“Welcome to the world according to two curves.
It’s a world in which the present is hard,
but the future is doubly difficult-and the only certainty is change.
Managing in this world is a lot like playing three-dimensional chess
where you’ve got to see both near and far at the same time
as you prepare to move up, down, across, and sideways.” 1)

“Understanding the effects of new technologies,
especially information technologies, is critical for managing on two curves.
You could argue that without the vast and rapid proliferation of information technologies
in the last twenty years, there will be no second curve.
It is in fact the ability of new technologies to fundamentally transform a given industry
that creates the discontinuities that define most second curves.” 2)
