But if it worked for Patagonia, that operates in a pretty old industry, shouldn't there be at least a number of take aways that would apply to many or most industries?
I've not read the book yet, so it's not a rhetorical question. Living in the Pacific Northwest Patagonia and their company story and ethos are known to just about everyone who's ventured into the outdoors.
- ghaff 11y agoI'm not sure how relevant lesson from Patagonia are to a more mass market retailer. I like my Patagonia gear. I also bought most of it at outlets where it's merely expensive. It's certainly a high-end retailer. Making similar tradeoffs at a Sears or, as was recently the case, JC Penney's don't necessarily work.
