Value vampires render higher cost offerings irrevocably obsolete. Most disturbing is the effect value vampires have on the markets they attack: overall revenue and profit margins are sucked dry, and do not return. The threat of digital disruption in general, and value vampires in particular, forces incumbents to seek new markets continually.
