	title of this thread your message A cynical, self-interested, strategically minded CEO, if given the choice between low cost, high volume, high bling, sell it quick product vs. high cost, low volume, sell it slow without bling product will always choose to produce the former. Why? Because it is always better to get more money sooner rather than less, or even more later. But if the same cynical, self-interested, strategically minded CEO were given a choice between a mid cost, mid volume, high bling, sell it fairly quick, and keep your customers product vs. low cost, high volume, high bling, sell it quick, and create customers for your competitors product, I suspect that their CYA instincts and tolerable spike to stock options from the former option would overwhelm their willingness to build crap, sell stock options quickly and fight law suits for the next ten years. Never underestimate the power of appeal of the middle path. But are there enough talented designer/engineers capable of providing substance AND bling for a middle path? I suspect so, but I cannot say so categorically. You folks would be the ones to listen to on that point. Making this shift to substance and bling may be difficult in USA until the dollar is replaced by the Amero and revalued by the central bankers. A bad by-product of currency devaluation and stagflation contrived by the central bankers is that it makes all but the largest margin and/or most monopolistic businesses in USA borderline unfeasible for the time being. During periods like this product experimentation often slows and new ideas accumulate in the file, until central bankers decide they have retaken enough control of the economy (bought up enough cheaply enough and marginalized enough who would not have played ball without such stern measures) to revalue and resume growth. But other regions of the global economy may be quite ripe for this paradigm shift in products, precisely because of the central bankers stern measures (and the appear to know this). associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
