«Hating EA is so last year,» CEO John Riccitiello told Kotaku at E3 in 2008, talking to us about what Electronic Arts had learned
from its old ways of doing business — ways that look an awful lot like how Activision appears to conduct itself these days.
As a school leader, I'm tasked with helping staff transition
from old ways of doing business to more forward - looking ways of collaborating and planning for instruction that leverages technology to enhance student learning.
Should you differentiate your product
from the
old way of doing things, or should you focus on the handful
of other
businesses working to establish the new market?
(3) this team is rotting
from the inside out and it's going to take some unprecedented moves on the part
of this board and the fans to facilitate the necessary changes... this club must rid itself
of it's absentee billionaire landlord before we become just another sporting wasteland in this man's collection
of flailing clubs... when this is
done it will expose just what exactly has been going on behind the scenes and I'm afraid
of what will be uncovered because if Wenger's
business model is as antiquated as his football philosophy it could look an awful lot like and
old Monty Python sketch in the backroom... we need to replace the owner with someone who actually cares about this club and isn't afraid to wear their emotions on his or her sleeves or spend their own money to achieve greatness... this new owner needs to find someone who represents the same sort
of cutting edge that Wenger represented in his early years then pair that individual with someone who knows how to conduct transfers in the modern era... then and only then will we find a
way to escape the malaise that has permeated our once storied club for
way too many years
