- gaius 17y agoDotcom startups, no. But in general high tech, just one example, Airbus gives Boeing a run for its money. And those Boeings BTW are designed with CATIA, French CAD software. And Boeing runs its business on SAP, German ERP software.
- rjurney 17y agoAirbus had massive state support - hardly an even playing field. They're an example of what a good state-private collaboration can do, not of productivity of the private sector in general.
- gaius 17y agoAs does Boeing, except it's funneled via the DoD. Anyway, that's not the point. Can European engineers bring equivalent products to market as quickly as American engineers, despite taking vacations and being in the office fewer hours? Absolutely yes, it happens all the time.
- rjurney 17y agoYeah, don't buy it. Not at startups.
