Was he a prophet? Did he receive a message in a dream? Did he know something that we didn’t know? No. None of the above. Lance Armstrong made here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe an internal decision to believe and to survive. Then he announced it publicly.

We’re just glad the sun came up this morning. Is that a bird we he easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi ar singing? It suddenly sounds sweeter than we’ve ever heard it before.
