Social Darwinism• “Only the strong survive”• “Survival of the fittest”
• Businesses and companies that are strong and powerful will continue on to be successful.
• Companies that cannot keep up with modern technology, innovation, production or competition will “die off”.
"The law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, [but] it is best for the race, because it insures
the survival of the fittest in every department.“
-Andrew Carnigie
