probably getting shorter as the cycle of change accelerates. Companies  
that once wielded a seemingly unshakeable hold over their industries—

following the lead of more nimble players such as Toyota (TM), Apple  
(APPL), and Google (GOOG). "There's no standing still," notes veteran  
strategy guru Gary Hamel. "Influence is like water, always flowing  
somewhere."
