Corporate culture clashes: What does rocky P&G/Gillette merger teach?
- bprager 13y agoNot a win for the consumer: these double and triple shaving blades are more expensive than ever.
- mathattack 13y agoHaven't they made it to the 5 razor yet? I don't think Warren Buffett was bragging about success for the consumer at the expense of the owner. :-)
- mathattack 13y agoPerhaps it's just being nit picky, but I think the author misread the original WSJ [1] article that he quotes. In the OP: Gillette, for example, had a “memo culture”; P&G’s “Proctoids” favored face-to-face meetings. In the WSJ article: Then there were culture clashes: Oral-B favored meetings while Crest liked memos Oral-B is Gilette, Crest is P&G. It makes me wonder about his conclusions. They seem logical enough.
