Waterfall, or even the German Army's V-Model are tailored to ensure that a pre-set goal is executed with as less variation as possible. Good for building missile launchers but maybe not perfectly suited for new, untried ideas and business models. yes, definitely the concepts can be applied to all sorts of management challenges where it is important to be able to adapt fast.

A lot of SCRUM concepts can be applied to non-development parts of the organization (E.g. to marketing). And the product backlog concept might be an ideal strategy "tool" for companies in fast-moving markets. As you never really know how the outside world will look the day after tomorrow you should be really flexible and fast in re-ordering your goals and roadmaps - not only in development.
