Probably this book can be summarised by: find another place to play and then build a product / business to take advantage of it. It encourages creativity in strategy and gives lots of examples of companies that have moved into new spaces. However the tools for finding these new spaces is a bit sparse. An ok read

I was looking for some new ideas for my business but I lost interest in this book on the first page. it is very hard to read with very elongated sentences that don't get to the point. It is mostly exploring theory that seems to be aimed at academics.
