Fundamental Principles
There are five fundamental principles involved:
- Always counter an attack with equal or greater force.
- Defend every important market.
- Be forever vigilant in scanning for potential attackers. Assess the strength of the competitor. Consider the amount of support that the attacker might muster from allies.
- The best defense is to attack yourself. Attack your weak spots and rebuild yourself anew.
- Defensive strategies should be the exclusive domain of the market leader.

Famous quotes containing the words fundamental and/or principles:
“No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt’s and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
