Is H-D Headed for Irrelevance?
By John Davis • May 20th, 2009 • Category: Blog PostsMac over at the Northwest Harley Blog has an excellent take on the state of Harley-Davidson. Seeing parallels in Jim Collin’s new book, When the Mighty Fall:
Harley-Davidson has been quite mighty. But they broke the first rule of Mr. Collins’ book. Which he labels Stage 1: “Hubris Born Of Success”. “Stage 1 kicks in when people become arrogant, regarding success virtually as an entitlement, and they lose sight of the true underlying factors that created success in the first place.”
