This is my first completed book from the online national library. There are pros and cons to reading on a tablet as compared to a printed book. It's easy to bring a tablet anywhere and just start reading it. But it feels different from reading on a paper-printed background. It took me 5 days to complete it - while waiting and during my daily morning commute.
The title is something which I strongly agree with. In this fast-changing modern economy, only those who are constantly evolving, on the look out for changes - befitting of a paranoia character will survive.
The book is mainly on how Intel evolve over the decades to be a leader in microprocessor business. The main concept it convey is the 'Strategic Inflection Point' which we need to keep a lookout for. It mentioned about the 6 different forces that will affect business and the 10X force which is something will change the playing field altogether.
The computer industry is used to illustrate the strategic inflection point - on how it evolve from a vertically integrated industry to more horizontally integrated.
At the end of the book, it brings the topic closer to us by mentioning that 'Your career is your business'. We have to keep a lookout for strategic inflection point ourselves.
