> While I understood the idea, that you would pit your own resources against each other like that was kind of foreign to me. My own personal learning from that, having watched them for 15 years, four of which from the inside, is that as a way of managing a company it produces few viable products and no viable businesses. Interesting you say this as the first example that I can think of is Apple themselves when Steve Jobs was forced out of the Apple Lisa team and he joined the Macintosh team which then became in direct competition with the Apple Lisa team. I don't need to expunge on that but i found it to be a very famous case study on how 2 internal teams in direct competition affected the company.
