"When most companies of a previously regulated economy are suddenly thrust into a competitive environment, the changes multiply. [...] This is the greatest strategic inflection point of all. When such fundamental changes hit a whole economy simultaneously, their impact is cataclysmic. They affect an entire country's political system, its social norms and its way of life. This is what we see in the former Soviet Union and, in a more controlled fashion, in China."
