What is NOT a competitive advantage

Idea sex is the fancy word for creativity
Nothing appears out of the blur. Scientists often say that they stand on the shoulders of Giants. What that means is that we do not perform the basic research every-time we want to light a fire. We do not reinvent the wheel every time we use the bike.
