Folhas na corrente (parte VI)

Os PIN's, as Qimonda's, as Rhode's, as multinacionais, pertencem a um mundo que foi estilhaçado:
.
"The proliferation of successful small companies dramatizes how the security of majority market share - seized by a large corporation and held unchallenged for decades - is now a dangerous anachronism."
...
"Most large markets evolve from niche markets. That's because niche marketing teaches many important lessons about customers - in particular, to think of customers as individuals and to respond to their special needs. Niche marketing depends on word-of-mouth references and infrastructure development, a broadening of people in related industries whose opinions are crucial to the product's success." (Moi ici: olhar para os clientes-alvo como clientes concretos, olhar na menina-do-olho deles directamente, não como tratá-los como miudagem, ou abstracções estatísticas)
...
"Customer focus derived from niche marketing helps companies respond faster to demand changes. That is the meaning of today's most critical requirement - that companies become market driven."
...
"Competition from small companies in fractured markets has even produced dramatic changes in how companies define their products. The product is no longer just the thing itself; it includes service..."
.
As multinacionais são como os Golias que, perante uma nova realidade exterior, são impotentes para fazer face aos Davids... pequenos, rápidos, flexíveis.
.
Al-Qaeda, Hezbolah, Hamas, versus exércitos regulares... exércitos com tácticas escritas em livros e que confiam em... ministros. Ahahah
