But a twenty-year nap wouldn’t be necessary to fall behind on the company’s progress. In fact, a three-year cat nap would be long enough to fall out of touch with its rapid evolution. But I get the impression that the recent investment in Körber Supply Chain by KKR is likely to accelerate the company’s expansion.
