And what drives this corporate greed? It isn't the small stockholders.
It is the large "institutional" (read insurance companies and investment
banks among others ) stockholders. How many times have you read in the
business news that "XYZ Corporation reported a quarterly profit today,
but their stock price fell as it did not meet expectations." Whose
expectations? Not mine or yours but those of the "Wall Street analysts."
And who do these "analysts" work for? Why the investment banks,
insurance companies and the large brokerage firms who are all in bed
together (and have been for decades). Who are they looking out for, not
you or me or, especially, the business sectors that they "analyze!" <end
of rant>

It is generally the short sighted nature of many businesses. They are all
trying to hit next quarters projected profits. That gets pushed down into
the entire organization. Guess what suffers: reputation. Very few
American companies successfully balance today's profits with maintaining
quality.
Ford, GM, chrysler all let the japanese and now the koreans beat them in
quality. What happened is history and repeats over and over again.

I don't think most big companies employ anyone whose job it is to care.
