here is a zen sort of saying that reads, “those who gain power do so by giving it away.” What does this mean to you–especially within an organizational context?

Why has industry historically produced in large lots?

a. marketing prefers large lots, and marketing is generally powerful
b. Interest is a dominant component of carry cost, which makes large lots economical
c. Setup time has been typically considered as a given, not easy to change
d. Industry has had a preference for fewer models, and therefore larger quantities per year and larger lots per order make sense.
