Watched an interesting docu on Netflix last night. It's probably a great way to communicate how the most successful enterprises can tank because of a few bad moves and an acceptance of mediocrity.
If you are old enough.....or nerd enough..... you know about Atari Pong and Space invaders.
Atari was a billion dollar industry in 1980s money. They were the first home video game. They created an industry out of nothingness. They are likely responsible for the computer culture.
They skyrocketed to the top and then inexplicably disapeared. Everyone blames the poor design of their ET game with Spielberg for the company's collpse.
However, a real accounting shows a company that started putting out game after game that was sub par.
The collapse was so swift and complete that it left everyone wondering how a company like it could just stop existing.
The admin of Atari is interviewed and they recount how a couple of miscalculations and bad decisions tanked the company.
Success is fragile. I fear that this is something that our admin doesn't understand. You can tank a once dominant program. Just look at SMU and Pitt.
