Nothing new, just trying to capture industries/value.
Who cares about shifting paradigms / something brand new? Not every business has to change the world. Most shouldn't.
The whole point of a business is to capture value full stop. Not to play around with lofty surreal visions of grandeur.
That is certainly one school of thought. But businesses that are about something more than just "capturing value "are more likely to actually become valuable. Creating value is almost always better than just capturing value.
I interpreted "capturing value" as meaning "capturing potential value" i.e. some untapped resource, or in other words generating value.
So it sounds like we're talking about the same thing then just in different ways.
Yes, when I've heard businesspeople say "capturing value", they've meant it in a manner analogous to extracting a natural resource. The value is already there, and they want to capitalize on it. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
But I think it's better to create value where none existed before.
