As far as Jack Nasser goes, yes he ignored product, bought high ticket “premium brands”. What else he did was pander to the minority groups and promote based on quotas and skin color. Not on competency. As a result the best talent got left behind, or left, leadership suffered and then the product suffered even more. Again a case of not focusing on the business, rather focusing on the “external societal goals” of affirmative action, political correctness and selling to niche groups (gays) which in the end, don’t buy product simply because it was advertised in “their” magazine. Isn’t it about time that businesses focus on what their business is and leave the social engineering alone? Seems like whenever a company gets outside their competency, it costs them money. Oh and I’m not anti gay or black, or bigoted. Shouldn’t we promote based on competency, what people can bring to an organization to make it more competitive, to make it stronger?
