As you will have seen by now, I did answer the question in terms of briefly discussing a couple examples of arguable gorilla-like entities which were slipping from or failing to live up to their expected position. If you would like to winnow your list so that it only included companies identified as gorillas, then we can see if there are any on which I have any observations. As you well know, a king is in a very different position than a gorilla and the same claims are not made ... not to mention some of the others.

"Moore et al. considered at least some of the companies I mentioned to be Gorillas... and some of them are long dead..."

And the same could be said of the companies Tom Peters named in his book "In search of Excellence". Most of these companies failed to adapt to changes in the market place. Compaq comes to mind.
