Will & Vision: How Latecomers Grow to Dominate Markets

Finished reading "Will & Vision: How Latecomers Grow to Dominate Markets" and was a little depressed. Statistically companies that create breaktrough products don't do well.

There is no "first mover's advantage". Companies that rely on being a first mover tend to be slaughtered by companies that have business process innovation and are good at copying others ideas (walmart, microsoft).
