    I agree sears is an example but what you said isn’t why. I’m thinking of how they had a lunatic Ayn Rand fan ceo who made departments compete with each other for resources. If grills did better, tools suffered even if tool sales were up.

      True, I just felt like I kind of covered that talking about Jack Welch. He is, afaik, the one who really started off the trend of intra-company competition. I mentioned that other companies follow GE in that regard, and Sears was one of them for sure.
