Corporate Darwinism

My belief is that the strongest corporations are those that provide the best value to their customers. In my POV (business background), there are three key things to consider when you evaluate your proposition for a new business, if your venture is technology-driven:

(watch video to see how it's done!)
1) Take advantage of what's out there and learn from other people's mistakes - This is more a matter of harnessing the ideology of opensource (from an organization standpoint to a software engineering standpoint).

2) Continuously re-assess your customer's needs and continuously evolve your business model around meeting those needs (ie: your business slogan could be, "how can I better meet those needs and future needs)

3) Do not get discouraged because your business model seems rebellious.
