IMO the world is dominated by people who are close to retirement. The government is dominated by people close to retirement. (and I mean most governments in the EU and North American sectors and quite a few others as well)

I don't see this as skewing the decision making process. If you dominate the publishing industry you should alreadyhave a pretty good personal wealth and retirement package.

Rightly or wrongly, the majority are making their decisions based on the company's bottom line and what it will do for the company, not for the additional dollars it will add to their pension, buyout package or similiar.

So the company makes an additional 10 million, the president, vice-president and other senior partners would not see much of this personally except perhaps for rising prices on stock that they owned which has nothing to do with retirement.
