The problem with business today is the idea that in order to succeed,
you have to have continued growth, meaning you have to make more and
more money, any way you can. We've seen businesses kill themselves
with that attitude, by turning out inferior products or asking users
to pay more and more for essentially the same thing.



The notion that businesses must grow is in part the recycling of profits
toward that growth. Compounding the original investment is the path to
high revenue and return over time.

Unfortunately, with some exceptions, many North American companies are
short term profit growth driven. This takes the eye off the long term.
Further focusing management bonuses on short term objectives and stock
price growth is not exactly beneficial to product development and
quality over time.
