More than 50% of all knock offs origin from China, and this dragon ain't slowing down. Confucius said: <i>"Copy your master, and excel him."</i> Yet those who understand R&D as "<b>R</b>ip off and <b>D</b>uplicate" will have to operate under high cost pressure, and against strong competition. Feasible in low wage countries, but deadly for Europe. Only those will remain successful, who:</p><ul><li>Create new markets</li><li>Elate their customers, rather than just satisfying them</li><li>Develop faster than others can copy</li><li>Compete on ideas, rather than on price</li></ul><p>To succeed in the 21st century you have to be a visionary supermind. Someone who constantly invents and reaches new dimensions. Following this strategy will make it almost impossible for product piracy.
