Unimaginative, unambitious and unethical are just some of the words used by critics to describe this approach. However, I believe that these “copycats” can create a huge amount of value and often transform the markets in which they operate. This is because it is not just the idea, but the execution of that idea, that creates a unique proposition and often redefines how a problem is solved.
