"The message of the article is essentially that "the current market economy places a premium on innovation, new business models and new ways of organizing work." It's not the first time we've seen the phrase "adapt or die" in an article - such as this item by Don Tapscott a few days ago - and thus far the choice hasn't been that stark, not even for music or news companies.
