Business Strategy And Board Game Design: How to be Different!

I remember in my capstone business class we read an article by a M.E. Porter, a Harvard professor, about business strategy. The article was amazing and he tears down the idea that strategy is what you do to eliminate the competition. He talks about how being efficient and cheap aren't business strategies and that having a business that does business different than competitors is true business strategy. Ikea is given as an example of good business strategy.

Blurred lines (No this has nothing to do with Miley) :P

Recently I read up on someone's post about his game and someone mentioned how war games are techinically off topic at BGDF. This caused me to reflect a bit on what a wargame really is. There are games that are obviously wargames, like ASL and such games. There are other games that are obviously not a wargame, like Ticket To Ride. Then there are games that blur the lines between what is a wargame, and what is a german/euro game, miniatures, etc. An example of this is "A Few Acres of Snow," that has many seemingly Euro mechanics, but it is about war and conquest.
