That is very well said HB and I think captures what folks have been saying for a long time. Fix the blame, don't fix the problem seems the order of the day--to the extent of finding completely unrelated fall guys or gals to punish in order to 'do something about it'. Power and position takes precedence over profit. To the extent of totally alienating a talented and extremely motivated work force (many of whom have pretty impressive resumes and would love to help out but have been so demoralized they are just marking time and squirreling away cash). It's better to pound the table and be right and lose money than admit you're wrong, fix things, and make money.
Took awhile for the loss of the protected market to kick in, but it's kicked in.
Perhaps it would be useful if someone were to carefully explain to the powers that be that "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" was a musical play and work of fiction, and not a successful blueprint to run a multi billion dollar corporation.
As far as stw, the propaganda is old and has eliminated any shadow of credibility.
