Dominic Orr, CEO of Aruba Networks, describes how a startup can
compete with large, established companies. Orr argues that to
compete with large companies an entrepreneurial firm must think
about the ecosystem created by the larger companies and then
identify the problems in that system that the larger companies
are unable to address. Once an opportunity has been identified,
a startup's single advantage is speed: because established firms
have different incentives that lead to inertia, large firms are
often unable to match the speed and flexibility of a startup.
