Re: Tom Peters...who is...(was Tipton etc..)

Booth,

Obviously, Mr. Peters is not of this Earth.

Product quality doesn't have squat to do with market share.

My personal bible is a book written by J. W. Forrester "The Principle of
Systems".  The basic fundamental in a closed loop system of "capacity
planning" is advertising.

Nowhere in the equation of sales volume or plant requirement does
"excellence" come into play.

The market has plenty of lessons to demonstrate the "nothingness' of
technical superiority: BETAMAX, Visicalc, Word Perfect, Foxpro, OS/2,
OS/400, and many more.

The technogeek in me bleeds for ya, but the capitalist in me just has to
say: "bzzzz, WRONG".
