Yes, yes, yes. Those MBAs don't know music.  But why were they hired in
the first place?  Could it be they were the last hope to keep to company
afloat?

The hiring may just be an indication of the softening of demand for the
product.  Whoever operates best in the "mean and lean" mode may be the
one who survives.  

I don't like the idea of a survivor with a poor product, but it could
happen.
