    Default Circuit City

    I did'nt know exactly where to post this. This news is about 2 weeks old now. It is brutal and sickening. Was there some other way?

    I'm not good at this but here just one link http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070328/circu...ffs.html?.v=10

    Yep. Different leadership. CC has been struggling with an outdated business plan for some time. BB, which I am no fan of, changed their emphasis a few years ago when the old way became an obvious dead end. They are now very profitable. Takes a lot to radically change a business plan.

    The difficulty I have is with how it was done. Look at the automobile and airline industry though not out of the woods yet. Labor and management worked together and sacraficed pay and benefits to survive and return to profitability.

    Some airlines and some auto companies have remained profitable all along. It's a complicated issue but it always come down to leadership. With the domestic auto industry, the leadership needs to exist both within and without. It has neither.
    CC just arrived in our area recently. I was pretty disappointed with their business model. It seemed to be straight out of the 80's. They may have tweaked it a bit but that's not what gets the job done in today's market.

    That's an excellent example of how so many companies and our electoral system define leadership. There are alternatives.
