"Google is in reaction mode at the moment. However, it has proven to be the best fast-follower of technology trends in recent memory. It’s time to see if the company can still live up to that track record or if it will become the next high-profile victim of the innovator’s dilemma." I'd respectfully argue Apple, at least in terms of which company has been most successful as a "fast-follower" e.g., Apple I & II, Mac, iPod, & especially the iPhone to name a few. Of course, one could also make the case for Microsoft and Windows!
