It's really hard to recover from a downgrade in culture. I hear the same kinds of things about IBM. I'm pretty sure there are other examples.

The tough part is - it is sad.

Read about boeing and Tex Johnston:

and IBM invented the PC:

Other examples include Xerox and Kodak.

I also wonder if it has happened in the past, with a subsequent recovery, to some American car companies? GM pre-2008 perhaps?
