Why companies fall behind

  • Inability to see shifts in the marketplace
  • Unwillingness to confront competitive initiatives that have “germs” of ideas that can be adopted
  • Desire to protect today’s market definition and market share and not attack boundaries that provide expansion
  • Increasing complexity costs, resulting in inflexibility and slow decision making
  • Tendency toward internal conflict and organizational stratification
  • Leadership that emphasizes capital investments as a solution to all problems
  • Centralized control with limited coordination among divisions
