English term or phrase: slow drudging layer
There was a really interest interview with Michael Eisner, the Chairman of Walt Disney. Hewas asked who he thought his biggest competitors were and what worried him. He gave a very in-teresting answer, a dual answer. The first one was he said Microsoft was one of his biggest competitors, because they own distribution, and that's what he was most worried about. His second biggest competitor was some as-yet-unknown, theoretical upstart in Des Moines, Iowa, because they can be fast, furious, innovative, and they aren't shackled with all the slow drudging layers that big corpora-tions are. An interesting contrast, and very telling.
