“Our long-term goal is to enter and take control of a mainstream market (Eisenhower’s Europe)”
“that is currently dominated by an entrenched competitor (the Axis).”
“We must assemble an invasion force comprising other products and companies (the Allies).”
“Our immediate goal is to transition from an early market base (England)”
“to a strategic target market segment in the mainstream (the beaches at Normandy).”
“Separating us from our goal is the chasm (the English Channel).”
“We are going to cross that chasm as fast as we can [and focus] directly and exclusively on the point of attack
(D Day).”
“Once we force the competitor out of our targeted niche markets (secure the beachhead),”
“then we will move out to take over additional market segments (districts of France),”
“on the way toward overall market domination (the liberation of Europe).”
