Indeed, this book is significant for me, since LG is globally adopting this strategy to sustain and enhance its leadership position. Therefore, I find myself applying the theories listed in this book in my day-to-day life, and have come to fully appreciate the strategies outlined by the authors.
 
The book is based on the mantra of "how to create uncontested market space and make competition irrelevant". It persuades the business fraternity to rise above cut-throat competition and clutter to a higher level of innovation, by creating and developing new markets for sustaining long-term growth.
 
This thought-provoking book has definitely shown me the direction a professional needs to go for long-term sustainable success.
