INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

The phrase pictures a tiger staring wide-eyed at its quarry, intent and persistent, and in the Yi Jing reading this is an auspicious sign because the desire drives the action. Applied to competition, its claim is that the hunter's state, desire sharpened into sustained focus, is the precondition for seizing an opportunity that lasts only a moment, and that a firm without it simply will not move.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Intent detection: read a rival's fixed stare on your key customers as a sign of coming action. - Hunger state: keep your own desire sharp enough to drive pursuit. - Weakness cover: do not leave the opening a staring rival is waiting for.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Desire sustained over time narrows attention to the quarry and lowers the threshold for action, so the opportunity is acted on the moment it appears. The stare is the outward sign that this state has been reached.
