I delivered proof .
It showing that the Chinese companies have marginal brand value compared to even the Japanese ones.
If you you don't like it bring better : )
Hey, I think skipped my proof. You needed to prove that:
1. Valve has no or very weak hierarchy. You've failed; you showed a reduction in
layering of hierarchy but actual concentration of power among the elite.
2. Valve's performance is TWICE that of its major competitors which you claim use more rigid hierarchy. You have not attempted this; likely because you've realized it's stupid and wrong.
3. Number 1 causes number 2 instead of coinciding with it. You can't begin number 3 until you meet both 1 and 2 so obviously, you cannot attempt this.
Doing all of the above would show that your idea is at least
possible in a single outlier case. If you can do it, you would be neither wrong nor right. If you wanted to be right and prove
me wrong, then after that, you would still need to demonstrate that of all the companies in the world, the ones with more rigid structures tend to do worse and the ones that allow more freedom to their workers tend to do better; you need to show this in a data trend of NON-CHERRY-PICKED companies (for example, all Fortune 500 companies) to actually prove your point.
If you can't even do 1, 2, 3, I think you should offer a heart-felt concession that your idea of the masses running themselves without leadership to increase performance is a complete figment of your imagination. Trust me, Mr. Low Brand Value, we all know; we just wanna see if you take any responsibility for your own statements.
