Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question discusses whether an acquisition strategy (specifically Google's acquisition of Wiz) could overcome certain barriers to entry in AI and cloud computing, and asks which option is NOT a barrier.
Option 1: 'All of the barriers provided could be overcome using an acquisition strategy' is the correct choice in this context because if an acquisition can overcome every listed barrier, then there is effectively no barrier left that would hinder entry—hence this option represents the 'not a barrier' scenario the question is seeking.
Option 2: 'Cost of new product development' identifies a barrier that could be mitigated by acquisition, since acquiring Wiz provides existing technology and capabilities rather than funding a new development from scratch. However, the statement itself points to a barrier that could be overcome, which means it is a valid barrier that could be surmounted, but it is not the universal 'not a barrier' claim the question seeks.
Option 3: 'Developing &/or learning new capabilities' highlights a capability-building barrier. An acquisition can reduce or shortcut this barrier by bringing in demonstrated expertise and tech, but again this remains a specific barrier that could be overcome rather than the broad all-encompassing not-a-barrier claim.
Option 4: 'Increased speed to market' points to the barrier of time-to-market delays. An acquisition can accelerate speed to market by leveraging the acquired company’s existing products, teams, and processes. While true that this barrier can be reduced, the statement still represents a barrier that could be overcome, not the overarching not-a-barrier assertion.
In summary, the acquisition approach is portrayed as a mechanism to address multiple distinct barriers; option 1 asserts that ALL barriers can be overcome, which makes it the not-a-barrier claim among the choices. The remaining options each name a specific barrier and explain how an acquisition could mitigate it, but they do not capture the idea that every barrier is overcome, which is why they are not the correct choice for this question.
