I don't have a military background but i know that in private industry the terms can be used that way ( probably because civilians really don't know, etc.). To me at least ( no military, etc.), I see some similarities in cornerstones and beachheads. Either way it's a place of presence. As for getting beyond that point, it's all execution and more planning eight.

A cornerstone i plies to me at least that there is a belief that something can be leveraged in the future. Since no details are given, it remains to be seen what he is really referring to.

I have to tell you that having experience in private industry ( big corps, etc.), corporations screw each other over all the time; it can be pretty competitive and cut throat.

For example, the agreement with VPC, that allowed for using Engel, etc., doesn't seem unusual at all in terms of how a company might position themselves and their future.

Maybe VPC should have recognized the implications of it from the beginning.

Also, if LQMT agreed to margins they can't live with, that would be short sighted on their part also.

I guess I don't really see the arbitration as that big of a deal in terms how it can do , e.g. How it can go.

To give an example, Motorola used have a relatively large budget for suing, etc. And it was considered cost of doing business.

For small businesses it's probably pretty bad. For big ones or officers coming from large organizations, it could be considered a tactic.

I didn't make this stuff up ( don't shoot the messenger).
