When Warren Buffet chooses a stock to invest in, he's not simply predicting the future necessity of a product. In every business he has ever invested in, there has always been fierce competition from other companies and management is typically what distinguishes each company. Warren Buffet relies as much on research of a company's product as he does the quality of management.

When it comes to competitive fields and betting on the longevity of a company to weather inevitable storms, the success or failure of the company rides solely on the shoulders of management and their leadership ability.
