James,
I really appreciated the article and the additional explanation.
I tried to figure out a way to word this question, so forgive me if it isn't clear but:
Did Steve Jobs even do the right thing? What I mean by that is that if you had 10 companies would you want all those CEOs making what seems to be illogical decisions in the off chance you get an Apple?
Take Blockbuster for example, sure they obviously did the wrong thing in hindsight, but no one, and I mean no one thought netflix was going to be as successful as it was when it first started. I remember thinking, gosh, that is a lot of mailing expense for $7/month.
How many ideas came along and went that were not worth replicating? I'm sure there are tons.
There is probably some new network being worked on right now that will displace facebook in 10 years. Should facebook radically change the way they do business to adopt to that new basically unknown threat?
- apenwarr 15y agoThat's what makes it a dilemma. :) The book is well worth reading, and this is what it talks about.
