   For sure.  But would this experiment really be a success if it required
changing our purposes, fundamental values, and every key element and
characteristic--everything but the name plate--beyond all recognition?

  It seems to me that we should not be jumping onto some business model 
because it seems to be successful.  Rather, we should inquire into what it
takes to make _our_ model successful.  Other examples can be illustrative,
but each case is different, has different factors, and it can take a bit
of careful study to tease out just what the correct lesson is.  And as
successful organizations often have no idea what makes them successful, it
is necessary to also study unsuccessful organizations.
