What good is strategy right now?

Big business monkey
Nothing's funny
Big business monkey
Everything's money
He sold cheeseburgers with that cashier’s smile
He runs his house like a burger king manager
And the only jokes he knows are the ones that'll put you down
Big business monkey
He'll take over the world
And you can have it now
But you can't take it with you
And everything you cling to
Will rot
And everything you do
Will be forgot
By everyone you ever tried to
Impress

— A song by Daniel Johnston

(listen, you won’t regret it)

Hey friends!

I don’t have a regular post this week, because this is not a regular week. Instead, in solidarity with the protests, I want to offer one short thought that’s been on my mind.

I have a lot of fun theorizing about business strategy. It’s a satisfying intellectual challenge. But there’s also a voice in my head that tells me if I’m not careful it could perhaps be slightly... bad?
