"The newer model for starting businesses relies on hypothesis, experiment and testing in the marketplace, from the day a company is founded.

(Moi ici: O grau de pureza estratégica tem de aumentar) During the relatively stable periods between episodic transitions, it is difficult for followers to catch the leader, just as it is difficult for one of the two or three leaders to pull far ahead of the others. But in moments of transition, the old pecking order of competitors may be upset and a new order becomes possible."
