3.0 out of 5 stars Not all Good Companies go bad due to 'Active Intertia'
Though the author did a decent job in addressing the 'Active Intertia' Hypothesis, many examples were tweaked to prove the point. 'Active Inertia' alone is never the only reason for failure in the real world. One need not give up their Core Competencies, Core Values or their Prefered Customers to be successful. Most of the businesses are successful because of their niche...

Though the author did a decent job in addressing the 'Active Intertia' Hypothesis, many examples were tweaked to prove the point. 'Active Inertia' alone is never the only reason for failure in the real world. One need not give up their Core Competencies, Core Values or their Prefered Customers to be successful. Most of the businesses are successful because of their niche in comparison to their peers and the select group of markets they address. No one company can satisfy the needs and wishes of the entire market range. Porsche is successful because of its dedication to 'performance' and Ford derived its success from the 'Car to Common Man' Vision. One should be globally aware of their competitors and continuously improve processes and products, without loosing focus on customer's changing needs/demands.
