But sir, are you talking about the survival of the company or its objectives? the paradigm im talking about is making the increase of profit THE objective of a company but it doesnt apply to some examples. Of course that every company NEEDS the profit and that basic equation to survive and im not passionizing the question, I am talking about the companies these days that make some actions that just wont apply to the classic point of view.
for instance when you make sponsored FSO. is there profit evolved in THAT specific decision? in the classic point of view such idea would never go forward, it isnt looking at the profit, it is looking at something else rigth on that time: image? propaganda?. in the end it WILL result in profit of course but do you see what i mean? walking far from Taylorism. looking at the outside.
a few days ago there was a memorial fligth for flackfud that has passed. ok, you migth say, but it wasnt the company that really organized it (i dont know if it did) but you made it indirectly, the only reason people homenaged that man and others is because of this "feeling" of family HTC leaves to the comunity, it is all indirect: giving the feature of creating oficial squads, organizing events, FSO's and other things that make the gaming experience something else, something more human. there is no profit there, is more emotional then phisical. and well if your objective is profit, it will result in it. but in the classic view, you would never look for profit in that way.
it would be cutting costs. classic. fire some people, buy cheaper, and economic material etc.
