56: Strategic Disadvantages: A discussion with James Allworth

James Allworth, Harvard Business School Forum for Growth and Innovation fellow and co-author of How Will You Measure Your Life joins Horace for an in-depth discussion of the vulnerability of Apple to low-end disruption.

We dip into case studies of Dell, HP, HTC and Microsoft and touch on how iPod escaped this fate.
