Why Is The World Run By Bean Counters?
- cesar 15y agoThe article has an interesting point of view, that the management foundations of the corporations were not thought for today's modern age. The article does not go deep into the reasons of why we have bean counters, it just gives you a general overview. The other interesting point is the reference he makes to the values eastern societies have when it comes to management and customer satisfaction.
- glimcat 15y agoThe abuse of survivor bias in this article pisses me off. There are much more valuable lessons to take away from Amazon et al. than "be radical, be new, run the world differently." For starters, the companies he uses as positive examples all spend an enormous amount of their attention on optimizing the user experience. Wouldn't that be more valuable to emulate?
