Synopsis

The Darwinian struggle of business keeps getting more brutal as competitive advantage gaps get narrower and narrower. Anything you invent today will soon be copied by someone else—probably better and cheaper.Many companies thrive during the early stages of their life cycle, only to fall slack during periods of inertia and die out while others surge ahead. But as Geoffrey Moore shows, some notable companies have figured out how to deal with Darwin in their mature years—making changes on the fly while fending off challenges from every quarter.

It goes through all the stages that a company experiences and shows you the same pro......more

Goodreads review by Aaron on March 24, 2022

Just ok. Moore's books seem redundant to me. He discusses how business is becoming increasingly competitive — globalization, deregulation and commoditization have taken their toll everywhere you look. Companies are forced to innovate or fold; it’s a constant pressure that goes beyond mere competitio......more
