Before getting pimped to Adidas Salomon, Mavic made good, non-gimmicky rims which were consistently among the roundest and flattest I have ever seen. However, it seems that manufacturing a consistently good product is not enough when you are expected to increase revenue at a contiuously accelerating rate forever....

My comment referred to the situation where it is not good enough to make a quality product (or provide a quality service), sell it at a fair price, and earn a reasonable profit from it. The demand is always there to grow bigger and increase revenue, regardless of the negative consequences.
