Another Comment from a Friend
A great comment from an old buddy who is not in the technology business, but has his own business and is so thoughtful about it. He's also right that IXTAPA and Wal*Mart are great play examples respectively of stealth and drag race. Thanks Jamie!
Rich,
This is a very clear and straight forward example of something we see every day and the success of Enterprise and those that follow this model is clear.
In our neck of the woods, we see IXTAPA Mexican Restaurants. Never heard of them? Just go out to the outlying towns, Duvall, North Bend, and Monroe. Areas that haven't seen the deluge of choices most towns have for dining out.
They spot their locations, provide a great dining experience for customers that previously had to go to a larger town, and have gained a foothold and name recognition for very loyal diners. Their employee base is very good for a whole other set of reasons.
I am enjoying the excerpts enough to buy your book.
Would a behemoth that Drag Raced and stealthed be Wal-Mart? Maybe there's a chapter on Super Saturation, or "Fill Any Freakin' Open Spot". Maybe that would describe Wal-Mart better. LOL
