Mike: Can you (we) think of examples in which a King has switched from one value chain and become a King in the other value chain?

Frank: Microsoft, desk OS Gorilla, became King of word processing and spread sheets.

What I meant was a company that is a King in the value chain of one discontinuous innovation switching to being the King in the value chain of a competing discontinuous innovation. At least I think that is what mtnlady is suggesting might happen in the future.
