: However, eventually he sets up a factory with a taylorist production line and authoritarian management and sells the produce for more than it's worth to John Doe, unfortunate but true,Actually he has his factory over in the UK somewhere and by all accounts is very open and non-Taylorist in his company culture, no executive washrooms and all that stuff.

: that said I liked the way Dyson scared Hoover shitless with the competition.
Why? Will you like Dyson if he becomes the wold Nr 1 or will the 'big is bad' myth come into play then? Dyson is not the underdog to root while small and slam when big (that a strange British cultural thing, I understand)
: While we're on that point, point of sale (PR joke), the market doesnt equal the best goods otherwise we'd not have VHS recorders in our homes, they are inferior to the other variety that emerged at the same time are now only operate in TV stations.
Yes, both Betamax and Philips VH2000 were technically better. However they were not as easy to produce nor as cheap. If a Lexus is better than a compact shouldn't we all be driving them? Horses for courses and all that Lark.

None.
