Business is Business1. A business is not defined by the products it sells but by the
benefits customers pay for.
2. Directors of a business aren’t the only people who define what business they are in – changes in consumer behaviour, competitors, new entrants, substitution, and innovation all have a say.
3. If we are not clear about what business we are in we will miss opportunities, misunderstand competitive threats and use resources in ways that do not create value.

What Business Are We In ?
A waste of time.“What Business Are We In” is business school nonsense
The presentation was interesting up to
a point but notthat important.
A fair question. We’ve a reasonable understanding but need to refine it.
A good question. Timely because
we’ve probably lost sight of the answer.
My initial answer was good.
No need to makeany changes.
My initial answer needs a tweak.
My initial answer needs serious
revision.I now feel
very unsettled.
