5 warning signs to watch for in failing businesses



This is a fascinating article - aimed at Apple - but probably true for any large business.

What I found more interesting is not about what to look for to check your share valuation, but what goes through the minds of the senior management team that thinks these courses actions are going turn the tide, and return the business to growth and success.

As a short cut, the headline are here:

1. The size of the board of directors starts to grow.

2. The number of products expands dramatically.

3. Departures of senior executives.

4. Leaks to the press.

5. Acquisitions, especially big ones.


The main article is very much worth a read: click here to the original article.
