Lots of politics and infighting.

Though there are still lots of talents, there are incompetents.

Lack of focus and growth.

Innovation is not always valued.

Advice to Management

Cut fat, be lean and mean.

Don't overdiversify business.

Focus on important markets.

Don't just follow innovation from other companies.
