But my starting point had been advertising, to which this does not really apply. Compare the reactions of Company A replicating Company B’s business model\/idea versus them being ‘inspired’ by their advertising. In the case of advertising, both agencies might get paid and both clients might benefit. But in the case of a business, the second player could benefit from the mistakes (strategy\/execution) of the pioneer and build a more successful business. That would be really unfair to the first guy whose business idea might have been a really creative solution to some need. And yet, it’s more likely that the aping of ads would spark a larger debate and the business cloning would be ignored. Am I missing something? Any perspectives you want to share?<\/p>\n until next time, game of clones<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (via Threadless) A conversation in office on an unrelated topic led me to ask this question on Twitter.
