As a sidenote: there are a few levels to the tactical manoeuvre I describe.
Be able to quickly use your creativity to reorient whenever constraints change.
Maintain a collection of contingency plans, “If constraint X changes, I’ll be able to play move Y”.
Actually try to foresee which constraints are about to change, and position yourself to take advantage of those (e.g. the tablet manufacturing example above).
Force the constraints to change yourself, in ways that you can take advantage of. For example, Apple often does this, because they are able to given their sheer size. Such as by unilaterally moving to the USB-C standard, or by commoditising their complements.)
