[…] So what separates the success from the failure when each has access to the same ingredients, the same customer base, etc. I suppose it’s like Hugh MacLeod says, “The future belongs to the artists and the Chinese…I am not Chinese.” […]

I say business a performance art. We act in a certain way to communicate meaning to our audience. The performance is still up for interpretation, but if you budget is large enough, you get to do it again, refining the message and artifacts.

@chris — Chinese dynasties (imperial or otherwise) have not remained cohesive for long largely because of traditions around property and wealth distribution. Estates were generally divided between multiple male heirs (in contrast with the Western European tradition of primogeniture), meaning that significant wealth could be diminished over just a few generations.
Just sayin’.

Thirty years ago a similar quote was said by one of the most famous and significant Greek music composers, Manos Hadjidakis, who had stated that “In Greece the most important artists are communists or homosexuals. And I am not a communist”.
I say great minds think alike! )
