁,这是一种严重的误判。 Reed Hastings:Netflix 的成功源于其规模远小于 Blockbuster,并且在竞争中幸运地存活下来。他强调了专注于核心业务的重要性,以及在面对巨头竞争时保持灵活性和适应性的必要性。 Jason Bailey:Blockbuster 的顾客体验并不理想,其规模掩盖了其服务质量问题。他认为 Blockbuster 的规模化运营导致顾客体验下降,高额滞纳金和糟糕的顾客服务是其失败的重要原因。 Gina Keating:Blockbuster 的“可控不满”策略虽然在短期内有效,但长期来看阻碍了其创新和发展。她还指出 Netflix 积极游说华尔街,阻止 Blockbuster 获得融资,这在 Blockbuster 的衰败过程中扮演了重要角色。 Shane Evangelist:Blockbuster 虽然成功复制了 Netflix 的商业模式,但由于新任 CEO 的决策失误和 Carl Icahn 的干预,最终导致在线业务被放弃,错失了扭转局面的机会。 James Keyes:Blockbuster 巨额债务是其衰败的重要原因,在经济衰退时期,债务问题更加突出,限制了公司在在线业务上的投资和发展。 Steve Swayze:Netflix 始终关注 Blockbuster 的动态,并将其视为主要竞争对手。他认为 Netflix 的成功在于其专注于核心业务,并及时调整策略以适应市场变化。 节目主持人:总结了 Blockbuster 倒闭的多种原因,包括战略失误、竞争压力、债务问题、经济衰退以及激进投资者 Carl Icahn 的干预等。
