From what (little) I know, Porter's generally considered to be the expert on Strategy. What did you find disgusting about the book?

I guess we are coming from different worldviews. These were IIRC collectively referred to as "retaliation" by the incumbent firm and none of them sat very well with me as conducive to innovation.

- lobby for regulation

- poach from the challenger

- tank prices in the one area the challenger has traction

I believe Porter also mentioned trying to secure vendor lock-in.

Not familiar with Porter, but being an expert doesn't necessarily make you ethically untouchable. Warren Buffett for example is well known for investing in companies with aggressively anti-competitive behaviours.
