While I agree with everything Ronan says, I believe that a major cause of Cape Clear's problems was the unrealistic belief that it could take over the world. Instead of reading the runes and retrenching in a defensible niche, it hired heavily based on funding that was brought in due to some excellent marketing activities that convinced many people it was doing better than it was. As reality dawned, its fate was sealed. Steve I have to add my own opinions to Ronan’s thoughtful post – I fear he is being too charitable.
