  • Ah, a model where only the top player in (the) market (as a concept) gets the effect, that’s surprisingly interesting. One would think that the non-linear effect would affirm specialization in a particular domain because the points of contact would be far apart, but a strategy could be established to create a niche by multiplying multiple domains to make it easier to get to the top. Interesting.Multi-domain niche-top strategy

    • nishio> The preliminary stage was a flatter image. My first image of an example where only the market leader could get utility was a professional chess player or a professional gamer.
    • tokoroten> I think it’s personal salary based, the vertical axis. On a corporate value basis, I think the front end would be much flatter. Because the strength of a company is that it can multiply more multiple domains than an individual.
    • nishio> Ah, I see, the first part becomes fat tail due to the effect of minimum wage or the effect of increased recruitment and training costs if it is too low and they get away with it.
  • Search strategy in the presence of competitors
