Are you saying that something other than a discontinuous innovation can cause a gorilla to no longer be the gorilla?

Bad business decisions can sink any company. A gorilla mid-tornado has a lot of momentum going for it that may provide a somewhat more forgiving context for some kinds of mistakes, but the tornado also creates growth requirements which are a major challenge. What, for example, do you expect would be the fate of a gorilla who latched on to a tornado and then fell massively short for a prolonged period of time on its ability to deliver product?
