As an economics geek, I figured Porter had to discuss my favorite principle, opportunity cost, somewhere early in the book.   The cost of taking any action or embracing any path consists of the alternatives that were available to us at the time.” How do you assess and factor in the opportunity costs of the decisions you make?
