Forbes by and large markets to business types, an audience that's going to be looking for the business side of a win.
Shiny suits don't typically want to hear about engineering heroics because anything that involves success without a bunch of MBA's behind it subtly implies that they're irrelevant.
- ryanpers 15y agoI really like this comment. The MBA-ization of corporations is not a thing to be praised. The reason why companies fail is because management is disconnected from the realities of their business and manage it from a spreadsheet point of view. See "Execution: The discipline of getting things done" for a lucid explanation of what execution is, why it matters and why companies succeed and fail. Hint: Companies who have CEOs that know little of how the company actually works are not to be emulated.
