Cortez wanted his own island kingdom
and his explorers found one for him. So
the “modern” world believed CA was an island for 175 years.

"So we went to Atari and said, "Hey
we've got this amazing thing, even
built with some of your parts, what do
you think about funding us? Or we'll
give it to you. We just want to do it.
Pay our salary, we'll come work for
you." And they said, "No". So then
we went to Hewlett Packard and they
said, "Hey, we don't need you; you
haven't even got through college yet."

Ninety percent of the time you don't.• The purpose of an organization is to enable common men to do uncommon things.

Public and nonprofit organizations should focus on developing easily understandable and viable “livelihood schemes.” The schemes will build on strengths (and especially distinctive competencies), take advantage of opportunities, and minimize or overcome weaknesses and threats to achieving aspirations, and will be robust in the face of changing environments.

Conclusion
Teamwork is neither "good" nor "desirable." It is a fact. Wherever people work together or play together they do so as a team. Which team to use for what purpose is a crucial, difficult and risky decision that is even harder to unmake. Managements have yet to learn how to make it.
Peter F. Drucker (1909-2005)
