Harvard Business Review: The Consolidation Curve (2002) [pdf]
- mmaunder 12y agoVery nice concise summary of the evolution that sectors/industries go through. This needs to be upvoted because it's very useful for startup founders to understand where they stand in this cycle and where they're headed. Both from their own perspective and the perspective of competitors and acquirers. It's useful for example to help you understand if you should start thinking about buying competitors, buying startups and/or forming alliances.
