- cle 5y agoThere are lots of reasons smaller companies can follow up a behemoth and beat them, such as better timing / market conditions, less dysfunctional organizations, etc.
- judge2020 5y agoI fail to see how Google is dysfunctional, other than their culture of leaking stuff months in advanced.
- cle 5y agoEvery organization is dysfunctional to some degree, a smaller company that is less dysfunctional in the right way can easily beat behemoths. I'm not making any sort of claim about Google's degree of dysfunction.
- KingMachiavelli 5y agoThe extra cost and larger size of a Ara type phone may just make the product too niche for a company the size of Google to bother. Companies like frame.work, System 76, etc. show that smaller companies can successfully market more niche products.
