The historical example is about Mercedes Benz Corporation. “This perspective is analogous to early market predictions of the Mercedes Benz Corporation, which limited the number of potential automobile sales to the very low number of trained chauffeurs then available” (Page 21).Before it, many people doubt that the microcomputer could be used to make the prediction. This example explained that people do not think the technology in the old days which may increase their business.
