An ambitious farmer, unhappy about the yield of his crops, heard of a highly recommended new seed corn. He bought some and produced a crop that was so abundant his astonished neighbours asked him to sell them a portion of the new seed. But the farmer, afraid that he would lose a profitable competitive advantage, refused. The second year, the new seed did not produce a good crop; and when the third-year crop was still worse, it dawned on the farmer that his prize corn was being pollinated by the inferior grade of corn from his neighbour’s fields. > Ralph L. Woods.
