Groupon Doomed by Too Much of a Good Thing

 

"Clayton Christensen would agree with the intuition that Groupon displays but ignores: businesses should become profitable before they become big. The best way to manage a fledgling business is for managers to be impatient for profit but patient for growth. Such a strategy limits an early venture's funding in order to force the business to develop a profitable business model and then invests heavily in growth once such a model is identified — Christensen terms such investments"good money" for incubating growth businesses and extols the strategy for three reasons."

Pat,
No, I will not be at the FICPA meeting. However my firm is having a table at the Celebration of Biotechnology event, so stop by.

Bill. Thanks for the welcome. Perhaps we'll meet at the Celebration of Biotechnology next week. I plan to stop by between noon and 2pm.

Carol. Thanks for the welcome. I hope to meet you, too. Will you be attending the local FICPA meeting next week? If so, perhaps we can meet there.

Welcome Pat. I saw you at the last GAIN luncheon but didn't have a chance to meet you when the meeting was over. I hope to meet you next month.

Hello, all. I just joined GAIN-Net and the Accounting group and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Pat O'Byrne and I'm a CPA with over 20 years of experience in private and public accounting.
