And if your industry is dying because of technology (like say, Australian media outlets with Google and the internet), then tough. Accept it's probably dead and either downsize, come up with a new business strategy or close down. So many seem to want a dog eat dog system when they're winning, but beg for mercy when it goes wrong.
