Anythingbutjazz,

My point is not to demean or diminish the author. My point is that the author, more than others, will be cognizant of the fact that organizations bungle. All the time. Some bunglings lead to financial ruin, others to cases of mismanagement.

Does commercial success translate to respectable or good – depends on how you define respectable or good.

And you can be good, respectable and a commercial success – the three qualities are not mutually exclusive.

Cheers,

“Of the many publications that the author has worked with, how many have shut shop?” – Homer, that was surely uncalled for – and very ungentlemanly.

There are many a great publications that failed to succeed commercially and had to shut shop. Does that mean that they were not respectable or good? In fact, Cricinfo shut down its monthly magazine not too long back in history. The Indian Express may be struggling commercially and the Hindu may not be as big as the Times of India, but the biggest commercial successes are not always the finest, are they?
