The railroads are in trouble today . . . because they assumed themselves to be in the railroad business rather than in the transportation business. The reason they defined their industry wrong was because they were railroad-oriented instead of transportation-oriented; they were product-oriented instead of customer-oriented.
Theodore Levitt, "Marketing Myopia"
