Why would you think it’s about synergies? I’m not sure why you would think it’s about synergies. Or why it would be “worthless to try to diversify within the same structure.”

Summarizing the book here would be a bit of a disservice—but one of the points of the book is that there are economic reasons why companies focus on their most profitable core products, and there are economic reasons why that kind of focus can result in the company collapsing when the market moves forward. This isn’t some kind of imperative—the book isn’t saying, ”therefore, you should create a new company.” It’s more descriptive, “this is how big, successful tech companies can suddenly fail.”
