The way the computer biz works these days, is the brightest start up a company to make a widget. If it is successful, a large company buys them out and begins the process of manufacturing and distributing the widget. The bright young things begin a new startup company making a new widget. /BAH

And you believe there are an infinite number of widgets to be invented that the big companies can't think of too ? Graham

Sigh! I wish you had more thinking ability. It is more cost effective to have startups do the R&D of a new widget. They will be ones who eat the costs of all mistakes and all the ideas that don't help to produce the widget. Since the computer biz now seems to allow only a 3-month development cycle, the above is the only way to do the development piece. If you think about it, it's a very efficient method. The larger company doesn't have to constantly manage any R&D, especially the job of having to herd the brightest. All they need to do is write a check or stock options and pick up the development process right have all the kinks and problems have been solved. Drug development is taking on the same model with the appropriate modifications to the distriubtion process. /BAH |
