I will give you all a quote from Megatrends on the "Law of the Situation: the railroads did not understand."
Suppose that somewhere along the way a railroad company, sensing the changes in its business environment, had engaged in the process of reconceptualing what business it was in. Suppose they had said, "Let´s get out of the railroad business and into the transportation business." They could have created systems that moved goods by rail, truck, airplane, or in combination, as appopriate. "Moves goods" is the customer-oriented point. Instead, they continued transfixed by the lore of railroading that have served the country so well - until the world change.
Of this phenomenon Walter B. Wriston, chairman of Citycorp, in 1981 said: "The philosophy of the divine right of kings died hundreds of years ago, but not, it seems, the divine right of inherited markets. Some people still believe there´s a divine dispensation that their markets are theirs - and no one else´s - now and forevermore. It is an old dream that dies hard, yet no businessman in a free society can control a market when the customers decide to go somewhere else. All the king´s horses and all the king´s man are helpless in the face of a better product. Our commercial history is filled with examples of companies that failed to change in a changing world, and became tombstones in the corporate graveyard
Con mi trabajo de la electricidad sin control de precios, ya divulgada como un cambio de paradigma, la situación es propicia para averiguar si el negocio de venderle electricidad al gobierno es sustentable. Yo creo que el negocio es más amplio y rico con la nueva definición que muy humildemente he realizado - reducir la destrucción de valor de la empresa con los pagones, al tiempo que recuperamos nuestra inversión con creces.
La visión de introducir un detallista que transforme el mercado eléctrico en uno común y corriente al 1 de enero del 2008 es tan poderosa como la de Kennedy de llevar un hombre a la luna.Preguntensé ¿en cual negocio le gustaría estar? uno que vaya en contra de la corriente para perpetuar la Segunda Ola, o uno que vaya a favor.
