    it would depend of course. going from hand made to highly automated is a game changer in many ways. Make sense?

    absurd generalization often the company that gets down the volume learning curve fastest does bury the competition. Please keep in mind MBA's are a dime a dozen.

    nobody is talking about the nature of the labor force. Surprise you've created another strawman.

    So you use an absurd generalization to counter mine?

    WEll yours sure as hell not ain't worth more than that. Not spoken like a guy that just spent tens of thousands on buying his MBA.

    Oh you mean the industrial revolution was a "game changer"? Gee, that's a revelation.

    We are talking about a highly technological company like Apple making continuing investments in their infrastructure. The transition from hand labor to technology is a fallacious comparison and really weak argument in context.

    I suggest you stop ending your points with a plea for agreement or validation. So far you haven't earned any in my book.

    this from an MBA? what a clumsy attempt. Yeah, nature of the labor force isn't the kind of thing to be considered when attempting to bury the competition.

    Keep diggin'. So far I have not noticed anything from you isn't high school introduction to economics class level. And as for business expertise, it reminds me of my nephew working the counter at Mickey Ds.

    Care to blow me away with a demonstration of the depth and breadth of your expertise? I'll wait.

    demonstrated lack of understanding and fixation on one dimensional causation and effect.

    So you were trained as an MBA to not consider all the contributory elements in an integrated plan of action when making business investment decisions.

    Yep got it in one.

    No idea what your subject is let alone your point. Do we really care how much you paid for your MBA??

    Oh I got it decades ago. But I don't have enough years left to me to wait for you to get it.

    Boy, who knew that transformational production technologies and their associated process methodologies make a huge difference in "efficiency".

    You don't even have the basic vocabulary of an MBA.

    don't recall saying I had a MBA or that Jobs Gates Bezos Brin Zukerburg Ellison etc did or anything about an integrated plan. Do you know the subject here? Do you know what a strawman is?

    I see cultural references are lost on you. Trouble making the association?

    Ahhhh, mea culpa. I confused you with another poster who claimed such. It explains much.

    You can't very well display MBA level knowledge when you dont' have one. Please accept my apologies for such references to your obvious knowledge gap as evidence of misrepresentation.

    OTOH, you still display a simplistic one dimensional understanding of how and why businesse go thru the process of making large capital investments.

    I can respect a man who who admits his confusion. Doesn't it make you wonder if your confusion is more general than you think?

    Okay. "build it and they will come" is a reference to the movie field of dreams in which the central figure starts having visions of dead all star baseball players in his cornfield. He becomes obsessed and builds a baseball diamond in the field because he keeps hearing voices that say "build it and they will come" So he does and they do.

    In business this strategy doesn't work. IN fact it is a completely bass ackwards approach that raises the risk factor exponentially. Thousands of IPO flush companies going down the tubes by getting way ahead of themselves are a testament to its efficacy.
