This was actually a case study from when Clarke was an MBA intern at Google.

  I'm pretty sure the sci fi write Clarker was never an MBA intern at Google, He'd have been 73 in 2000. Plus he was a scientist, now a biz person.

    Maybe.

      I meant "not a biz person", instead of 'now a biz person', but I can't edit the original posting.

    I'm sure GP was joking. >because of its own organizational flaws and its willingness to discard old technology without having fully perfected the new.

According to the Wikipedia article, it was required reading for a specific course, no?
