Phenotype

"...ranchising, geographic expansion, M&A, spin-offs - these are all reproduction strategies. You'll learn why most expansions fail: they try to transfer phenotype (surface behaviors), not genotype (core DNA). You'll learn how to design for successful replication. Book 7: Competition & Cooperation How organ..."

"..., light, nutrients, chemicals, stress - affect which transcription factors are active. This changes which genes get expressed. Same genome, different phenotype. Phenotypic plasticity is incredibly common because it solves a fundamental problem: environments change faster than genomes."

"...usually doesn't. Because here's the counter-intuitive truth biology teaches: you can't inherit acquired characteristics. Your success in Market A is phenotype - the expression of your organizational DNA in specific conditions. Your DNA is the small set of core principles, processes, and capabilities that ma..."

"...ach product category replicated HUL's core DNA - supply chain efficiency, brand building, retail distribution, regulatory compliance - while adapting phenotype to local conditions. Differential survival: HUL's revenue grew from ₹10 billion (1995) to ₹619 billion (2024)."

"Transduction amplifies them. Negative feedback stabilizes. Positive feedback transitions. - Reproduction → Scaling: Genotype replicates. Phenotype adapts. Asexual reproduction is fast but rigid. Sexual reproduction recombines. Horizontal transfer borrows. - Symbiosis → Partnerships: Mutualis..."
