原文

When the long-awaited moment arrived, Vista turned out to be in as sorry a state of semicompletion as Mr. Jobs could have hoped for. Many pieces of hardware that customers already owned, like printers, turned out to be incompatible with the new Vista models.

The spectacle of Microsoft’s customers scrambling to avoid buying machines with Vista was a sight to be savored for those watching from Apple’s offices in Cupertino, Calif. Dell had to retract its initial all-Vista policy and reintroduce an XP option to appease distraught customers.

嗯,從來沒想到會在『紐約時報』上看到這樣的報導,所謂三人成虎,這一定是真的了 XD

話說回來,這個年頭讀企管的學生一定很歡樂,有這麼多活生生(血淋淋?)的實際案例可討論(雖然以前學生時很少進教室,不過隱約還記得這種課程叫做個案分析-Case Study,基本上就是一群沒啥企業經驗甚至沒工作過的小朋友們拿著真實案例然後開始打嘴炮試著分析為何一家企業成功或失敗),可能的分析題目如下:

-從 vista 與 zune 看企業發展隱憂
傾企業巨大精華人才所創造的新產品為何無法在市場上獲得成功?投入大量的人力、智慧、金錢、資源與行銷,為何還是一敗塗地?是那個環節出錯了?或著是太環節做對了?

-持續創新的企業有何特質?從 iPhone 與 iPod Touch 看新產品研發與行銷之成功歷程

如果現在還是學生,這麼多真實案例信手捻來就是一篇篇的研究報告,交作業一定輕鬆無比啊~

Ps. 想學英文的人照過來,上面標紅字的第一段就是很棒的範例啊,複雜的構句同時要表達多重的內容,值得學起來,如果還能流暢的一口氣唸完不咬到舌頭就是真功夫了 XD

Ps2. 同一家公司或產品虧太多次也開始覺得挺無聊,以後除非遇到特別精彩的不然不會再提了。
