I think the automobile industry industry shows just how mono-culture many industries can become. Every car maker, despite claiming to be different, has pursued the same business model of minimal vertical integration, focusing instead upon supplier management and outsourcing. Exposing both the fact of this mono-culture and it’s inherent vulnerability to large market shifts is Tesla. Tesla has rejected this culture and via fresh thoughts and vertical integration has put the rest of the auto industry on their heels.
