“The biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel good because it provides you with enemies. The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in the world is in you."

And if you are a Business Owner & Leader, let’s have a coffee to see how we can challenge your status quo. #strategy #foresight #education #lifelonglearning #economy #future #business #innovation #leadership #BusinessOwners #businessadvice #TABBoards #tabboardssa

As pianos are made of wood, it is assumed that Steinway should have leftover wood materials that can be used for making speakers. The manufacturer should also be skilled in processing the wood materials that produce the best sound quality. The question is whether the halo effect of Steinway works in the hi-fi world. What do you think about this brand extension?
