A well run company will do what is obviously correct.
A great example of this committee stuff is General Motors. I am sure you have seen the Aztec vehicle. When it came out it was the most ugly vehicle I had ever seen. The problem is NOT the Aztec, but the fact the product actually GOT TO MARKET!!! Anyone with a brain could see instant failure. I certainly did! Thankfully, the market also agrees with me, even if people dont!!!
Of course the market studies right now show that the Aztec has the highest customer satisfaction of any GM vehicle sold. I would think it has to have the highest customer satisfaction if you did actually get a customer to buy one! It would really have to be blind love!
Of course now the problem is not that the vehicle is so ugly, but the fact that they only sold 10,000 units. GM is now desperately trying to figure out what to do with this flop.
I had the exact same reaction to the Aztec - couldn't believe such an ugly car made it to market.
