Honestly, that's way too simplistic a point of view.
The biggest reason large companies that move slow continue to succeed in their original business, is because their original processes and flow are from when they were growing, while they were learning and more agile in their space. As a result, they still generally provide much more value there than the average startup can compare to, in at least a few specific areas, specific to each business.
That's why the blue ocean approach often succeeds much more than trying to take on a large company at their own game. It's hard, because it's a huge organization dedicated to being good at that one thing- and nothing more. So the better answer is to sidestep, not to take them on directly.
