Para reflexão, acerca da vantagem do pioneiro

"Get Ahead by Betting Wrong"
.
"Companies that invest heavily in R&D are often torn between emerging technologies, wondering which will win in the market and is therefore the one to develop.
...
 Conventional wisdom suggests that they pay dearly for getting it wrong. But my research shows that betting on a losing technology and then switching to the winner can position a company to come out ahead of competitors that were on the right track all along.
...
 I believe that switching to a new technology often forces companies to rapidly ascend a steep learning curve, [Moi ici: E o sentimento de estarem numa burning platform acelera-lhes os ritmos] and they can then use their knowledge to beat competitors whose learning proceeded more slowly."
