Is the answer to success simply buying out your competitors nowdays ?

What happened to just being better....

1) always been like that

2) never existed

 

even in a perfectly competitive market... the only way on the long run to make a positive total profit is either to create a new market with a new product or differenciate a old one from the competitors.... or buy out the competition....

doing better products never warranted making more profit... actually it's probably the opposite as to make a better product you usually increase your total cost

1) No it hasn't always been like that. 2) It does exist. I completley disagree with your statement . Creating a better product can actualy be ahcieved through innovation , intelligence and good management. You can't solve every problem by simply throwing money at it. If Microsoft's products and services trurly exceeded Yahoo then the need to buy them out wouldn't be there. it is

1) Is Anti-Consumerist 2) Shows a lack of ability 3) Degrades the quality of the products on the market and their potential for improvment.
