"Industy executives and analysts often mistakenly talk about strategy as if it were some kind of chess match. But in chess you just have two opponents, each with identical resources and with luck playing a minimal role.

In our industry, Billgates owns the table until someone proves otherwise." - David Moschella

Don't let ayone tell you different. think about what it's like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take your money, and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside.
