Good post.

In a nutshell, the difference between being defensive and offensive.

Once a company, like NOK, goes into defensive mode, trying to derail others instead of adapting and innovating, its goose is cooked. I know this sounds vaporous, but I don't have the time to fully explain myself in the same terrific way you did. Suffice it to say that what NOK is doing is a symptom, not actions intended to promote what it does and how it does it.

Well said, your long version and C2's short version.

Either way it reiterates my stance for the past 10 years....Innovate, innovate, innovate through R&D, R&D, R&D...

Hack through the jungle first.

Hadn't thought of or heard about the horizontal/vertical corporate approach (if that is what it's called?) before. Can see how a horizontal approach would be very unsettling for a vertically structured business.

Did NOK ever hear this one?

What goes up, must come down?

Thanks!
