If You Take Away Religion, You Can't

In The Study Of Management, Unfortunately, Many Writers Have Been So Anxious To Articulate A Theory In The Form Of, "if You Do This, This Will Result," That They Never Go Through This Careful Effort.

Management Has To Provide The Coordinating Mechanism Between What The Supplier Provides And What The User Needs In Not-good-enough Situations Where Product Architecture Is Consequently Interdependent. Management Always Beats Markets When There Is Not Sufficient Information.

The Biggest Mistake Is An Over-reliance On Data. Managers Will Say If There Are No Data They Can Take No Action. However, Data Only Exist About The Past. By The Time Data Become Conclusive, It Is Too Late To Take Actions Based On Those Conclusions.

Often They [writers On The Study Of Management] Have A Point Of View Based Upon Intuition And Experience. They Then Offer A Cadence Of Two-paragraph Examples Carefully Selected To "prove" Their Theory, And Then They Write "one Size Fits All" Books. The Message Is, "if You'd Do What These Companies Did, You'd Be Successful Too."

I Have Been Blessed To See Visions Of Eternity; And Events In My Future That Have Been Important For Me To Foresee, Have Been Revealed To Me.
