1 year agoMr Pietersen and Mr Rumlet should getogether and write a masterclass on strategy. Then make it available to MBA students as a text book. One thing interesting though, in an VUCA market where public perception (which includes buying behaviours) gets constantly influenced by external perception, is there a place for business "models"? Hence my suggestion to write a master class and keep updating with evolutionary (more agile) business models. Regards Kutila Pinto
