When Growth Weakens Competitive Advantage
Can a company continue to grow without weakening the competitive advantage that made it successful?
Growth creates value only when the capabilities behind competitive advantage can scale with it. When demand expands faster than those capabilities, growth can weaken quality, customer experience, differentiation or control.

From the Founder
FU Research began with a simple question: why do some businesses preserve their competitive advantage while others weaken it through growth? I created this platform to study those choices through evidence and turn the findings into practical strategy.
