INNOVATION
M.I.T. says:‘Ιt's important to innovate in areas where the competition is unable or unwilling to act.’
INNOVATION
I would add:‘..involve an entire new “ecosystem" in a way they might find it difficult to replicate’
‘..and if they do.. they will validate your business and boost the market for you.’
