Core Argument - The article argues that the "moat" theory, which has dominated business strategy for the past three decades, is becoming obsolete as the world transitions to a new strategic paradigm called the "consensus plain" [2][3][5]. Group 1: The Decline of the Moat Theory - The moat theory, introduced by Warren Buffett in 1993, emphasized the importance of having a strong competitive advantage to protect investment returns from competitors [2]. - Historical examples illustrate how established companies like Coca-Cola, Kodak, and Walmart have seen their competitive advantages eroded by new entrants that leverage changing consumer preferences and technological advancements [3][5]. - The moat's effectiveness is diminishing as the business landscape shifts from a closed castle model to an open value network model, leading to a strategic paradigm shift [5]. Group 2: Characteristics of the Moat - The moat consists of three essential elements: scarcity, control, and isolation, which were relevant during the industrial era characterized by limited resources [9]. - Brand moats rely on monopolizing consumer perception through significant advertising investments [9]. - Patent moats utilize legal protections to create exclusive advantages based on technological scarcity [9]. - Scale moats achieve cost advantages through high production volumes, allowing companies to dominate pricing [9]. Group 3: Forces Eroding the Moat - Three converging forces are dismantling the moat: the abundance of resources, the networked nature of value creation, and the fluidity of consumer consensus [12][10]. - The abundance of resources, facilitated by cloud computing and open-source movements, has transformed previously scarce resources into accessible infrastructures [12]. - Value is increasingly generated within interconnected ecosystems rather than solely within individual companies, diminishing the relevance of traditional moats [12]. - Consumer loyalty is shifting from static brand recognition to dynamic engagement with values and narratives, making traditional brand moats vulnerable [12]. Group 4: The Consensus Plain Strategy - The "consensus plain" strategy emerges as a new approach when moat logic fails, characterized by an open value creation and exchange environment [13]. - The consensus plain is defined by a shared vision and collaborative rules, attracting participants who contribute to its value [15]. - A strong consensus plain consists of three layers: narrative consensus (the overarching story), rule consensus (operational guidelines), and value consensus (how value is shared) [16]. Group 5: Constructing the Consensus Plain - Building a consensus plain involves a four-step foundational method: identifying value vacuums, crafting a compelling narrative, designing initial rules, and initiating a "cold start flywheel" [22][23]. - Identifying areas with unmet needs is crucial for establishing a consensus plain, as demonstrated by Pinduoduo's focus on price-sensitive consumers [24]. - A powerful narrative serves as the gravitational force for the consensus plain, as seen in Huawei's vision for a unified operating system [29]. - Initial rules must be simple and transparent, facilitating participation and collaboration, as exemplified by BYD's open supply chain model [30]. Group 6: The Evolution of Rules in the Consensus Plain - The power lies in the continuous definition and evolution of rules within the consensus plain, requiring companies to transition from product managers to civilization architects [36]. - Rule definition grants significant commercial power, as illustrated by NVIDIA's dominance through its CUDA ecosystem [37]. - Rules must evolve to maintain vitality and balance, necessitating gradual experimentation and community governance [40]. Group 7: Interactions Between Consensus Plains - As multiple consensus plains coexist, competition and cooperation create a complex landscape, leading to various relationships such as absorption, bridging, and confrontation [50][51]. - The collaboration between national-level and regional plains exemplifies how different levels can resonate and enhance overall value creation [55].

Core Viewpoint - The European cross-border e-commerce market is undergoing significant changes due to new tax policies and increasing scrutiny on Chinese e-commerce platforms like SHEIN and Temu, which face challenges in expanding their market presence in Europe [1][5][19]. Group 1: Regulatory Changes - The European Council has announced the implementation of a small package tax policy, which will take effect in early 2026, eliminating the previous exemption for goods under €150 [1]. - All incoming packages will now incur customs duties, VAT, and a customs inspection fee of approximately €2, which will complicate the logistics for e-commerce platforms [1][5]. - Experts suggest that these changes will shift consumer purchasing decisions from price-driven to value and trust-oriented, increasing the operational costs for sellers due to the need for more detailed customs data [5][21]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - In 2024, the EU is expected to receive 4.6 billion low-value e-commerce packages, with 91% originating from China, equating to approximately 4.186 billion packages [7][8]. - Despite regulatory challenges, Temu and SHEIN have seen substantial user growth in Europe, with Temu's monthly active users reaching 115.7 million in the first half of 2025, a 12.5% increase from the previous year [9]. - The economic downturn in Europe, exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has led consumers to seek more affordable options, benefiting discount retailers and platforms like Temu and SHEIN [10][11][14]. Group 3: Consumer Behavior - European consumers are increasingly turning to discount stores and e-commerce platforms for essential goods, reflecting a shift in spending habits due to inflation and economic uncertainty [10][14]. - The disparity between wealth and poverty in Europe is growing, with many middle-class consumers feeling the pinch and opting for cheaper alternatives like SHEIN [15][16]. - The demand for affordable products is evident, as consumers express a preference for low-cost options over locally produced goods, highlighting a significant market opportunity for Chinese e-commerce [15][16]. Group 4: Strategic Responses - Some sellers are considering shifting to local e-commerce platforms to navigate the new regulatory landscape, but experts argue that this strategy may be outdated due to declining marketing budgets on these platforms [19][21]. - Sellers are still required to pay customs duties regardless of whether they ship directly from China or use local warehouses, complicating the logistics further [21]. - Temu and SHEIN are viewed as the best options for sellers due to their traffic advantages and lower commission rates compared to other platforms [21][22]. Group 5: Brand Development - The long-term solution for sellers lies in building brands rather than relying solely on low-price strategies, which are unsustainable in the European market [28][31]. - Successful brand development requires a focus on product positioning, uniqueness, and alignment with market needs, as demonstrated by the success of brands like Avril Paris [31][33]. - The rise of the Print on Demand (POD) model has shown that Chinese sellers can effectively respond to market trends and consumer demands for personalized products [29][30].
