Apple shuns enterprise, huh? http://www.apple.com/business/mobile-enterprise-apps/ http://www.apple.com/business/mobile-enterprise-apps/
I've worked for startups and I've worked for enterprise apps, and at least the enterprise apps I've worked on actually got used by a good number of people. Some of the startup apps I worked on completely failed to find their audience precisely because someone in charge was making it all up as they went along and didn't base anything on what customers actually wanted.
I tried to do the best I could in that situation, and sometimes managed to convince myself that the apps would find their audience, but the artificial specifications can exist equally in both domains.
And the startup arena was the only place where I saw the client/producer completely flip flop on how a feature should be designed multiple times in a single week, based on whatever article they read or dream they had the night before, and then get all pissed why I wasn't already halfway done with their brand new vision they just told me two minutes ago.
It can go both ways. At least the enterprise apps had a mechanism where the users could provide feedback, and had a definite audience and need that needed fulfilled.
