My final comment (I hope)

MBA's and Unions; Neither were necessary before the Industrial
Revolution!!

That was when both came into being. Owners developed Company Towns to
make life easier for their employees and themselves. This turned out to
be a double edge sword.

Some were good and many became abusive. These that were abusive gave
rise to workers forming unions.

MBA were created to teach the proper treatment of successful practises
of handling ALL the parts of the business.

Those businesses without labor problems were studied as well as
partnerships, including money raising by stock sales

Good Management is still an Art, in my opinion, and not a Science as
many think so with MBA's. It is a dynamic system to deal with dynamic
problems. People problems on both sides are seldom the same. What is
humane to one is abuse to another

AND: "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!"

****,

I have to answer Dave's post.

Dave, Your story just about answers my opinion in the affirmative.

I would with out a doubt want your brother-in-law. They looked after the
product First. The product that the market wanted. Rather like Henry
Ford or Hersey. If you go back and read my post, I said; "Looked after
Both"

That is what your brother-in-law has done. By looking at the market AND
his product he made a lot of money. He/they were looking to sell Stock.
They were looking to sell product.

Thank you for the story. A very good example of what I was saying.

:^) As a lawyer, I thought you were taught to not ask a question if you
weren't sure of the answer (G)

Yeah Joe,

If it was made in England it should be removed. The surface properly
prepare and sprayed with Ducco Enamel.

By the way, are you only going to paint ONE mast? Which one, the Main or
the mizzen?

Dave.

Rational manner; Economic force; they sure sound like tags to me.
Sounds and awful lot like trying to explain something away without using
real values or truly known accepted practises.

Look to thyself before casting blame!
