I'm probably mutilating this quote, but according to Steve Jobs "Apple only has one bottom line" Samsung thinks it has many bottom lines, and I've worked in companies where individual departments are all working to many mutually exclusive goals and they all treat their own individual budgets and success as the most important bottom line in the organisation. I'd hazard a guess that Apple's ability and willingness to harmonise it's entire operation starts with that one very simple statement of fact. A company only has one bottom line.
