I Hate MBAs/Redux - By Tom Peters
Name: Email:

P & G buys Gillette. $57 billion.

I only have one, small question?

WHAT'S THE POINT?

No "economies of scale" for companies that size.

Synergy?

Batteries and toilet paper?

So I guess the answer is obvious.

What's the point?

Because they can!

Silly boys!

Ah, if only their energy could have been directed to "insanely great" products, to steal a phrase from that boring "cool products" guy, Steve Jobs.
