So I mentioned greed is good for context not judgment, but to actually answer your question as to whether I think Competitive Strategy catalyzed anything, I would have to answer "yes", but only based anecdotally on graduating from an Ivy League School in the 80s where all my cohorts went on to jobs on Wall Street at investment banks and that book was secret key to mastery of the universe. But that is only my anecdote not fact, proof, or scientific study.
