Replying to LO1650 --

Replying to David Birren's comment that "...advantages aren't sustainable
because of the information available in the system":

It is my firm belief that the source of ALL *sustainable* advantage comes
from the organization's unique _culture_. While information about that
culture is generally "available in the system," most managers know so
little about culture they cannot utilize that information.

For additional details, see "Built to Last," by Collins and Porras.
