The B&N management sucked unholy balls. The business is going / went down the toilet and good people lose their jobs. B&N management illustrates what can be so wrong about large companies. Management with head totally up ass. Sony went this way for a while. Weird strategy, bad decision-making, big funding, that can only continue for so long. The management did okay. They walked away with big money, so why would they give a ****?
The interesting question is what could B&N have done differently to survive in the US and UK markets. Or indeed, what could they still do to begin again and use their existing platform?
I think the key is they must be an alternative to Amazon. By that, I mean they must offer something different.
Anyway, they clearly have no clue or vision. Great hardware though. Thanks idiot CEO for providing me with a great e-reader you overproduced so had to sell off dirt-cheap. Shame about all the workers whose livelihood you've damaged. But you're alright, I'm sure. Maybe that's the problem. HUA syndrome.
