Ries also shows companies how to focus. He advises that in order to focus, it may necessarily involve sacrifice - giving up some portion of the market, some versions of the product, or some distribution channel. Although such strategies strike many managers as illogical or counter-intuitive, Ries marshals an overwhelming number of examples to prove his case. As long as competition exists, Ries notes, it is impossible to win 100% of any market. From debunking The Quality Axiom to detailing the importance of perception, from describing the five strategies for coping with change to showing how a company can "own" a word in the customer's mind, Al Ries brings his extensive marketing expertise to bear on the problem of competition and the importance of focus.
　　Today's rapidly changing, technology-driven marketplace mandates constant quick thinking and reassessment by managers throughout the corporation. This book lays out the smart way for your company to evolve, increase market share, and enhance shareholder value without sacrificing the key assets you'll need in the long term. Focus is the key to getting your company back on track.
