Gary Weiss

Financial, 1930s, Congress

Often in companies, you'll see tensions between sales and marketing. Sales people will want to give discounts to clients because they often get paid a commission based on how much they sell.

Profitability, However

Undermine, Devious, Neural

Parent, Part, About

Feel, Sense, Compulsion

I Think, I Remember, Very

Been, Works, Around

In a global race, can we really justify the huge number of expensive peripheral European institutions? Can we justify a commission that gets ever larger?

Focus, Larger, Organisation
