| Enter the black swan |
At ballet
rehearsal:
Director: Everything is
going smoothly, the four cygnets do their triddle-traddle across the stage,
nice contrast with da-dah! Entrance of you as Odile, the black swan.
Svetlana: Very metaphorical.
Director: The black swan was
already a metaphor for the unexpected event caused by an outlier. Tchaikovsky
put it in his ballet, and Joseph Schumpeter may have been thinking “black swan”
when he proposed “creative destruction.” Nassim Nicholas Taleb extended it to
history, science, finance and technology and then Clayton Christensen called it
by another name, “disruptive innovation” referring mainly to technology.
Svetlana: So the story of
Swan Lake is a metaphor for business?
Director: Not yet, but someone’s
bound to latch onto it.
