Some companies survived without quickly adapting to Internet. It's obvious looking backwards and understand why these companies survived.
- Heavily capital intensive to start a new company (Retail banks, shipping, flights,...)
- Service needs an actual human being to be present.(e.g doctors, haircut, restaurants,..)
- The quality of service cannot be ascertained by just looking at a picture (or) where quality differentiation is high among similar items. (E.g. Not all tomatoes are same. People want to look at an actual tomato before buying. However all SONY DCR-360s are the same)
