@senthilks4058 4 года назад

In early 1990 , I was working for a tech company called ESPL in India. It was a state government company and was 3rd largest computer manufacturer of India just next to WIPRO. And we were the ones who offered hardware+software solutions to banks and insurance companies and we were hoping to get the 2 place by 1993. Our company did one mistake that's launching low cost PC for Home. When others were selling for Rs.30000 we started marketing it for Rs.12000 the orders poured to reduce cost our company sourced cheap product from Taiwan and China and sold. Alas all the machines were returned soon and we couldn't repair them by the time our reputation is gone. The company collapsed . The same thing vijay Mallya did by launching Kingfisher-Red.

The biggest business mistake in my opinion is Nintendo betraying Sony during their collaboration to create a CD add-on for the SNES in 1991 Ken Kutaragi managed to convince the then-CEO of Sony, Norio Ohga, to ditch Nintendo at do it themselves. The rest is entrepreneurial/intrapreneurship history

The Ford mistake makes me think that Matt Groening based on that to create the episode where Homer meets his lost brother, the rich one, and he asks for Homer's help to design the car that the normal american wants. Homer designs this big and expensive car with all this unnecessary stuff, and his brother's company goes in bankrupcy.

@johniii8147 4 года назад

In hindsight it was a good thing by both Netflix and Google they got rejected. Neither would have became the huge success they did if they were absorbed by the larger company. We’ve seen it time and time again the larger company ends up killing off their acquisition.

@KGrane 4 года назад

I can't believe none is talking about the deal that Volvo turned down many offers from Norway that final offered stated that Volvo would get 50% of all oil found in Norwegian water/land... Since they couldn't see in to the future they again took the safe way and turned it down one final time. With all of that money Norway have earned ruffly 15.000 Billion NOK witch fast calculated in today's $ currency is rufly about 1.700 Billion US $.... And half of it would've been my county's money... Guess what we Swedish people hear from norweigans wen they see is... LoL Imagine how many mistakes we could've done with that money... Like giving it all away to EU...

To narrow down the stupidest makes of all time, I select... All 15. In business you never know about the future, can only do the here and now. Soon to be apart of history. Like a military maneuver that cost many lives or lose the battle. How about the player, the coach or the manager west makes a decision then one day is criticized for their decision. Noone can predict the future.

@anuthakur2631 4 года назад

Well you did not mention the mistake that Nokia being one of the leading mobile phone manufacturers of that time did by not accepting to move to android when it was new to the market.. Nokia was flushed out of the market and their mobile phones became obsolete.. though they made a comeback later but the brand had already lost value by then and stood quite behind in the competition.. I would also consider this as a blunder 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe the biggest business mistake ever is the one you didn't mention. Apple board of directors firing Steve Jobs back in 1985!! But for the mistakes in this video, I believe the worst one is NASA losing Mars probe because of units conversion!! its true they lost only $2.0 M, but "The Worst Mistake is the one done by the Best"

Hard to believe 20th Century Fox dropped the ball on marketing Star Wars merchandise - when they had such a success marketing Planet Of The Apes stuff back in 1968. You should have maybe mentioned the bad merger of The New York Central Railroad with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Resulted in the biggest bankruptcy in US history - until Enron came along...

no 1 should be coke declined to purchase pepsi three times! in the early 1900s pepsi was failing and was offered to coke for a good price. coke felt it didnt need a dying brand coz it was too big and getting bigger. right there and then it could have eliminated its biggest competition and could have the lion share of the market today.
