David, could you please write an article that explains the logic and math behind the S-Curve theory. Origins, background, assumptions, criticisms etc.

It would be interesting to understand and discuss the theory behind the 65% market share rule.

TRB: don't expect to see me write that article, it's just way too 'aviation industry' for AusBT. This is something you will more likely see on CAPA or some aviation/analysis blogs.

TRB - did u also just read the article by Adele Ferguson in the smh?

Sounds like something made up by a management consultant.

The last article on this page might be helpful, "Does the S-Curve still exist?".

I'm pretty sure the 65% market share 'line in the sand' was derived from a number pulled out of the air during an executive 'strategy session' (i.e. at the pub).

Hi Guest, join in the discussion on David, could you please write an article that explains the logic and math behind the S-Curve theory.
