> There is absolutely no hope for a company that follows that strategy. Well said. It may work or even be optimal in mature areas where there is little or no change. But in a technology company failing to adventure into new areas aggressively is death. Consider that once Yahoo was the 800lb gorilla and Google was the tiny startup. Where was Yahoo's Android? Where is their Google docs, etc? They've made lots and lots of small bets but they never made the big bets, at least, not successfully. Now they are too weak to make big bets, but they should make them anyway, possibly under a different brand.
