15、lue)Simply increasing the speed of production，for example，may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value over time，in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study，higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when nec

29、olution.Although many attribute Kodaks downfall to “complacency ,” that explanation doesnt acknowledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak predicted that digital photography would overtake film and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 but
