How Bureaucracies Die
Now, the strictly financial/economic side of corporate destruction comes in all kinds of ways, from technological obsolesce to political risk to making one bet-it-all move too many. The article HTC will no longer give guidance for the future it doesn’t … Continue reading

The Secret of the Megacorps
From The Economist: A POPULAR parlour game among historians is debating when the modern world began. Was it when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, in 1440? Or when Christopher Columbus discovered America, in 1492? Or when Martin Luther published … Continue reading
