From the Paper:

"There are certain basic needs that individuals must satisfy in life, i.e., food, love, shelter, etc. In order to quench such thirsts, people need to adapt to change, and to recognize the opportunities that will make them stand out from the pack. During the early years of civilization, individuals essentially followed the same path, i.e., basic infrastructures were established for commerce and business was generally conducted in the same manner regardless of the industry. Likewise, the focus of business was more directed towards essential needs rather than luxury items. In summary, businesses were slow to adapt to change and working within the normally accepted route was praised."
