Key points in this volumeA company's profits depend not just on how advanced its technology is, but on how hard it is for customers to switch suppliers.

No table where segment sales differ from the disclosed total by more than 1%. Adjustments, corporate, eliminations and “other” left out of the table and the share denominator, as they are not businesses
  • Breakdowns of amounts, not diagrams of how the business works. Who pays whom, and for what, is not in the disclosed figures; no lines drawn from guesswork
  • No reproduction of the book’s content. Figures from the same filings; text written separately
