Definitely not a light read, but a great article. Having work at 2 very large engineering companies myself, it presents a rather accurate depiction of how the decision / design process of a new product goes. Espicially when you take into account the design engineers vs management perspective and how risks need to be taken to be successful in high technology.
Great article. Well worth my time.
