I understand capitalism (you know, basically), and I believe in the free market and (for the most part) lack of government intervention, at least in normal trade. They’re burning bridges with former fans in the hopes of maximizing returns this fiscal year, and to the smug satisfaction of many, we’ve just seen EA’s share price take a $3 billion (yes, with a ‘b’) drop in value as a direct result. have been milking their once loyal and enthusiastic customers to the point of maximum frustration and past ethical boundaries. Reading it, I couldn't help but draw parallels with how EA, Activision, and Warner Bros. The book is filled with case studies on how profit-driven CEOs ran once-successful companies into the ground by striving solely to create shareholder value, and not caring about the other stakeholders (meaning anyone who has any interest in the business, including customers, employees, the government, and even the environment) of the business. It speaks to how taking a more holistic view of your business’ activities, and its long term sustainability can be a demonstrably better way of doing business. It’s called “Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business” and it’s written by John Mackey (the CEO of Wholefoods) and Raj Sisodia. I’ve just finished reading a fantastic book that resonated with me on so many levels.
