Except that they didn’t buy in when they should have, which allowed smaller companies to get a head start on the tech, the rights, the advertising.

The only thing that will always out-rank corporate intelligence is greed. They seem to like doing awfully stupid things if the profit line in the chart in the boardroom is green and curls upward on the right.

I read somewhere a while back that the main cause of all these seemingly obvious and mind numbingly dumb corporate decisions isn’t as much a problem with companies not knowing the information, but that they collectively changed their goals, projections and outlook to a much shorter time period.

So, yeah, maybe short circuiting your business model will double your profits within 6 months, but after that you eat quadruple in losses. It all depends on the length of time scale at the bottom of the chart.

Suddenly, so many crazy things I have read and experienced in the corporate world seemed to make so much more sense.
