The document discusses different timing tactics in strategic management, specifically first mover and last mover strategies. First movers, also called pioneers, are the first businesses to enter a new market with a product or service and can gain advantages like brand loyalty and control of resources. However, first movers also bear high costs and risks of developing a new market. Last movers, also called late followers, take a wait-and-see approach, learning from first movers' mistakes before entering with improved offerings. While last movers have lower risks, they may struggle to gain market share. The document analyzes companies like Coca-Cola and Apple that have successfully used first mover and reinventing strategies over time.
