Pros

Fantastic brand with raving fans Fantastic products that are expensive, but very convincing, hence highly differentiated. Highly guarded brand equity program: virtually no discounts and the products cost the same wherever you buy them

Cons

Most managers are with the company forever and have never seen anything else => intellectual incest As a consequence you have an ‘old boys network’: breeding ground for favoritism and cronyism The owner family has opinions- and nobody can challenge them without risking their job- but maybe that’s just the story that the ‘old boys’ tell you to justify dubious or irrational decisions (‘ the owners want that’)
