      "heading": "When experience narrows the comparison",
      "point": "Daniel Levinthal and James March (1993, Strategic Management Journal) analyse forms of myopia that organisational learning can produce."

      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that time should be taken away from proven activities and systematically reserved for something new."
